Hi GMC!
Welcome to my Southern Rock lesson!
Here's a simple & efficient backing to get straight to the point : mixing Rock & Blues phrasing, focus on your tone, your touch and put some soul in every note.
The lesson is designed to be played looped : verse / chorus and little bridge in between and so on.
The basic tonality is C major, even if we briefly slide to the F Major tonality during the bridge with the Bb chord.
So we gonna use our good old D minor pentatonic scale for soloing & improvising.
Here's the chords chart :
Verses | Dm / C | G / Dm I
Bridge | Bb | C |
Chorus | Dm | C / G |
Notice that in the verse we play a G chord with the b note on the bass.
I also included a backing track without the rhythm guitar, only the drums & the bass.
As always you'll find more explanations under each video section.

Lead guitar videos 5/8
Have fun!
