This new Nickelback lessons package includes 5 lessons valued at over $75 Right now we are offering lifetime access to these lessons for a limited time at $37.79 This video lesson series is expertly taught by Neil Hogan.

The Canadian band Nickelback has a unique sound that translates very well to solo acoustic guitar songs. Many of their songs are played in Dropped D Tuning and most use a small number of chord shapes. However, some of the shapes might be new to you and could present a good challenge to master.

Leader Of Men is a Nickelback song from their 2000 album The State. It is done in Dropped D Tuning and really just uses three power chords. This lesson goes into pounding steady eighth notes, a little on palm muting, and then a more advanced segment on syncopated eighth notes as they are done in the introduction.

Far Away is another of Nickelback's tunes done in Dropped D, like many of their songs, but not played in the key of D. It is done 1/2 step low on their album All The Right Reasons, and sometimes 1 step low when played live. This lesson goes over the arpeggio picking that is used in the verses and strumming patterns used in the chorus. The song also makes use of the family of barre chords, commonly used in this tuning.

How You Remind Me is one of Nickelback's earlier hits and came about when Chad Kroeger did some research into elements of a hit song. He seemed to put it together with this one. The song is played in Dropped D Tuning and just uses two chord shapes. That's the good news; the bad news is that they are both full barre chords that must be used all through the song.

Photograph is from Nickelback's album All The Right Reasons and is a good example of a song that uses modified barre chords. These are chords derived from E and A family shapes but played without the barre, leaving the first and second strings open, creating a bit of a droning effect. It also uses a very regular, but syncopated strumming pattern.

Rockstar was also released on All The Right Reasons. It is a basic strumming song on one hand, using a sixteenth note pattern over slow quarter notes, and on the other hand uses a few unusual barre chord forms.
