Day 4 - Bonus Lesson - Can't Always Get What You Wan't Electric Lead In Standard
In this video
This bonus lesson covers the electric guitar lead parts for the ending section of Can't Always Get What You Want, all played in standard tuning over the looped chord progression.
What You Will Learn:
How to play over C7 to F chord changes
C major pentatonic licks (the "Don't Look Back in Anger" scale)
C minor pentatonic for bluesy contrast
Country-influenced licks at frets 15-17
Double-stop chord tone targeting
Switching between rhythm and lead seamlessly
The Chord Progression
When the band kicks in, the progression moves to C7 and F major. The C7 chord changes the flavour significantly, opening up both major and minor pentatonic possibilities.
The Country-Influenced Lick
A signature Keith Richards lick uses frets 15 to 17 on string 2, sliding between chord tones of C7 and F. This very country-sounding phrase (reminiscent of John Fogerty) demonstrates how Keith blends blues and country influences.
Weaving Practice
The key skill here is constantly moving between rhythm (playing the chords) and lead (playing licks) – never staying in one role too long. This prepares you for the more advanced weaving techniques later in the course.
