On The Road

Description

Mike will show you the 2 electric guitar layers in this tune. Guitar 1 is the rhythm guitar that plays some jangly chord progressions, while Guitar 2 is the lead guitar playing searing licks throughout.

The song starts with a simple chord progression, then settles into the verse groove with some tight strumming from Gtr1. There’s also a short chorus and a bridge that builds the intensity even further. The tune features a simple repeated form that keeps the energy level high and forward motion at a maximum!

In the following lessons, we’ll talk about barre chords, seventh chords, syncopated strumming, and some killer early rock soloing approaches. We are in the key of F# major, with a 4/4 time signature, at a tempo of 132 BPM.
