  • Hi GMC and welcome to my lesson.

    This time it is a nice acoustic piece Tears in the Rain by Joe Satriani from his album The Extremist released in 1992.

    With his original approach to music, Satriani made a major influence in my perception of music and guitar playing. Whatever he plays, he does it very uniquely.

    Tears in the Rain is not a typical piece of music, it has no strict tempo which varies a lot. Slows down and speeds up unexpectedly. The piece is full of difficult chord stretches and changes and it can be a challenge to master it.

    Anyway, I hope you like it. :)

    Time signature: 3/4
    Tempo: 120-150 bpm
    Key signature: A Minor

    Enjoy!
