Introduction:

And finally, we’re ready to look at Wild Thing.

This song contains several different themes – take things slow and focus on mastering the Guitar Key for the song. The better you can play the Guitar Key, the easier the rest will fall into place.

The Video Lesson:

Notes:

  • As always, keep this compartmentalised and extensively practice each section on it’s own before combining
  • The Guitar Key is simply the Main Theme – the better you know this, the easier the rest of the song becomes
  • The chord chart can look a little complicated with the strumming written under each chord, so we’ve included a simplified version further below without it
  • Don’t forget that this chord chart may become poorly formatted on a mobile device – try keeping your device in landscape ratio to help avoid confusion
  • Our Chord Chart is below:
