Experience your first proper lead guitar line with this simplified version inspired by "Sweet Child of Mine." The lesson introduces basic lead guitar concepts while keeping the technical demands manageable for your current skill level.
Simple lead pattern: using open string and two fretted notes on the D string
Two technique options: separate finger placement vs. sliding for different sounds
Phrasing introduction: how you play notes matters as much as which notes you play
Chord progression practice: D major, Cadd9, and G major with different strumming patterns
Lead and rhythm integration: switching between single notes and chord strumming
The lesson encourages experimentation with different amp settings and effects to hear how they change the character of both the lead line and chord work. This builds your understanding of tone and musical expression.'
