PARAMORE - Hard Times (Guitar Lesson & Tablature)

Here's a tutorial on how I play Paramore's new single Hard Times on guitar. I demonstrate each part at full speed in context, followed by a slower playthrough, accompanied by the guitar tab in the bottom of the screen. It's a fun song to play, with a simple yet tricky single note line in the intro and verses, a nice funk groove in the chorus, and a pretty catchy outro melody. I've also thrown in some extras that aren't played on guitar in the original, but might be fun to play in a band setting.
It's suitable for intermediate or advanced beginner electric guitarists, although it's essential you know how to play barre chords and have a good strumming technique.

Good luck, please leave any comments and requests below, and if you'd like to see more lessons like these, please hit 'like' and subscribe!

A cover version will be up shortly, and I can do a backing track too if enough people are interested, let me know!
