How to Play "Pretender" on the Guitar

Video Transcript

"JOE WILES: Comin' in at number 21 is "Pretender" by the Foo Fighters, let's take a look. All right the staple of this introductory riff is our pinky on the 10th fret of the B string. We're going to put our ring finger on the 10th fret of the D string and our middle finger on the 9th fret of the G string, okay, keep that in place. Now to start it off we're going to add our index finger on the 7th fret of the high E string. And we're just going to hit all these five strings in a row from A to high and back down. Okay. We'll take our index finger, go to the 7th fret on the low E string, 8th fret, open A string, after that we're going to answer--we're going to bend this 9th fret on the A string--down to the 8th fret--then answer again. This time we're going to go all the way from all the way back down leaving our high E string open. In context slowly, all that sounds like this. And that'll conclude this, our third segment series in the top 80 most downloaded internet guitar tabs. I hope you'll join me next time. We'll be counting down from number 20 all the way to 1. I'll see you there, bye."
