Learn to Play Whitesnake: Master the Art of Iconic Rock Guitar
Join Lick Library's Danny Gill and dive into the thrilling world of Whitesnake, the seminal British hard rock band. Licklibrary.com presents "Learn to Play Whitesnake," an immersive course that invites you on a musical journey through five of the band's monumental hits: Still of the Night, Fool For Your Lovin', Is This Love, Here I Go Again, and Judgement Day.

The Whitesnake Phenomenon
At the helm of Whitesnake's defining sound is lead guitarist, Reb Beach, renowned for his dynamic and emotive style. Beach's contributions to these tracks span fiery solos, expressive bends, and memorable riffs, each showcasing his technical prowess and creative vision. His signature style blends both major and minor scales, resulting in a rich tapestry of sound that is at once robust, evocative, and always unmistakably 'Whitesnake.'
Dissecting the Songs
Still of the Night
The lesson starts with the captivating 'Still of the Night.' Here, you will find a blend of blues scale riffs and hard rock punch. The song is powered by palm-muted power chords, interspersed with scorching minor pentatonic licks. Its centerpiece is a guitar solo that employs rapid-fire alternate picking, sweep picking, and an expressive vibrato.
Fool For Your Lovin'

Here I Go Again
'Here I Go Again' throws a spotlight on Beach's riff-writing capabilities. The song's structure revolves around power chords, with the memorable addition of a slide technique that gives the main riff its unique sound. The solo, a harmony-infused piece, calls upon your alternate picking skills and your proficiency in handling double-stops.
Judgement Day
