Everlong Tutorial

Everlong

By Instrument

Drums

Mackey, keep it simple and steady for now. Work toward the fast 16th hand alternation diligently at home, but just go for an 8th note right hand for first month or so. Build up that tempo with a metronome.

Use my tempo ladder.

Guitar

Drop D tuning -- DADGBe

Will, you will be playing the interlude melody I was playing last week, which I have not yet posted those shapes.

 VERSE
 Guitars play same riff twice
