In this series of lessons, Geoff Earley takes you through all the different parts for the gritty, rockin' song "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet. We'll break down the hook riff of the tune, the call and response format, the pre-chorus, the minimal chorus, the tone and vibe, some of the other licks used, and of course a play through at the end.

In this tutorial we'll learn this cover hit made famous by R.E.M. in 1986. We'll take a look at the chords and strumming, the form of the song, the tone and vibe, a play along, and finally a jam along.

In this series of lessons, we'll take some backing track loops and demonstrate ways to play with an off-the-beat, lazy feel; use space in your playing; employ some creative filler techniques for "vibe"; and more ideas found in hiphop music.
