Wanted (Dead Or Alive)- Bon Jovi
Difficulty: Easy – Intermediate
The song is meant to be played on a 12-string, but you can still play it on your standard acoustic. Also note that there are a few times that you would technically need an electric for the lead guitar, but again you can play this song using only your acoustic. You just may have to alter a few tiny techniques to make it work. (Such as the tremolo dive, a FEW harmonics, etc.)

Creep 1
You’ll be repeating this 8 measure chord progression throughout the entire song.
The basic chord progression is G, B, C, Cm, but we’ll throw in a couple of suspended chords with the B and C chords that really add color. During the chorus, it’s played a bit differently, but the underlying chord progression stays the same.
Norwegian Wood- The Beatles (Main Riff)
Black Dog- Led Zeppelin
Blue Wind- Jeff Beck
This riff is in 4/4 time except for the 2nd measure in which we switch to 2/4 time (only 2 beats).
Notice that the 4th measure mirrors the 1st measure, but with the addition of bends. This is a typical Jeff Beckism. It may be tricky to get it to sound right because it relies on precise bending.

In this lesson, we’ll learn the 2nd half of the intro riff that we started in our previous lesson.
If you had trouble with the previous lesson, rest assured, the two measures from this half are actually easier than the previous 2 measures. That’s good news, right?
In the first measure. we’ll be forming a Fmaj7 chord. Use your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret of the D, 2nd finger for the 2nd fret of the G, and 1st finger for the 1st fret of the B string. The high E will be picked open. This chord formation lasts the entire measure, too. The picking pattern is slightly different, too.
