What you will learn
Rock This Town was recorded by Stray Cats on the 1982 album Built for Speed. In this iVideosongs guitar lesson, instructor Steve Rieck shows you how to play the complete guitar part from this early 80's hit. Along with rhythm parts from the verse and chorus sections of the song, Steve also thoroughly demonstrates and explains both guitar solos. Rock This Town is a good challenge for intermediate-level guitarists as it creatively incorporates many rhythm guitar concepts along with lead guitar techniques such as bending, hammer-ons, and slides. This song is played on an electric guitar in standard 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.
