In this Lonely Is The Night guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this great song from Billy Squier note-for-note!
The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.
Some really cool guitar parts in this one! From the instantly recognizable intro, to the classic main riff and more, I will take you through each section of the song in the order that each appears on the original recording.
The rhythm guitar work is pretty simple, so getting those awesome riffs down shouldn't be much trouble for most players.
However, things get quite a bit more challenging at the guitar solo. I will take you through this solo note-for-note. It is a great study in blues based rock guitar soloing.
Have fun with this classic! Carl...

It’s kind of weird that you rarely here anything about Billy. He is a vastly underated guitarist that came up with some really catchy riffs.

Carl you are the man. Single handily kept me playing this past year with constant content and so many previous videos. I’ve progressed so much and can now do techniques I never thought possible thanks to your easy to follow videos! Keep shredding everybody only gets more fun.

Thanks Carl - you're one of the best out there for lessons - appreciate all the work you do!!

I remember seeing Billy Squire at Biloxi, Coliseum opening for Foreigner Sept.22, 1981 as a young teen! He played all his hits and I REALLY remember “The Stroke” lit the Coliseum “Alive”!#BillySquire#MyKindofLover#TheStroke#LonelyistheNight#FenderStrat#🎸🔥🤘🏻

[@jamisonc7500]

Nice request academy member! Billy Squier had some great guitar lines! The Stroke is another great one 🙌

Great video. Always loved this song.

Squier was a staple at a bar I frequented a lot in my youth. He definitely has some awesome Riffs. As an odd request, I'd love to see a tutorial on The Ballad of Jayne. Thanks for all you do.

[@markfrye4723]

Always love me a little Billy Squier. He was the first concert I ever went to he was opening for queen back around 1980 maybe?

[@francoamerican4632]

I saw him open for Queen in Oakland CA in the early eighties, most likely the same tour. Squier and Queen put on great performances. There was an opening band but I can't remember who it was.

[@bondalero0074]

It was 9-22-1981 for me at Biloxi Coliseum, Ms. Coast as a young teen was my first concert too & I still have the ticket stub with him opening for Foreigner!#80’sMagic#FenderStrat✨#Squire🔥#🎸❤️🤘🏻@markfrye4723

Hey Carl. Could you consider on doing tutorials on some Nick Drake sogs? He's a very unpopular acoustic guitar player, as far as I know, but his songs are very beautiful: Riverman, Things Behind the Sun, Chime of the City Clock....
