How To Play Don't Stop Believin' By Journey - Journey Guitar Lesson - Neal Schon
Рет қаралды 25,484
3 ай бұрынIn this video I demonstrate how to play the song Don't Stop Believing' by Journey. This is one of the most iconic songs written by Journey and is off the album Escape. Some would say this is one of the most iconic classic rock songs of all time. From the memorable piano intro, to Steve Perry's perfect voice and Neal Schon's soaring guitar work, this song is a sonic masterpiece. Neal Schon's plays some really fiery and tasty parts in this song. He combines blistering lead work with memorable melodic bends blended with a wonderful tone and his signature phrasing. In this lesson I break down the guitar parts and provide an in depth explanation on what I do to achieve the closest sound and feel appropriate for the song. I hope you enjoy the video.

Being a big Rush fan, when l learned this song, it only took me a few minutes. I already had everything l needed filed away under The Spirit of Radio. They're so similar. If you can play one, you can play the other...

Awesome, really glad I stumbled onto your site while searching Mean Street. I also love Neal's playing ever since I discovered him decades ago when he was 17 with Santana.

Great lesson, I really love to hear Neal Schon. Neal Schon, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen and Tony Iommi are the guitarist's that really made me want to pick up a guitar. But Neal Schon has been,or was really underrated, think folks that really listen to him, can hear this man's talent. Thanks for this lesson.

This song was actually written by the producers of that teen singing show. Remember the one where the had all the jocks, special ed, losers, and home ec people join together and sing in the Gym? Remember, the one that had the hot chick that liked the sensitive guy? They were the people that wrote the song. Journey just covered it on their tours to help sell extra seats. Journey even had the hot chick show up to teach them how to play the parts.

It's a 6/3 in person played on the piano. The tone needs to be clean on a guitar when playing it that low. It sounds better up on the 11th fret A string
