Posted another lesson on strategies for playing piano riffs on guitar. I’ll show you an acoustic arrangement of the piano parts to “Bad Company.” This lesson also introduces drop D-flat tuning, which is Db – Ab – Db – Gb – Bb – Eb (low to high). Eddie Van Halen uses this tuning in “Unchained,” and Zakk Wylde uses it quite a bit, too. And, as you’ll hear in this lesson, it’s a useful tuning for fingerstyle acoustic as well.

Enjoy!
Hi Scott,
I was trying to play Joni Mitchell’s piano riffs from “Woodstock” on my guitar and was getting nowhere until I noticed the “Bad Company” sound and still was getting nowhere until I found your lessons. I haven’t really started yet but I know this is exactly what I was looking for. As soon as I get “Woodstock” under my fingers I’ll be returning to your site for more piano rifffs. I also teach children music theory and look forward to your perspective in this area also.
Thanks,
David
