Guitartricks - How to Play - I Alone (Live)

Mike will show you the single guitar layer that alternates between clean and crunch while playing the rhythm throughout the arrangement. He'll show you the barre chords and open chords, syncopation, and dynamics that make this a fun song to learn and play.

The tune kicks off right into a quiet verse section with a laid back, introspective mood using a simple I, V, IV progression. A mix of barre chords and open strings add a nice atmospheric touch.

The chorus section is loud and bombastic with some full out chordal riffing. The tune also features a bridge section that starts quiet then builds to a climax.

Tune your guitar down one half step to play along with this tutorial.

In the following lessons, we'll talk about barre chords and open chords, syncopation, and dynamics. We are in the key of G major, with a 4/4 time signature, at a tempo of 90 BPM.
