Trial and Error

BeginnerRockCool Riffs Song tutorial5 lessons5m

Hey everyone! In this tutorial we'll be learning a piece called "Trial and Error". It has a mix of some old school progressive rock elements as well as some modern rock elements. I labeled this as a "Beginner" tutorial. However, if you're just starting out on guitar this might be a little tough. But either way, this is a good piece to try and learn so you can get used to some basic guitar techniques. Once you've watched the video above, head on over to the next page for Exercise 1!
