Maniac Guitar Lesson – Michael Sembello

In this Maniac guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this smash hit from Michael Sembello in its entirety.

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

We are obviously dealing with a synth driven song here, but those synth riffs make for some great guitar riffs as well. This whole song translates very well to the guitar and is a lot of fun to play.

Besides all of the synth to guitar transcriptions I will be demonstrating in this lesson, I will also cover Michael Sembello's amazing guitar solo note-for-note.

This solo employs some very melodic playing along with some flashy and unorthodox tapping licks. It is one of those solos that is instantly recognizable along with the opening keyboard riff.

I will take you through each section of the song in the order that each appears on the original recording.

Have fun learning this rock guitar arrangement of this Michael Sembello 80's classic! Carl...

Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone) Guitar Lesson – Cinderella

In this Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone) guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of the chords and guitar solo for this great song by Cinderella.

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

I will first go through all of the guitar chords on an acoustic guitar. There are a few guitars heard on the original recording, both acoustic and electric. Some of the time they are strumming the chords, other times they may be arpeggiating the chords or playing a fill. I am just sticking with the underlying chords for this lesson, similar to what Tom Keifer plays live.

After we get through the chords, I will then switch to electric guitar and show you how to play Tom's awesome guitar solo note-for-note. There are some beautiful melodies in this solo, and some great blues based playing all-around.

I hope you guys enjoy learning this great song from Cinderella! Carl...

Aerials Guitar Lesson – System Of A Down

In this Aerials guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of the guitar parts for this massive hit by System Of A Down.

The tuning is drop C tuning. That is, starting from the 6th string, C G C F A D.

Then clean arpeggiated picking sequences heard throughout "Aerials" are definitely the most challenging sections of the song. Guitarist Daron Malakian takes great advantage of the drop C tuning to create a flowing arpeggio sequence with a droning effect along with the melody being handled by a moving bass line. This creates a very haunting quality to these sections.

I will talk about a couple of different ways that you can pick these arpeggios to make them as easy as possible. However, to get it up to album tempo can be a challenge for even experienced players. It is lots of fun to play though, and a great technique workout.

The rest of the riffs in "Aerials" are a lot easier to play and I will take you through each one of them in the order that each of them appears on the original recording.

Have fun learning this great song from System Of A Down! Carl...
