Now it's time to play through our song with the band. I highly encourage you to just watch and listen a few times before you start playing along yourself.

Congrats on playing your very first song with multiple sections. I hope it makes sense how they all function together, and I'm sure you felt how fun it is to play a riff within a song. For the verse and the chorus we're most often trying to blend in with the band and support the vocals, but when the riff comes we get to take center stage, and that's always a cool feeling.

Please help me out. I got ahead of my self on the lessions and now I'm having trouble trying to keep up with the new lessions. How can I go back and learn what I need to learn to keep up with the new lessions? Please let me know.

Hey there - thanks so much for your question! Just below the Notation window (to the right of the video), you'll see a list of Chapters and Lessons of your current tutorial. I recommend going back and clicking on the previous chapter, then start working through it again. The beauty of online lessons is that you can skip around, repeat lessons, and learn at your own pace. Use this list if you ever feel you need to go back to a previous chapter or lesson. Hope this helps!!

This notation contains music navigation symbols which haven't been previously used or discussed -- Segno (sign) and Dal Segno. Do you have a lesson or primer on music notation navigation? Thanks.

Hi there, just a quick question Is it me, or during the riff section Anders strums both the low E string and the A string? I assume that the A string is muted. What finger does he use to mute it? Just to understand which is the best and more comfortable way Thank you!!
Mike Olekshy 1 year ago

Hello - thanks so much for your question! Yes, Anders is muting the A string by curling his fretting fingers in a way so that a bit of flesh is touching the A string (and possibly the D string). This is the easiest and most comfortable way to mute the other strings when strumming notes on the low string. Hope this helps!

Do you rest your forearm on the guitar for support?

Hello - thanks so much for your question! You can indeed rest your forearm on the guitar for support.

Hi there! Actually, quite unexpectedly experiencing difficulties with sliding powers in chorus, so IMHO it should be marked as at least second level of difficulty 😅. Still, I'm absolutely in love with the way, you are presenting material. I'm looking forward to nailing my slides and see what's in the next levels :)
Mike Olekshy 2 years ago

Hello - thanks so much for your kind words and suggestion. Yes indeed, the slides are a bit challenging at first. Keep at it!! In the meantime, I'll forward your suggestion to admin.

I'd also just like to say this was a really cool section and things really felt like they were coming together being able to play along to this!
Mike Olekshy 2 years ago

Hello - thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad you are feeling like it's all coming together and that you could play along with it! Keep at it!
