    Hey gang! Well, finally! If I'm not mistaken, there wasn't a tutorial for this fantastic and underrated solo to My Sharona by Burton Averre and The Knack on UA-cam. Well, there is now.
    Hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck with it! Hope it's clear.
    Cheers, Kelly

    That solo fits the song like a glove. In the same way Hotel California’s or Stairway to Heaven’s or Freebird’s does.

    As a teen when this song came out I remember the impact of this guitar solo on me. None of my friends thought anything of it so I figured I was over zealous. Now listening to your comments I feel validated. Ha! Now I’m off to learn it now. Thanks KDA!

      The full solo was left off the radio edit, so unless you had the album it could easily pass you by.

    The greatest and most underrated guitar solo of all time. Agreed. Melodic! Quirky! Speedy! Excellent picking technique. A great part of the song. I was in Navy boot camp in 1979 in Orlando Florida and this song was all over the radio when I transferred to "A" school after basic.

    You're absolutely right? I used to love hearing that song In the seventies. especially the solo man. It just got you pumped up Loving the guita solo then all of a sudden you noticed they take the lead guitar out. The best part of the whole Song. And you explained it. explains it. I always wondered why they cut parts of songs out because of radio time. How does that even make sense and then base? And I want to thank you so much for teaching this perfectly. I'm gonna start falling you. God-bless man.

    Part of that guitar solo 12:45 was a little ahead of it's time in 1978-79. That kind of pattern wasn't common for guitarists until in 82.

      @deltalima5806 Рік тому

      Right on. I also use 10s. Been playing with the NYXLs but normally EBs. I have a hard time with this solo because the fast interchanging picking patterns on the highs are really hard for me to visualize and then play. Idk

    know nothing about musical theory but thought that power chord from this song was supposed to be an f#? But then when I looked up the key of this song, the interwebs told me it was in the key of C which means no sharps.

    That slide up into the the riff is a half step not a whole step ...you do not play an F - use a F# ... just saying.
