First, as you're following along and playing through the parts, you'll notice that there is a lot going on, but most of the actual guitar parts are quite simple. Learning the parts and experimenting with the recommended effects will help you discover the puzzle method to arranging guitar parts within a song. Nothing is complicated, but fits together in a certain way to pass as a whole.Disclaimer: Hehe! Since several unconventional recording, mixing, and editing techniques were used in the process of creating this song, what you hear on the tracks themselves may not sound exactly like what is coming out of your guitar, or what is notated in the supplemental content section. The parts as notated for this lesson are suggestions for closely replicating what you hear on the recording and generally what I play when the song is performed live.
Second, there are a lot of sections, and transitions in this song. This song shows you how to link different ideas together that, if you were not listening to them within the context of the same song, you might not think they were related at all. As you are figuring out your own new licks or riffs, you never know what they all might add up to.
Third, this song was produced and recorded with only two real instruments-- voice and guitar. The rest was programmed or played with keyboards. It is my hope that this song will inspire you to take the tools available to you and be creative with your own music. Enjoy the lesson!

About Chris Liepe
View Full Biography
Chris Liepe was born on September 17th, 1981 in Portland OR. His first instrument was piano which he pursued until discovering his love for the electric guitar in high school. He became fans of such groups as Soundgarden, Collective Soul and U2 inspiring him to start singing, songwriting and helping others in their musical endeavors with teaching, co-writing and album production.
Having moved to Colorado with his family, he began gigging, recording and teaching in a number of music stores as well as out of his apartment until deciding to pursue music full time. He moved to Denver, CO to complete a Bachelors in Music Technology and was then hired on by Sweetwater Productions, a division of Sweetwater Sound and one of the largest, most successful recording studios in the Midwest.
Chris spent nearly 4 years at Sweetwater as a producer, recording engineer, studio musician and writer. During this time he had the privilege of working with many artists including Augustana, Landon Pigg, Jars of Clay, and Mercy Me. He also wrote for and played on numerous independent albums and hundreds of radio/TV commercials.
Wanting to get back to his favorite State in the world (Colorado) and feeling the urge to 'go freelance', Chris moved to Greeley, CO and opened his own recording and teaching studio. He continues to write and produce music for artists and agencies and is happy to be among the proud JamPlay.com instructors.

"I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!

"With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
