About this lesson

Learn how to play KoRn’s iconic hit "Freak on a Leash" with this full guitar tutorial from the amazing Jamie Slays! We break down every section—intro, pre-chorus, chorus, harmonics, octave chords, and those layered riffs that made this song legendary. ⦿ Played in 7-string A Standard tuning (a whole step down), just like KoRn originally did. ⦿ Includes riffs by both Head and Munky, so you can learn both guitar parts.
