After the song American Woman, Are You Gonna Go My Way is our second song from Lenny Kravitz! I first ‘learned’ to play this song on the Guitar Hero Play Station game! Amazing, amazing game console! :)How to play “Are You Gonna Go My Way”
I suppose the hardest part of this riff is the strumming hand. As you can see there’s a lot of string skipping, and you don’t ever play the A string but you do play all the other strings.
Lenny Kravitz and Guns and Roses guitarist Slash attended the same high school.
How to Play Are You Gonna Go My Way Riff
This song has 2 guitar parts playing the main guitar riff pattern. One is playing on the Em pentatonic and the other one is over the A major pentatonic.
The tablature presented in the left is the high octave one.
Take note that this part is played on the 4rth or 3rd bar. On the first bar, the lower octave is played.
To see the complete tablature head on over to Songsterr.com by clicking the image on the left.
On the Em part, the first note is the A note on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string. You then bend it a whole step, release back to A note and pull off to get the G open string/note. This is immediately followed by the open E note on the low E string and also immediately followed by the last two notes on the D string – Open D, followed by the E note, that is the second fret on the D string.
Please watch the video to get a clearer idea of the instruction above. Thanks!
