I'm a little bit frustrated. I invested a lot of time searching for the August 2011 issue so that I may have the "full...lesson tabs" (see Guitar World's video description). Now that I have the issue, I can't find anything at all except for in the magazine's table of contents. There it says that the issue includes this video content. A footnote of sorts then says that the video content has moved online (no longer on CD). It seems that there is no "lesson tab". :(

[@Marko-]

Doug is amazing!!!

[@Helmer2]

Doug´s one of the coolest guitarists around...great lesson btw.

[@icecube0606]

Shit, I remember when I first heard the song. The intro riff hit me like a ton of bricks. Such a great guitar tone, and a damn good song

[@icecube0606]

@raxxalexx correction: he's using a majic (thats how its spelled) box rocket fuel. its an overdrive pedal with an added boost channel. Supposedly he engages both the overdrive and boost channels to get that tone

[@EvaSlash]

thank guitar world for posting us how to play songs from the pros!! not some jabroni off of youtube who sux!!!

[@Geletemol]

Doug will set you free

[@angrairon]

so so crazy.wonderfull song.

[@j12elliott]

Its Whitesnake folks they do what they do.........great guitars and sappy love lyrics.....

[@marianoper2776]

Un verdadero genio! (...a real genius!).

[@brandon5881]

@EvaSlash I agree. Tablature is of only limited help. But, it would have been of /some/ help. I wouldn't have to have been looking so hard to determine exactly what he is playing. Besides that, it's the principle of the thing. I went through significant trouble to find and purchase the issue only to find that they weren't really offering the tablature.

[@Renannuness]

This guitar is so bealtiful '-'

[@akshay681186]

This is so strange to watch cuz I've met with him in person and we've chilled backstage at a rock festival :D

[@EvaSlash]

@brandon5881 i dont think tabs would be much help because this riff is a real pain in the ass to play and really get sounding well. The song is in A minor and the main riff in the beginning is strictly based off A minor Pentatonic if that is any help you at all. the structure of the song is pretty basic but the real hard part is making it sound really fkng awesome like doug.

[@415spitfire]

y como no me va a gustar!! si es un temazo!

[@fmbighair]

Is this. A white snake song? Harmonically gives off a zz cheap sunglasses vibe, might even be same key.

[@EvaSlash]

i was just figuring out this riff and noticed he is fretting a fourth interval with his pinky and doing all the slides. how the hell does he do it with his pinky? must be made of steel. it looks like his pinky is bending but mine does not

[@pjmoreau]

@mgdth502 agree on all points. doug is the best thing to happen to WS since sykes...sorry, vai etc just didnt fit what whitesnake is about...cheers PS saw them 2 x this summer. reb roxx too

[@xxguitardude93xx]

You gonna show us that solo Doug??

[@ShredForth]

@EvaSlash i bet he can because he seems to make a concious effort to use it all the time...................scales, riffs everything.........

[@phenixreturns]

his chords are not usual chords

[@93101008647]

amazing tone *-*

[@TheRammlied]

I fuckin' love you Doug!!!

[@georgiegirlrocks]

don't play guitar, but fancy doug so much!

[@raxanci]

@raxxalexx I think he using an classic Boss DS1.

[@fastra3621]

Spider fingers himself... awesome!!!

[@216trixie]

@raqugo123 Could be the Les Paul he's playing.

[@EvaSlash]

I think this riff is impossible to play correctly and sounding as epic unless your pinky is freakishly long like Doug's.

[@Hallslys]

@raqugo123 or his suhr aldrich pickups!

[@Bang4URBux]

in the style of john sykes

[@adrianramosmusic]

that´s because Reb Beach is god of guitar

[@Za7a7aZ]

@marcussilvamgs Have you ever seen an interview with David Coverdale....? Without make-up (and with btw) he looks like the devils little helper and bolted together preventing falling apart.

[@6paidaa]

the guy who dislicked this vid must have been wasted when he clicked on the button :D

[@PyrStudios]

:O EARSEPTIONGASM!!!!

[@kaylaschulz2277]

Doug you've already betrayed me enough don't betray me anymore

[@sissikristjansson233]

MMMMmmmmm nammi...

[@WashingtonMonster86]

YOu ever wonder what these rockers wouldve been instead ff not for the band? This dude reminds me of a doctor or some shit

[@BJrok]

They should have brought the other guy too. Doesn't quite sound that exciting without him.

[@MadDistortion]

I can see your truss rod.... :S

[@MrSwissMaestro]

[@liquidxeron]

[@raqugo123]

[@MarkoMaricPz]

[@Revocratic]

[@AriaGuitarsFans]

Sorry guys, but the guitar/amp sound is horrible.
