If you don’t know this easy guitar song, listen to a few seconds of David’s Performance and you’ll probably want to learn how to play it. It’s not just a great old party song, but the guitar techniques used show you how to fill a room with music without too much technical wizardry. In this guitar lesson David teaches a simple, and extremely useful Strum Pattern, the “Train Beat.” The chords on this song are easy so you can focus on learning that awesome groove that makes the song really rock.

Lesson Description

This guitar lesson has 7 chapters. The Performance shows you what we want to have you learn in the lesson. The Overview tells you what you need to know to speak intelligently about the song in social situations, plus the chords you need to know. We then move to the Verse/Chorus chapter where David explains in great detail the Strum Pattern you’ll need to know to get your grooving. In the Rhythm Licks chapter you'll learn how to play the bells and whistles that bring the guitar part to life. In the next Bonus Chapter David puts the rhythm licks together and plays them for (and hopefully, with) you over and over nice and slowly. Finally David gives you the Slow Practice. At RhythmStrummer.com we consider this a very important part of our teaching, and something that you’ll rarely find other Internet guitar teachers bothering with. Finally, we have another Bonus Chapter where David shows you the guitar solo that he plays in the Performance section. If you put in the time, this lesson will make your guitar playing significantly better.
