You’ll be using basically every lead guitar technique imaginable, which means you’ll get a chance to practice hammer ons, pull offs, string sliding and bending, as well as bar chords during the verse.

Wipe Out

This is a very easy, yet very fun song to play.

I usually recommend our Wipe Out solo lesson to beginner guitarists, since you can basically start learning it from day 1 of picking up the guitar. Of course, you won’t be playing it perfectly without enough practice, but it will teach you a very important technique of playing the guitar, namely alternate picking. If you want to play lead guitar, you’ll need to really master the skill of alternate picking, it’s vital in building your picking speed. If you’re still at the beginning stages of learning the electric guitar, you’ll definitely want to have a go at this popular guitar lesson.
