What you will learn
Girlfriend was recorded by Matthew Sweet on the 1991 album of the same name. In this iVideosongs guitar lesson, instructor Rob Schumann shows you how to play both guitar parts from this upbeat blues-based jam. Along with the song's rhythm guitar part featuring a 16th note-based groove, the lead guitar solo and fills are thoroughly instructed as well as all guitar overdubs. Girlfriend features a wealth of rock/blues techniques and ideas that are a great addition to any intermediate-level guitarist's soloing vocabulary. This song is played on multiple electric guitars in Down a Half Step Tuning. Tablature and chord grids are embedded in the video for all song segments along with a full song performance in sync with the backing track.
