So you want to learn how to play Muse's New song Survival From their upcoming album Second (2nd) Coming the official Olympics 2012 song!? Well join me for a 2 part guitar tutorial and learn how to play one of the biggest tunes this year! For Free! GUITARIST UNITE! - Post your cover of this song on my video and get featured I and I'm sure a lot of people out there would love to see how you guys do with this awesome Muse Song!<br /><br />For the Rhythm Guitar lesson click here:<br /><br />We will be covering the lead guitar in this lesson and we have a great deal of techniques going on during this tune. Not only do we see a use of some very exotic scales but also tremolo picking, whammy bar tricks, chugging, melodic playing and some fast phrases all thrown in for great effect, it's a real work out on any guitarist looking at improving their technique with some Muse Guitar Licks! I go over the guitar technique quite quickly but do take it at your own pace, re-winding where necessary as all parts are played at approx half speed<br /><br />As a note The original "survival" song by Muse was recorded on a guitar tuned down a half step (To Eb) However I have taught this in standard tuning to make things a little easier for you. The first part of this song is an orchestral arrangement. My lesson begins at the piano part that enters which we can mimic on the guitar<br /><br />Here is a brief run-down of the chords and lead guitar structure if you would like to strum along - or use the lesson to play it "as it is" on the track
