My Generation Guitar Lesson
Get ready to dive into one of rock’s most iconic anthems with this in-depth Lick Library tutorial as master guitarist Danny Gill breaks down “My Generation” by The Who. From the snarling attitude of Pete Townshend’s aggressive chord work to John Entwistle’s thunderous bass lines, this is a song that defined a generation—and it all starts with the guitar. In this lesson, Danny walks you through Townshend’s signature power chord stabs, rhythmic stutters, and the raw, percussive energy that turned this track into a rock 'n' roll milestone. You’ll learn how to nail the explosive intro, tackle the syncopated verses, and channel the chaos of the iconic breakdown with confidence and style. Whether you're a fan of classic rock or just want to add some attitude to your rhythm chops, this tutorial is packed with essential skills: tight right-hand technique, chord embellishments, dynamics, and timing. Danny breaks everything down note-for-note with trademark clarity, making it accessible for intermediate players and up. Strap in, crank up the amp, and learn how to play “My Generation” the way it was meant to be played—loud, loose, and full of fire.
