Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out.

Guitar Lesson Overview

Here is "Back in Black", by AC/DC. It's a bit tricky to play this one so it sounds really nice and tight. The timing is extremely important in this song. I noticed on my video here that I am a bit sloppy with the timing myself - so please excuse me.
I recommend you practice playing it quite a bit slower than what AC/DC does. Use a drum track/loop and the increase the tempo only once you get a hang of all the parts. The beats per minute (BPM) on this video when I do the slow part is 75.

Learning guitar at your own pace

I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.

There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.

Go check it out and see what you think. Since it is completely free for 7 days, you really should test it out. You have nothing to lose. If you are interested in learning guitar online, you would be silly not to take advantage of this. If you do decide to sign up, I receive a little bonus, so this way you help support dolphinstreet as well!

Guitar Pro

I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.

Order Guitar Pro 6, and also get our guitar-playing method for free.

Video Clips

I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.

Thanks. My son wanted to learn Back in Black and your instruction video was just the ticket. He's just starting out and found your video easy to follow. He still doesn't quite have it, but that's just practice.
