    Learn how to play American Woman, as performed by The Guess Who released in March 1970. Super interesting guitar arrangement with an acoustic open tuning section at the front, and 3 guitar electric arrangement with two tremolo effect "cleaner" guitars providing the main rhythm complimented with a great fuzz tone style guitar on lead.
    The lesson covers all acoustic and electric parts, rhythm and lead.

    Love this lesson and your teaching! I never listened to the tune before like this. Makes you appreciate just how great Randy Bachman is. How I wish my hands and fingers weren't so afflicted with psoriatic arthiritis making it so hard to play these days now that I'm retired and have the time to learn these great tunes of my youth.

    Seen a bunch of folks try this sort of thing on RUclips. Nobody nails the stuff better or conveys is more clearly than you. I'm considering your Patreon page - not just for the tabs and resources, but the headscratching you've prevented so far with just a few YT videos is worth it! Keep 'em coming!

    When I heard this song and asked the guy who played it who was the band and he told me guess who, I spent 15 minutes wracking my brain trying to guess who it was! True story

    The two guitarists used to switch parts. Sometimes Randy and Garry would take turns between rhythm and lead. Both could play each other’s parts. As for guitars used there was a strat, SG, and 335. Used at least in the early 70’s

    Great song choice - always loved this song. Quite simple to play but it's all about in the execution and the attitude. I've always slapped the strings just like you do, it makes it more percussive and pushes the song rhythm. A good lesson. I never bothered with the acoustic intro - I didn't get the connection(?) with the main song. That solo is soooo good.
    I used to always think it was a keyboard that gave the wobble/tremolo sound, but you showed me otherwise! Love it. Keep up all the good lessons ... and the nice guitars on show.

    Prior to RUclips we spent far too much time playing about having no clue certain songs used open tunings. Also - shame on the band that was engaging as the Guess Who with no original members. Buyer beware.
