Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick has offered up a “free and easy guitar lesson whilst we languish in self-quarantine limbo.”
So in case you were ever wondering the way Rick plays the band’s classic, “Surrender,” now you can learn.
“For over forty years at least once a month other bands or musicians, some well known, most are not, (YET) will treat me with their version of how they’ve learned the song “Surrender” which is flattering, but 9 times outta 10, it sounds kinda funny to me, so I usually either try to correct their rendition or I’ll suggest, you wanna know how I play “Surrender”? It’s simple but….thanks it’s great that you know it and you’ve learned it, maybe not wrong but let’s try my simpler way of playing.”
