Hello Everyone!

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.

Carrie is a 1987 hit single and power ballad by the Swedish hard rock band Europe and appears on their album ‘The Final Countdown’. It was written by frontman Joey Tempest and keyboardist Mic Michaeli.

The lesson takes a look at the acoustic version as performed, for example, on their ‘Live From The Dark’-DVD. It features Joey accompanying himself on an acoustic guitar.

It covers the progression, which involves many chord changes, 5 basic chords in the key of G, the strumming at the speed of 16th’s, the ‘Wish You Were Here’-fill in the interlude and how he dresses it up a bit.

The lesson is presented in standard tuning, as performed on the original recording, but on stage the guitar is tuned down a half step.

Enjoy this level 3 lesson!

I have to admit that I am digging the hair band power ballads... B)

I know it is not the technical and classic stuff that most folks like, but for any of us who grew up in the 70's and 80's it brings back some good memories. Thanks for this lesson, Ness.

Ah that's great to hear MJ! :cheer:

And really, I've had quite a lot of response for doing 80's songs. TG is certainly not all 50+ students. ;) And since Target is filled with a few life times worth of 60's and 70's songs, there is more than enough room and also interest for 80's and 90's. And of course the current century as wel. :laugh:

Oh and I'm not done yet! :)

Thanks Jason, see you soon! :woohoo:
