Lesson Performance Notes

Here I Go Again

A timeless classic that embodies the spirit of rock, "Here I Go Again" features powerful chord progressions and memorable melodies. The song revolves around major scale patterns, with the electric guitar churning out an inspiring solo laden with string bends and slides. Its melodic riffs are a true testament to rock ballads of the '80s.

Still Of The Night

One of Whitesnake's heavier songs, "Still Of The Night" introduces guitarists to a blend of bluesy bends and rapid alternate picking sequences. The dark, brooding intro builds up to explosive riffs, demonstrating the versatility of rock guitar playing. The solo section is a whirlwind of tapped harmonics and rapid legato runs.

Judgement Day

"Judgement Day" showcases an array of guitar techniques. From its syncopated rhythms to its open-string riffs, this song is a masterclass in rock guitar. The solos are a playground of dive bombs, arpeggios, and pinch harmonics, providing guitarists with a comprehensive workout.

Fool For Your Loving

This track harks back to the blues roots of rock. With its galloping rhythms and bluesy bends, "Fool For Your Loving" offers a melodic exploration interspersed with power-packed riffs. Its chorus, driven by power chords, is both anthemic and evocative.

Is This Love

One of the most heart-wrenching ballads of the '80s, "Is This Love" blends emotion with technique. The guitar work in this song features chord progressions that capture the essence of love and longing. The solo, with its use of sustain and vibrato, conveys a depth of feeling, making it a favorite among many guitarists.

A Nod to the Maestro: Lead Guitarist's Contribution

The magic behind these timeless tracks can be attributed largely to Whitesnake's lead guitarists, most notably John Sykes and Adrian Vandenberg. Their prowess and flair for melding melody with technique have set the gold standard for rock guitarists. Their ability to craft solos that are both emotive and technically sound makes them stand out in the pantheon of guitar greats. Their work in Whitesnake's hits serves as an inspiration and a challenge for aspiring guitarists.
