My friends! Today I’ll teach you how to play Duane Eddy’s 1958 classic Rebel Rouser – a tune that's been requested by many of you in the past couple years. This is a song I listened to on repeat back in the 1900s (as my kids would say), when it was featured on the Forrest Gump soundtrack. Thirty years later, here I am finally learning it on guitar. Life is like a box of chocolates, indeed!

This one is quite fun to learn. Relatively few parts to worry about, but just when you get comfortable — things get tricky and switch keys. And then switch keys again… and once more after that. The riff follows the key changes, moving up in key by 1/2 step each time. This can be a lot to juggle at first — but fear not, as I'll walk you through it step by step.

In addition to my main video lesson, I have a few bonus items to help you out — including a full playthrough with tabs, as well as a play-along video jam track. Practice notes are available as well, which include a few fun challenges (e.g. playing the riff entirely on the 6th string). Get all this extra good stuff over at [ Ссылка ]

Enjoy! -DP
