Dave will show you the 2 electric guitar parts in this song that use grungy distorted tones and classic alternating quiet and loud dynamic levels to dramatic effect.

In this tutorial we're going to explore what I think is an extremely underrated tool from the classic rock toolkit. I'm talking about melodic sequences, which may sound technical, but I'm sure you'll recognize the sound of it from countless classic solos. Mixing in this sound with your regular pentatonic soloing will give your lead playing an epic and melodic boost. 

I'll be using my Gretsch Duo Jet for this practice tune, on the bridge pickup, and I'll be running it through a small Fender amp with a bright tone and a little bit of reverb. In front of that I'm using this overdrive pedal called "Mudhoney", and I'm also using an EQ pedal to give me that iconic somewhat nasally midrange boost. But you can of course play this practice tune without this effect and on any guitar and amp combination that you have available. Let's get started! 

In this series of nine guitar lessons, Mike Olekshy will show you how to play the classic rock song "Rock and Roll Fantasy", as made famous by Bad Company in 1977.

You'll learn the rhythm guitar and trill, the verse and arpeggio chorus; then the guitar solo and the song outro. As always, we'll play it all though in a final full performance; then it's your turn to jam with the backing track.

Starting with an overview of phrasing then applying an appropriate tone, Anders will then look at shorter phrases. The idea of leaving space is next, then longer phrases.

Next in the queue are D string root power chords and dominant 7ths, followed by one-finger power chords and power 9 chords in drop D tuning. We'll put it together in a practice tune, then do some practice exercises.
