I loved seeing Aerosmith live at Download festival in 2010 and again in 2017. Steve Tyler has to be one of the greatest rock frontmen of all time, and Joe Perry is one of my favourite guitarists! I've stolen so many of his lead licks, I try to emulate him so often in my improvisation.
In the tutorial, I'll start by showing you the main riff. It can be played in a very easy way! The verse riff is much harder, sorry about that. But the chorus riff is worth watching the tutorial till the end for I promise!
But, if you struggle with anything here, definitely check out my Electric Guitar Starter Course, which will take you through all the basics of electric guitar playing in this style!
