Learn To Play: Get Trucked

Take the wheel as Olly and Moray show you how to play with conviction and character. Learn every note of Get Trucked and you’ll be fully loaded with licks to steal, riffs to make your own and a stone cold grasp of quintessential rock techniques.

Making this track stand up tall is riff after riff after riff. Packed with the Steele signature wobble, and open string acrobatics, they’re the rocks that make the rhythm that allow the melodies to sing. And as you learn them, you’ll not only uncover the note for note goodness but also gain an understanding of how rhythm and lead can intertwine in a modern setting.

And as you step into the world of the lead, packed with double stop-tastic licks, you’ll see how two different guitarists approach a track. From the fusion vibes that Moray brings to the more metal sided coin of Olly, you end up covering a colossal palette of soloing.

There’s alternate, down, sweep, AND hybrid picking. There’s deadnotes, double stops, palm muting, and all manner of nuances in articulation. The Yngwie style arpeggios go hand in hand with slide vibrato, wide vibrato, outside notes and Bettencourt inspired tapping. All in all, if you learn this track, you not only learn a bunch of killer licks and riffs, but you tighten and broaden your technical tapestry.

To make sure you lock in every second, both Olly and Moray have played each riff and lead section slow. The magic really unfolds across over an hour and a half of note by note, nuance by nuance examining lesson breakdowns, which not only back up the slow videos, but also give you every miniscule detail you could ever want to learn exactly how to play it.

Add to that four variations of backings, drums by the mighty Anup Sastry and a mix from “he of blessed ears” Joel Wanasek, there’s everything you need to get trucking.

This fully stocked Learn to Play release includes 18 slow licks, 8 slow riffs, 16 lessons from Olly on his lead parts, as well as all riffs, and 8 lessons from Moray on every lick he plays. Plus you also get 4 backings, the full music video and tab/notation in GP and PDF form.

Rocking, bopping and overflowing with attitude. Stop reading, start learning, and Get Trucked.
