  • In this video I demonstrate how to play Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. This was a #1 smash hit from 1986 off the album Slipper When Wet. It was written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child. This song personifies Bon Jovi and the powerhouse pop metal that made then famous. It's a great song to learn with some excellent guitar riffs and a very melodic band rocking guitar solo. I demonstrate all the parts and provide hand written tabs on how to execute the parts, as well as provide performance tips and suggestions. I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe!

    I’m a Lonely Rocker, never played in a band and now that I’m getting older I regret not trying harder to jam with others. I enjoy your lessons and tab, thank you.

      ​@@johnnyelvisAsk around your local guitar shop. I also play twice a week with an unlikely group at a church. Make no mistake about it these guys absolutely Rock. I get to play pretty hard much of the time solos and everything, for a good reason too man. ✝️ These guys all play in Classic Rock bands, I bring my 80s flare into it. Never heard this at a place of worship before, just what I needed. 😁👍🏻

      @@johnnyelvis The church actually had seeked me out. I started rehearsing with them, I started playing live quietly with them just playing chords til I got comfortable. Now I play mostly leads, I thought that I was going to get thrown out for drifting into my style. Turns out that everyone really likes it. Good luck brother. 💪🏻😁🎸

      Thanks so much for the kind words man! Yeh, I just leave it all in there ... I mean we're human. I think it's important to get parts accurate and precise, and definitely practice your butt off to get there. But we're human and part of the beauty of playing are the little hiccups and human elements. Sometimes I think we live in a world where stuff is to massaged and perfect musically (from an editing perspective).
