Tom Sawyer Guitar Solo Lesson

A lesson for how to play the guitar solo in Rush's "Tom Sawyer". If enough people ask, I'll make a rhythm lesson as well.

Is it too late to ask for the rhythm lesson? Those four chords at the beginning are easy to get wrong very slightly. I have seen several lessons that are off but sound close. I'll just say they don't match what Alex plays in the iVideos preview.

@pschroeter1 Nah man it's not too late. I'll rewatch the iVideo lesson again because it's been a while and I'll post a lesson here within the next week or so. I have a Closer To The Heart rhythm and solo lesson if you wanna check that out in the meantime!

For those of you whining, I've been playing guitar for 15 years. This video is great. The problem is with you. You just not willing to apply some elbow grease. Back in the old days, we guitarists had to actually put on a set of headphones and figure it out ourselves. The poster of this video has saved you all a lot of time and frustration.

Thanks, Dilanadu!

this is great, you play this song very well, i cant wait to get a guitar and learn from you

[Dilanadu]

@greengummybear21 thank you!

@niggahatinsquirel maybe YOU suck? lol this tutorial is fine. you actually have to have a guitar in your hand when you watch it, and WATCH IT IN PIECES. use the pause button man, it helps a lot so you can work out each part as I explain it. Don't be a tool.

I've just noticed steveshadforth's comment; you miserable prick. this guy's taken the time out, not just to learn it, but to film and post it for our edification. you ignorant son of a bitch. if yo' momma could play guitar this good, she wouldn't be so fat. word. but hey, thanks for taking the time out to contribute, steve.

I did it! I've never played guitar before, this is my first ever sang, and you helped me do it. But how do I get my amp to sound like that? Please please tell me!
