    In this Learn To Fly guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this monster hit by the Foo Fighters in it's entirety.
    Originally released as the debut single from their 1999 album There Is Nothing Left to Lose, "Learn To Fly" quickly became one of the Foo Fighters' signature hits, as it remains to this day.
    The great thing is that from a guitarist's perspective, "Learn To Fly" is a pretty easy song to master. I would say any upper beginner level guitarist and up won't have much trouble with it. That just goes to show you that you don't have to write virtuosic guitar riffs to stand out. The ability to write catchy hooks and melodies will take you much further. :)
    In any case, the opening of the song includes a short octave melody played by Dave Grohl. The most important thing to focus on when playing octaves is the muting of the unwanted strings. If you are unfamiliar with how to properly pay octaves, I will be covering it within the video lesson.
    The verse and the chorus of the song uses very similar chord structures, albeit played with very different dynamics. But you will be able to see just how much mileage you can get out of those chords in the lesson.
    The only other part we will need to learn is the bridge section. This bridge section has quite a bit different feel than the rest of the song. It has darker vibe about it and sounds more aggressive. However, from a playing point of view, it is still just power chords and open position chords so you will probably breeze through it in no time.
    Have fun learning this great track from one of rock biggest bands!
    Carl...

    I proposed to my soon to be wife to this song. It's a long story, but this tune speaks what I cannot find the words to tell her. I was down and she taught me how to fly. So I instead asked her to fly with me forever. I intend to play it at our wedding for her. Thanks for the lesson, it will be great to play this for her.

    Hi Carl, Great lesson! I'm one of your monthly contributors....and with good reason! Sometimes I may go a couple of months without needing your help, but; invariably, when I do, you're there to teach me the song I want to gig. I can't tell your how much I appreciate your meticulous attention to detail! Btw, I became a much better lead guitarist after you taught me Dream On lead guitar work. So, again...thanks. Kind regards, Hooch

    Hi, I play lefty and was wondering if you could help me figure out how to play the chords in the verse? My index finger is all the way at the bottom of the 2nd fret on the 5th string for the first chord in the verse and idk how I would even barre the 1st and 2nd strings in that fret to pick those strings and get the sound that is on the record. Can you offer any type of alternate chord or technique I can use to play that? Ahhh, the life of a lefty guitar player lol..
