My Motley Crue Playlist! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOBqO_KghqI5Atw518SlDc7pv5ZstlUXv

This Kickstart My Heart guitar lesson video will show you how to play this classic hit by Motley Crue in it’s entirety.

First things first, the tuning for “Kickstart My Heart” guitar is tuned down a whole step. The song just doesn’t sound right without it. From low to high that would mean you need to tune you guitar D G C F A D.

The main riff/chorus riff for “Kickstart My Heart” is probably one of the most fun you will ever play.

One thing you will notice from the get go is that this riff moves around a lot and is quite fast. Guitarist Mick Mars does an excellent job of creating an exciting riff by using a multitude of techniques including palm muting, rapid downstrokes, alternate picking, fast shifts, pull-offs, barring and muting.

To get all of these elements under control, I seriously suggest learning the riff in sections (like I break it up in the lesson video) and playing the parts very slowly until the notes fall under the fingers without you having to think about them very much. More like muscle memory I would say.

After that, I will cover every riff in the song in the order that each appears.

I will also cover Mick Mars’ guitar solo and fills. The solo uses a talk box throughout. Since I don’t personally own a talk box, I will just try and recreate the sound via a standard wah pedal, which is what I think most players will do as well.

Have fun with this one, it is a blast to play! #kickstartmyheartguitarlesson #motleycrue #thedirt #kickstartmyheartguitarcover
