How to Play "Seventeen" by Winger on Guitar

Hey, this is Joe Wiles, with the Rock and Roll Conservatory, for Expert Village. We're going to tackle one of the lamest songs in rock and roll. Coincidentally, it happens to be one of the coolest rifts in rock and roll as well. So that's why we're going to do it. It's Wingers Seventeen, and let's take a look. First thing we're going to do is drop down a half step, make sure your guitar sounds like this. OK, we're going to open it up with an open E and then A string seventh fret which is also an E, OK. Then we're going to start skipping around on the G and B strings. On the G string we're going to be on the ninth fret. On the B string we're going to be on the tenth, OK. It's going to go, our movements are all going to be on the B string. So it's, nine - ten, nine - nine, nine - seven, and then hit that one again and hammer back onto the nine. Like that. We're going to slide this a little bit down two frets. OK? We're on the seven - seven, seven - seven, sliding up to the eight and back to the seven. OK, so far here we are. (Plays) From here we're going to go down to the fifth fret of the D and the G string. We're going put it on there and hammer off. Then we're going to do a two finger power chord, third fret of the low E, fifth fret of the A string, slide it up two and start the whole ball of wax over again. Sounds like this. (Plays) To speed, it sounds like this. (Plays) Alright that's going to wrap up our Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the Eighties video segments. I hope you had a good time, I hope you learned something. If you'd like to, check out my other videos. And you take it easy. Have a good day.
