How To Play Dream On By Aerosmith - Guitar Lesson - Joe Perry

In this video I demonstrate how to play the introduction of the song Dream On by Aerosmith. This is a mesmerizing and rather tricky part that is an iconic phrase that is immediately identifiable the moment you play the first chord. I show how to play the part on guitar using both finger picking and then with a pick when I show how to play the ending solo lick that wraps the part up before the first verse begins.

"Dream On" is a power ballad by American rock band Aerosmith, from their 1973 eponymous debut album. Written by lead singer Steven Tyler, this song was their first major hit and became a classic rock radio staple. Released in June 1973, it peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 but hit big in the band's native Boston, where it was the number one single of the year on WBZ-FM, number five for the year on WRKO and number 16 on WMEX (AM).[citation needed] The song also received immediate heavy airplay on the former WVBF (FM), often showing up in the #1 position on "The Top Five at Five" in June 1973.
