In this Don't You (Forget About Me) guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this smash hit from Simple Minds in its entirety.
The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.
The guitar parts are pretty simple for this one, so it shouldn't be very difficult for a lower intermediate level player to tackle.
I will cover each section of the song in the order that each of them appears on the original recording. When I used to play this in a top 40 cover band, I would try to recreate the synth chord voicings on the guitar, to make it more closely sound like the track, since it is such a synth driven tune.
However, for this lesson, I have decided to stick with the same chord voicings that Charlie Burchill plays on the original recording. That opening guitar riff is sick!
Have fun learning this great song from Simple Minds! Carl...

Your the Best TEACHER EVER Carl!!!!! Thank You for all you do for us!!! You improved my playing over the years sooo much!!!!
The fact that there was so much guitar in 80’s pop songs is why it was the best pop music of ALL TIME. Bless Carl for taking on another classic 80’s song! 🙌
Such an underrated guitar song. The harmonics and the subtle tremolo is perfection.
the super-muted funky part during the verses really stands out in headphones/earbuds on the remaster - you got it!
You are great at explaining how to get the right sound and infliction when playing the songs you teach! Best guitar teacher on RUclips hands down! By the way, that's saying something considering the number of other great teachers that post videos...but Carl has just the right approach and teaches you not just how to play the songs, but play them accurately! He has something for every level of guitar progression as well! While I'm a complete noob to soloing, I am a lot better at picking and rhythm playing...intermediate or a little better I would say...and his courses are helping me get started soloing while helping my rhythm playing get to the more expert levels I dream of getting to!
Thank you Carl!!!
Brilliant. This is my bands big finish song and you have just tidied up a couple of bits I wasn't quite sure of. Our biggest ever gig next week and this will go down a storm. Going to join as a thank you.
Used this as the big finish to our set at the world superbikes championship at Donnington park. The bits I added from your vid were perfect. It went down a storm. Thanks Carl.
This is awesome especially because I was listening to Billy Idol's version yesterday and thought "would be cool if Professor Brown did a lesson for this one! "
Thank you!
I remember when the original song came out, a lot of people thought it was Billy Idol at first.
@@Lance37a Really? That's interesting! I was like 4 so I don't remember. Just knew it from Breakfast Club lol
Amazing guitar teacher!!! Thanks for everything you do I can always count on you to have a video for a song that I’m trying to learn when no other person does. Thank you
Hey Carl, can you do a lesson on Phantom of the opera by iron maiden?
Carl - Thank you! I found that the strat with clean sound really matches my ears - especially on the 12 th harmonic - sounds like the record to me clean
Can't ever go wrong with any of the 80's songs👍
Great rendition you played it correctly. Thanks
Thank you, sir! Just joining a cover band and learning this one right now. Great lesson here.
I’ve always liked this song. Never realized how cool the guitars are. God bless and thanks for the lesson
This is awesome! I can feel my mullet growing with every chord. Thank you for sharing your talent.
You are the best teacher I've ever come across!!
No clue how to play guitar, but holy hell this sounds so bad ass.
So great to have you back Carl!
Oh yeah sensai back in business ... sweet lesson ... ready for that boot camp for sure ..
How dare you profile Jack carl .. the audacity ... REPORTED
This guy is the best teacher on RUclips
Thanks, Carl for yet another great lesson. Loving your Academy so much. Your alternate picking course is killer! The etudes are super challenging and great fun to play.
Carl love your range and eclectic musical taste as well as your teaching disposition. (Calm, cool and collected). You my brother are truly a special individual. Thanks for sharing!
Achieving creative guitar work in keyboard-based pop music is very much an art form. With all the synth driven music of the 80s, it was a great era for this guitar creativity. Andy Taylor in Duran Duran, Midge Ure in Ultravox, Charlie here in Simple Minds, Jamie West-Oram from The Fixx…all very creative players whose guitar parts really helped to propel the music.
Wow does this one bring back some great memories from the best decade of music ever (imo haha). Great lesson thanks!
Great decade for music for sure, But I was in my late teens, and early 20's in the '60's...now THAT was a decade for music!! Cheers!! :)
Jesus, that tone 😍
Perfect play, even more perfect teaching!
Never lets us down! Supporting your channel!

