Fingerpicking Technique

8.

The main riff is only three chords…three chords that’ll make you want to dance around your room and air guitar until your fingers bleed (except you’ll actually HAVE a real guitar)!

9.

I searched hard to find an easy Kiss song, as you gotta have a bit of Kiss! This one is basically a pentatonic pattern for the verse, followed by powerchords in the chorus.

10.

If you’re my age or older, you’ll remember this from the chewing gum advert…

11.

Another tune from ACDC, the band that have a knack for turning three chords into a classic rocker!

12.

“School’s out for summer…”

…well even if it’s not, there’s still the hope…

13.

Eric Clapton and the D minor blues scale all the way!

14.

Was also covered by Jimi Hendrix!

15.

This one is mostly open chords 🙂� …with a few barre chords…

16.

Again, powerchords FTW!

17.

Good Old 12 bar blues! This one’s in G, and the hardest part is when you have to play doublestops!

18.

"Wooohoooo!"

19.

Actually played on the Record by Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin!

20.

The famous one that Motorhead’s “Lemmy” sang on…making the other band members jealous of his success!
