How to play the somewhat tricky chorus of Let It Die by the Foo Fighters. I'm fairly new to guitar, so this is my first video lesson. Includes finger patterns, picking order, and slowed-down and up-to-speed versions of the riff at the end.

Off their newest album, Echoes, Silence, Patience, & Grace.

  • DUDE this is so gonna get me laid thnx :D

  • Great job. You have a lot of patience to walk through each note like that. I personally find it easier to learn a song by just watching someone play it normally, or maybe slowed down a little like you did in the end. If you just see where on the neck the riff is being played, and listen carefully, you can usually figure it out, easier than tabs, in my opinion. I also find the notes ring better if the acoustic part is played with a pick. Just my two cents.
