Guitar Lovers

Many people who are interested in music gravitate towards the electric guitar. Especially if you’re interested in learning music with a bit more of an edge to it, it’s a fantastic place to start with your musical training. Whether you’re teaching yourself or you’re turning to a professional tutor for help, there are some amazing and iconic songs available for new or established lovers of electric guitars.

If you want to learn songs that feature the electric guitar, try learning the main riff of “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes. Or perhaps you’re more interested in Weezer songs, in which case you should learn “Say It Ain’t So.” And if you want to take your guitar lessons to earlier works, tackle “Foxy Lady” by Jimi Hendrix or “Layla” by . Whatever song you learn, don’t forget that there are numerous online videos with step by step tutorials, so if you ever get stuck, you can probably find a video to help you along.

When the Rolling Stones released “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction,” Keith Richards inadvertently set the music world ablaze with the usage of a Gibson fuzzbox that he used during the recording.  By the end of 1965, Gibson sold out of the pedal and other guitarists began experimenting with finding their own tones and sounds.

These days, there are a variety of different guitar effect pedals out there, all of which can produce different sounds based on the pedal type, guitar, and amp.  Many guitarists use pods, which can emulate a variety of tones, while others will use traditional pedals to change their sounds quicker. 

Finding the perfect tone can take time, particularly if you’re using multiple guitars and pedals.  While it can be time consuming, it will be worth it once you’re able to find the best tones for your songs.
