I get to play approximately 2 hours a night after they are in bed. I have 2 young daughters and of course I work all day. I have never had a guitar lesson in my life, I can’t read a lick of music and I’m either too lazy or too impatient to fumble through tablature. I just want to say that you are a Godsend! I have been “playing” (for lack of a better word) the guitar since I was about 18 and I’m 48 now. If these free lessons help you, please donate to keep new ones coming daily. Have fun with this modern rock classic by Volbeat!

The outro of the song consists of a melodic guitar solo which is probably one of the easiest solos Volbeat has ever recoded. You will hear this section a couple times within the song with the only difference being the very end of the harmony guitar part. There is a cool muted groove riff a little later in the song that leads into a quick harmony guitar part. The verse and chorus sections are much easier to play so they probably won't give you much trouble since they are pretty straightforward. This double-time section contains 3 separate riffs back-to-back, so I will break each one down individually. I would say this section is definitely the most challenging section of the entire song. I will show you the strumming pattern used at the beginning, then the simplified version he plays when the vocals come in.įrom there the band launches into a scorching double-time section that requires the ability to play rapid downstroke muted rhythms.

'Still Counting' starts with a tight clean tone rhythm using basic bar chords. That would make the tuning, starting from the 6th string, D G C F A D. The tuning I am using in this video lesson and that was used on the original recording is one whole-step down for every string on the guitar. In this Still Counting guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of this modern rock hit by Volbeat note-for-note.
