My students agree that this is one of the easiest, yet most enjoyable beginner guitar lessons that they learn on our website.

Wipe Out has a really energetic drum solo (which is actually a simple drum cadence), which sounds great even by itself, but even more amazing when combined with the electric guitar. Once you can play this song, try playing it with a friend who can play the drums, or use the backing track provided. Many guitarists pick up the bad habit of picking only downwards, which is just bad practice as it limits the speed of your picking, and will make the timing more difficult as well. You’ll be using alternate picking in every song you play, so don’t take it light-heartedly. As you can see, this guitar lesson will give you a chance to practice alternate picking across adjacent strings, which is a skill you MUST master to advance as a guitarist. Wipe Out is a really energetic song that’s pretty easy to grasp hold of. With our guitar tutorial on Wipe Out, you will learn these guitar skills:
