Lesson Performance Notes

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven

This heartfelt ballad, written by Clapton after the tragic loss of his son, uses the soft tones of the guitar to convey deep emotion. The song is a mix of arpeggiated chord progressions, major scales, and finger-picking. The solo, while simplistic in nature, adds layers of melancholy and reflection.

Rod Stewart - Maggie May

The heart and soul of early rock, "Maggie May" features catchy chord progressions and memorable solos. The song ventures through major scales, and the solo is rich with string-bending techniques, creating a sound that's timeless. Rod Stewart’s voice combined with the emotive guitar backdrop makes it a classic.

James Taylor - Fire And Rain

A song that speaks volumes about life and its unpredictability, "Fire And Rain" utilizes the finger-picking technique beautifully. The scale of choice here is major, with the guitar solo focusing on sustained notes for added depth. James Taylor's soulful approach to guitar is evident in every strum and pick.

Don McLean - American Pie

Telling tales of the changing American music scene, "American Pie" is a melodic journey with chromaticism and arpeggios at its core. The solo employs slides and pre-bends to tell its musical story. McLean’s ability to interweave a narrative with captivating guitar work is what makes this song an ageless wonder.

Oasis - Wonderwall

The '90s classic, "Wonderwall", is iconic for its use of capo and memorable chord progressions. The song employs a mix of major and minor scales, with the lead guitar providing a bedrock of harmonics and syncopated rhythms. Noel Gallagher's distinctive playing gives "Wonderwall" its unforgettable aura.
