Soldier of Fortune Guitar Lesson – Deep Purple

In this Soldier of Fortune guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this great song by Deep Purple note-for-note.

The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.

Ritchie Blackmore has some great stuff to learn in this one. I will cover all of the rhythm guitar parts first, demonstrating all of the acoustic fingerstyle chord work. There are A LOT of chords in this one, so this part of the video lesson will be the most challenging to memorize.

The intro that I play and teach in the video lesson is sort of combining the multiple guitars you are hearing on the original recording into one solid guitar part that will sound close to the original without needing multiple guitarists to play it.

From there we will go through the rhythm guitar sections of the verse and chorus note-for-note.

Towards the end of the video, I will grab my strat and show you how to play Ritchie's very melodic guitar solo. For the guitar solo, I will be demonstrating how to play the main line, but not all of the surrounding harmony guitar lines.

Have fun learning this Deep Purple classic! Carl...
