Poison - Fallen Angel Guitar Lesson

Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this Fallen Angel guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this fun track from Poison note-for-note.

The tuning is Eb standard tuning. That is, starting from the 6th string, Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

I will cover each riff of the song in the order that each appears on the original recording. Along the way, I will also cover any short solos or fills that C.C. DeVille plays throughout the song.

I will then break down C.C.'s main solo note-for-note. This is a nice melodic solo that fits the music perfectly. It also contains some challenging licks as well!

Have fun learning this great 80's rock classic! Carl...

OMG CARL I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS! Poison was the first and only true rock band I was allowed to listen to as a kid and the first one I saw in concert. This was always my favorite song and you’ve fulfilled my dream of being able to play it! Thank you X1000 Carl!

80s hair metal was special because of the catchiness and the melody, and CC had it all for sure.

[williamcharlesschneider]

CC Deville doesn’t get enough credit, his licks and melodies are absolutely killer 🤘

[johannschultz]

How can something sound so cool from just 5 chords: G-C-D and Em and Dmaj triad?

Goddammit, rockn roll forever.

[WallyBoots]

Love this! More Poison please. CC Deville is such an underrated player.

[danieljordan]

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. I’m older & don’t have the time to sit for hours figuring it all out. I’ve waited for a long time for someone to do all the Van Halen, this tune & shot in the dark by ozzy like you have. Keep em comin & we appreciate you!

[jasonmccloud]

I love C.C's playing!! As a kid he's the one that mad me want to play guitar, and want a B.C Rich!!!

[danlam]

Thank you Carl! This is where it all started for me, eight years old rocking to Poison, didn't know anything about Zeppelin and VH yet. They don't get much respect, but this song still holds up. Good memories, great lesson.

[EverettVernon]

Always breathe a sigh of relief when I see you have a lesson for the song I’m looking for

[theconcerned]

Tesla's Love Song would be killer . with the intro of course. thanks Carl.

[FrenchHawk]

One of the most beautiful pieces of guitar work from the 80s. It's perfect in every way possible. CC Deville gets his credit as being one of the best from the 80s, but he's still very underrated. Unfortunately, Poison couldn't find a way to adapt to the 90s like other bands did. CC never stopped being a great guitar player. And to think he did this beautiful piece of work out of his mind on alcohol and heroin.

These tutorials are getting longer and longer, love it

[crystalbernal]

Cc deville is definitely up there among the gods of guitars! Arguably the best there is!

[Terrysoddy]

Carl your an awesome guitarist, and a great patient guitar teacher. I know it ain’t easy. I appreciate everything you do on YouTube, you have really helped me a lot. THANKS

[davekohlman]

You hear and include the subtleties in the music others don’t hear…those colourations that don’t get included anywhere else. Thanks for the lesson. 🤘🙏❤️

[fredspear]

Man, I so appreciate your videos. To learn all the nuances of these songs must take you a lot of time. I would never be able to learn songs like this without videos like this. Thanks man. You are a legend.

Carl Brown is one of the best at teaching tab to people. I'm 43 and have been playing since I was 12 years old. I have ADD bad my mom thought I wouldn't be able to learn Gutiar cause of my ADD but proved her wrong. And teaching people songs I'm so relaxed when they get frustrated

[ficothecroatianrocker]
