Whitesnake - Is This Love Guitar Lesson

Показать описание

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 Is This Love guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this legendary ballad by Whitesnake it its entirety.

The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.

Is This Love is co-written by guitarist John Sykes, and he performed all of the guitar parts on the original recording.

There is quite a lot going on in this song guitar-wise. Many of the rhythm guitar parts are layered and there is a lot of harmony guitar work all of over the place as well.

In the transcription that I will teach in this lesson, I will try to organize everything to be played by just a couple of guitar players. So we won't be covering every harmony line, just the top harmony line and stuff like that.

John Sykes' main guitar solo is simply amazing. It incorporates highly melodic phrases, interesting arpeggio shapes and a couple of fast licks that make it a favorite of 80's hard rock fans. I will take you through the entire solo note-for-note. :)

Have fun learning this classic ballad from Whitesnake! Carl...

No way! I’ve been waiting for this forever! Arguably the best 80’s night driving song and Sykes is an extremely underrated guitarist.

The first song I played with a solo after 2 years of learning guitar. I play it a different way but Sykes played it differently live all the time. Sometimes he was the only guitar player when he's singing it. John Sykes is my favorite guitar player. Thought 1987 (was 16 at the time) was a masterpiece in my eyes. I didn't start playing guitar until my 40's though. "Still of the Night" I've been working on for years. A lot going on there. I saw Whitesnake in 1990 (Steve Vai & Vandenberg) and they played 1987 and 1989 albums in their entirety. I so wanted to see Sykes, thought he would come back...never happened.

Its one thing to teach me how to play its an added bonus to introduce me to things Ive never heard before. Really influences me to broaden my horizons on what I play.
