  • Hi Guys,

    Welcome to my lesson No. 45

    Time for a cool mix of Rock, Pop & Country in the the style of Keith Urban, Rick Springfield, Richard Marx and many more.
    This beginner lesson is perfect to improve your timing with syncopated rhythms.

    The ending solo is a good demonstration how you can play a simple catchy melody with open strings.


    We have the typical song structure AABA

    A Part 0:00-0:19
    | E B | C#5 A | E B | C#5 A |
    | E B | C#5 F#5 | A | B |

    A Part 0:20-0:34
    | E B | C#5 A | E B | C#5 A |
    | E B | C#5 F#5 | A | B |


    B Part 0:34-0:50
    | A | F#m | C#m | B |
    | A | F#m | D | B|

    A Part 0:51-1:14
    | E B | C#5 A | E B | C#5 A |
    | E B | C#5 F#5 | A | B |
    | E |
    Have fun! ;-)
