Click here for ALL parts of this song in my Pink Floyd playlist! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOBqO_KghqI7xFxAlEYq1MnOU45enKqfh

In this note-for-note video series we are going to tackle Pink Floyd’s classic “Comfortably Numb”.
This haunting tune has two of David Gilmour’s most well known solo’s in it. You can study these solo’s as the blueprint for creating a gorgeous and melodic solo using pentatonic based playing.

Most of the rhythm guitar work in this tutorial is just showing you the chord progressions that the orchestra is playing since there is very little guitar played during the non-solo sections of the tune except for some scant acoustic guitar here and there and the power chord rhythm under the outro solo.

This video guitar lesson series consists of 5 videos total, the performance video and 4 note-for-note video lessons covering all the rhythm guitar parts, main solo and outro solo respectively. Good luck!!

Click here for ALL parts to this song in my Kansas playlist! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOBqO_KghqI6-4zpMj-CxgOZ6AzZ_qwuQ

This video guitar lesson is designed to teach you all of the beautiful guitar parts for “Dust In The Wind” by Kansas. This song is one of the most popular fingerstyle guitar guitar pieces ever written. As incredible as this song sounds it is actually only one fingerpicking pattern throughout, making it a great piece to learn.
The fingerpicking style that we are working with in “Dust In the Wind” is called Travis picking. Travis picking is the technique of using the thump to pick two repetitive bass notes to create a rhythmic and harmonic foundation for the song. It is used by not only Kansas, but by such players as Lindsay Buckingham and Chet Atkins as well.

Within these video lessons you will learn all of the intricacies of this gorgeous piece of music from the acoustic guitar parts to the viola/violin solo. That’s right, in this video guitar lesson series I have also arranged the classic viola and violin solo section for guitar to give you a complete study of this classic rock masterpiece.

There are actually two guitars playing during the original recording of “Dust In The Wind”. One guitar is in standard tuning and the other is using Nashville tuning. Nashville tuning is the process of tuning the EADG (6543) strings an octave higher than standard. This almost gives a 12 string guitar effect to the song. Within this video guitar lesson I will be using a standard tuned guitar throughout. Good luck!!

In today’s “famous riff” lesson I will show you how to playing the main opening riff from “Addicted to Pain” by Alter Bridge.

“Addicted to Pain” was the lead single off the band’s fourth studio album Fortress. It contains driving 16th note rhythms through much of the song which makes this opening main riff a great alternate picking exercise.

In this Addicted to Pain guitar lesson I will show you how to play this driving 16th note riff note-for-note.

First off, let me reiterate what I said in the video. I am tuned to Dropped “D” in this video lesson but on the actual recording guitarist Mark Tremonti is tuned to Dropped “C#”. Dropped “C#” is a tuning identical to Dropped “D” if you refer to the distance the strings are tuned apart from one another. The only difference being that he has taken the Dropped “D” tuning and lowered the pitch of every string by one half-step.

So in the video lesson you will learn exactly how Mark Tremonti plays this killer riff, but if you want to play along with the original studio recording you will need to tune your whole guitar down an additional half step. I always try not to tune down in most of my lessons since down tuning like that would require many people to have to set their guitars up just for that tuning. So I just stick mostly with standard tuning or as close to it as possible when I can.

As for the riff itself we have some fast alternate picking in 16th notes across heavily muted strings. The combination of the high register that the fretted notes are played in with the addition of open strings can make having the notes of this riff come out clearly kind of tough.

The palm muting goes a long way in making all of those notes pop-out. It is a good idea to start slow, stick with strict alternate picking and really try to accent most of the notes that occur on the 5th string. That will help you achieve the right effect for this riff.

Of course this is just the main opening riff to “Addicted to Pain”. If you guys want me to teach the entire song please let me know that by making sure this video lesson gets 600 YouTube “likes”. After it reaches that goal I will then teach the entire song, solo included.

So I hope you guys enjoy learning this challenging riff and I look forward to coming back here and teaching the entire song note-for-note once all those “likes” are in!

An introductory metal guitar lesson on how to write a riff on guitar. As it turned out, it became more how to write a metal riff in the style of Metallica. You can get guitar tabs for the examples by supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rynaylorguitar

I tasked myself with writing an old-school metal riff and thought it might be interesting to film its creation and talk you through my process.

Riffs can often come to us when we’re noodling around with ideas. In this lesson, though, we’re taking a very calculated, tried and tested approach.

We first establish a tonal centre, a note around which we are basing the riff. In the Metallica style, I’m basing my ideas in E minor. Doing this allows me to pedal the open string 6(E) with a heavy palm mute. To that, I want to add some more notes.

A great starting point for writing a guitar riff is using the minor pentatonic scale. The scale can be found on any string but for writing riffs, we’re focusing on the low string 6(E) and 5(A). E minor pentatonic is the notes E-G-A-B-D. E minor pentatonic scale riffs are very Metallica.

To add a little more colour to note possibilities, we can extend to a 7-note diatonic scale. The two that immediately spring to mind for me are the Phrygian mode (the Metallica scale) and Aeolian mode (or natural minor scale). I also add in the b5 interval in the descending part of the riff in a minor blues scale. The b5 interval sounds particularly menacing and metal!

We can create a rhythmically interesting riff with some syncopation. That is when we play notes on the upbeats, or between the beats.

Click here for ALL parts of this song in my Beatles playlist! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOBqO_KghqI477WzEQdl0MX_Ojk2uqF9e

This classic George Harrison penned tune by The Beatles was released in 1969 on the “Abbey Road” album.
The acoustic guitar parts in this song are in standard tuning with a capo at the 7th fret. This capo technique results in the song being performed as if it was in the key of D Major but actually sounding in A Major.

It can be a little tricky in the beginning to get all of the melody notes to come out in the chords so take your time and follow the picking hand instructions very closely.

This piece is beautiful even without the vocals which you can probably hear from the full performance video below. So have fun with this beautiful and uplifting tune!!

Thanks!! Carl..

In this Everlong guitar lesson I am going to teach you how to play all of this Foo Fighters smash hit in it’s entirety.

Comprising of just a few different parts I think Everlong would be a great study for just about any level of guitarist.

Be sure to tune your guitar to “Dropped D” before starting the lesson so you can play along. If you don’t know what “Dropped D” tuning is don’t worry it is a rather simple altered tuning. All you have to do is tune your 6th string down a whole step from E to D. Every other string on the guitar remains the same.

By tuning down to “Dropped D” it makes playing the add 9 chords used throughout the song much easier to play.

You will see that some parts of this Everlong guitar lesson will demonstrate a riff that is played multiple times throughout the song but in a different fashion. What I mean by that is that at times you will learn a riff that is played with a big high gain guitar tone but then at another time the same part will be played on a quite muted guitar tone.

Don’t be fooled by all of that. Just see it for what it is, the exact same guitar part simply played with a different amp sound or perhaps slightly muted.

Within the song we have an excellent chance to work on moving power chords around and playing octaves. The octave section especially is cool to practice due to all the open strings that you need to keep ringing and the quick change from an octave shape to a power chord shape.

If any section of the song gives you any trouble at all try to isolate where the problem is and just focus on that. It could be the change from just one chord to the next. If so, practice playing back and forth between only those two chords. That isolation of the problem area will help you get the move down much faster than always playing through the entire section every time you are practicing it.

In any case, Everlong is a fun song to play and I hope everyone enjoys rockin’ out to it!

Carl…
