(Everything I Do) I Do It For You Guitar Lesson - Bryan Adams

In this (Everything I Do) I Do It For You guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of the guitar chords for this smash hit by Bryan Adams in addition to teaching you how to play that amazing guitar solo note-for-note.

About the tuning, I will be teaching this lesson in standard tuning in the key of C major, like Bryan Adams usually performs it live. However, the original recording was a half-step higher (Db major). If you want to use the chords I show you in this lesson to play along with the original recording, you will need to place a capo at the 1st fret and shift all the chords and solo up one fret as well. That should be pretty easy to do once you get the chords down. You just need to visualize the capo as now being the same as the open strings.

In any case, there are some great chord progressions to learn in this one. For many of the chords, there is a C bass note that is maintained. This creates a very cool and original sounding effect.

I will take you through the chords of each section of the song in the order that they appear. There will be a few bar chords to contend with, but nothing that is very difficult for the upper beginner level player. I will save the solo for the end of the lesson.

The guitar solo is one of my personal favorites. It is hard to imagine a solo that fits the underlying music more perfectly. There is some tricky little licks in it as well, especially the delicate vibrato bar work.

I will demonstrate how to play the solo phrase-by-phrase to make it as easy to memorize as possible.

Have fun learning this classic ballad from Bryan Adams!

Amazing how such a simple song musically, can be so emotional. Bryan Adams was such a killer songwriter.

Carl - your passion for music & guitar is matched by the perfection in your delivery on the instrument. Add to that your ability to break down the theory into a usable process, start to finish, and you easily are one of 3 music instructors I trust. Thank you for the work you do on our behalf.

thanx for doing this video bro been waitin for someone to do this and include the solo portion, dude u rock!! Im 40 and totally new to guitar and ur videos are great.

[SmorgasLord]

This solo, with really cranked up sustain and distortion; it soars.

[EleisonUA]

Thanks for an enormous work you do, man!
I know u've got a lot of Metallica song on your playlist, but could you do smth like Morotbreath one day? Would be awesome.

Hey Carl, I was noticing and suspecting the compression thing on the solos on this song, too. Cuz you can't really hear the attack of the pick most of the time, and it's a really soft sound. How might one recreate this? Maybe a fast attack, fairly quick release, then compress the hell out of it? He has an even more "liquidy" tone on "Please Forgive Me." Crazy cool lead tone. Would love to know how he accomplished that.

[danielfromsweden]

Hello there. Great lesson. I`m not a electric guitarist, but wonder about the chords I can play at the solo you showed.

I just to play in D, but here`s C, right?

And one more question, can you set the solochord for the last part, as he singing at the record from "So far so good" 1993, while he sings this part:

"Everything I do and done. I would see it through,

I would see it through, oh yeah.

Yeah!! Look into you heart, Told you so. You can`t tell me it worked out for.

O Yeah. I`ll be Solo I wonder why.

yeah. Every time. I`m going all the way, all the wa-ay.

Every time,

Would like to appreciate it very much.
Thank`s in advanced.
