I Fought The Law Guitar Lesson
Dive into the rebellious world of punk guitar with Michael Casswell's detailed tutorial on The Clash's legendary anthem, "I Fought The Law," presented by Lick Library. In this engaging lesson, Casswell thoroughly explores the distinctive guitar style of Mick Jones, demonstrating how to master the song’s energetic rhythm built around open-string riffs and punchy power chords. Emphasising key guitar techniques such as alternate picking, palm muting, and rhythmic syncopation, this tutorial clearly breaks down each section, helping you capture the authentic sound of the original recording. The short yet impactful guitar solo, constructed around the minor pentatonic scale, is covered in depth to ensure you grasp its expressive phrasing and melodic intensity. As part of Lick Library's comprehensive "Learn to Play The Clash" series, this tutorial sits alongside lessons on other Clash classics such as "London Calling," "White Riot," "Should I Stay or Should I Go," and "Tommy Gun." Michael Casswell's clear instruction and engaging approach make this lesson ideal for guitarists of all skill levels looking to perfect their technique and authentically replicate the raw spirit of punk rock.