Great use of the trem bar in this one.
Thank you for a great lesson on my favorite 80s song ever. Now I can play it on my guitar, thanks to you. You obviously took some time and effort to pick it apart live and studio, and you got it perfectly. Thank you again, I have subscribed and will be a regular viewer and student. Let me know if you do Patreon. 👍🎸
Hey Carl. Thanks so much for posting this. Would it be possible to see Don't Look Back by Boston or the solo to Cult of Personality by Living Color?
Very cool thanks
Man that's a nice sound
More 80s alt rock/pop Carl, The Cure would be awesome!!!
I love your keyboard transcriptions! I Iearned your version of Sweet Dreams/Eurythmics quite awhile back and really enjoy playing it. Looking forward to doing the same here.
genius thanks
More 80s Carl! Love it!
Muito obrigado professor. Vc é o melhor.
Thanks Carl !
Thanks so much for so many great lessons!!! Can you please do a lesson on The Boys Are Back In Town? Thanks so much!!!
In the spirit of Simple Minds... can you do a lesson on NO ONE IS TO BLAME by Howard Jones?
Thanks for the reply. What is Telegram?
Great lesson as always!!
No way! I’ve just learnt this off tabs for my first proper live performance at school tomorrow! 😂 could’ve done with this a few weeks ago lol 😂
Very nice!
Could you do "Let it die" by foo fighters? Would really appreciate it!
I’m in love with your guitar sound, great job and great video
Amazing lesson, WOW!
Great video Carl! Your videos are insanely useful. 💯💪
Awesome ! Thank you so much for this !
Gnr ,,,one in a million
Great lesson! More Van Hagar please
Awesome song 🙌
Can’t believe the progress I’ve made from your videos!
Please do the kooks naive Carl!
Chawesome!
Carl, please do a lesson of "Life in Dark Water" by Al Stewart. It has a truly amazing solo.
Hey Carl will you consider doing a lesson for Catch the Rainbow by Rainbow. There are absolutely no lessons for the same and I think even the tabs aren't accurate. Appreciate all your lessons man🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
request: Triumph - Lay it on the Line
Not sure if I'm insane or what but I swear for the first time I'm hearing very similar chord changes in the chorus to this song as Van Halen's Poundcake.
please do revolution is my name by pantera🤘🤘
Could you please tutorial “careless” by Stephen bishop
That lick at 5:15 has a Flesh for Fantasy vibe. I found it coincidental, since Don't You Forget about Me was originally pitched to Billy Idol. Weird.
Great ♥️♥️♥️
Can u do all the fools sailed away by Dio? Very underrated song
Best teacher! Can you do skin o my teeth by megadeth
can you share your reverb, delay type and settings?
Would you consider doing a lesson on let me drown by Soundgarden?
Carl, I hate to ask you this… but could you do some Yngwie Malmsteen stuff?! It’s a daunting task, but a worthwhile one.
It's going to be simple? No pun intended.
Could you do Devils Island by MegaDeth or any other MegaDeth songs?
Have you ever done a lesson on "Stargazer" by Rainbow?
Can you do the devil in I by slipknot?
Charlie strum the intro from E lower to up
Could you please teach Trapped Under Ice by. Metallica pls
you're looking fit Carl
Castles made of sand please. You don’t have any version of this!!
Reminds me of Futurama, the saddest episode, luck of the fryish 🥲
Legal 🎸🎼

Fucking Great!!!!
My buddy worked on 48th St and convinced guitarist from Simple Minds NOT to route out his 60’s Strat with a Floyd Rose!! Disaster averted lol!!!
This is my new karaoke 🎤 song? 😁
Wow, every single commenter on this video won the “surprise giveaway”. What are the odds? 🤔
I know these "telegram" messages are scams and they show up all the time on RUclips but can't they do something about it?
What's up with you Carl? You are losing some weight man.
