Blue on Black Guitar Lesson – Kenny Wayne Shepherd

In this Blue on Black guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this great song by Kenny Wayne Shepherd, from the complete chord progressions all the way through the main guitar solo.

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

The rhythm guitar parts are instantly recognizable and pretty simple to play. Kenny sticks with the main riff for most of the song with just a couple extra chords thrown in there within the chorus and guitar solo.

Most of this video lesson will be dedicated to showing you how to play Kenny's main guitar solo note-for-note. I will go through the solo phrase-by-phrase giving you a detailed understanding of what is happening for the entire solo. Quick note, Kenny uses a Chicago Iron Tycobrahe Octavia pedal in this solo but I won't be using anything like that in this video lesson. That way, you can hear how it is actually played more easily. But if you want that same sort of tone that Kenny is getting, I suggest trying out either the same pedal or some other octave/fuzz pedal.

From there I will talk about how to use the stuff you learned in the main guitar solo to improvise your own thing for the other solo sections of the song.

I hope you enjoy learning this Kenny Wayne Shepherd classic! Carl...

Tears Don’t Fall Guitar Lesson – Bullet For My Valentine

In this Tears Don't Fall guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this massive hit by Bullet For My Valentine note-for-note.

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

We have a lot to cover in this one since most of the sections of "Tears Don't Fall" have two separate guitar parts. I will take you through each one of these sections and demonstrate each guitar part for either Matt or Padge.

Some of the riffs, especially the main chorus riffs are quite easy to play. But, once we get to the interlude, harmony guitar, and guitar solo sections, all bets are off and things ramp up to quite a high technical level.

The solo is very challenging but uses a repeated lick for most of the fast stuff (except for the big ol' sweep picked part!). Isolating this pattern first, then putting it together in the song will make it much easier to get up to speed and I will demonstrate how to do that in the video lesson.

I will take you through all of this note-fore-note.

Have fun learning "Tears Don't Fall", it is definitely a fun one! Carl...
