  • -Guitar Lesson:
    This is a lesson for beginners or mid level students. Here I show you how to play a song in the style of Steppenwolf, rock band from the 1960s and 1970s, formed in California based on the Canadian band Sparrow. Famous were his songs «Magic Carpet Ride» and «Born to Be Wild». I rely on this last song to show you the style of 70's crunch guitars.
