In this set of lessons, Tony Lee will teach “Black Hole Sun”, by Soundgarden. Tony will talk about the song and the gear and tones, then break down the intro parts before teaching the verse. The chorus guitars follow, then the rhythm for the solo and the massive solo itself. We’ll learn the last chorus and outro, then do full and single guitar play along performances. We’ll finish up with a jam along where you take over.

Hi all, this is Tony for Guitar Tricks and today we are going to learn one of the best alternative rock songs ever written: “Black Hole Sun”, as made famous by Soundgarden. In this song you are going to hear the perfect blend of classic effects with a modern rock feel. We are going to start by tuning the low E string down to D, not because we are going to do the one finger metal chug, but because we are going to make some really interesting chords using the drop D tuning. We’re in 4/4 time (with an occasional bar of 2/4), in the key of G, at a tempo of 52 BPM.

To play this song on just one guitar, start with guitar 1 for the intro. Play guitar 2’s part for the verses, switching to guitar 1 for the choruses. Play guitar 2 for the solo and post-solo breakdown, then guitar 1 the rest of the way.
