About this lesson

NEW 'Lonely Boy' tutorial in HD with Jam Track!! https://youtu.be/uUns-57rfsU In this video, we cover how to play the song Lonely Boy by The Black Keys. 'Riff 1' in the TAB below the video uses a 'Whammy Pedal'. This makes the pitch go down, similar to a Whammy Bar on Stratocaster guitars. This is needed to be able to play this riff, but you can also just play it normal. Riff 2 is where I'd like your attention to be focused for this level, along with the chords for the rest of the song and the rhythm in the verses. This is a fantastic song from the Rock band of the moment- enjoy!
