Run To You by Bryan Adams

I break down Run To You by Bryan Adams — one of those songs that's more interesting to play than people give it credit for.

I cover:

• The intro riff — E minor 7 picking across strings 6, 5 and 4, sliding up to an A sus 4 shape, with the exact string pattern broken down

• Chord progression — capo second fret, cowboy chords (same shapes as Wonderwall), with a D to D sus 4 move in the pre-chorus

• Strumming pattern — down down up down up down up for the pre-chorus section

• Two guitar parts — how the rhythm and lead parts work together in the pre-chorus

• The electric riff — F sharp at the 9th and 11th fret, the octave-up version, and the full intro lead line broken down

• Tone — a run through using a Rockman 80s pedal to nail that classic Bryan Adams sound
