    Ep167 Learning "It Hit Me Like a Hammer" - PRS SE NF3
    Jul 23 2024

    In episode 167 of the Guitar Music Theory podcast, I guide you through my process of learning songs, using "It Hit Me Like a Hammer" by Huey Lewis and The News as an example. This track showcases chunky '80s rock power chords and a bluesy minor pentatonic guitar solo. I play it on my new PRS SE NF3 guitar, using a profile of a Mesa Boogie Mark 3 amp.

Best Guitar Theory podcast

The material in these podcasts is relevant to guitar players of all levels. Theory combined with songs is the best way to learn music and Desi does that with great clarity.

Cheap Ibenze Too upgraded main guitar.

Like the narrator comment you can take a two hundred and when you get the money replace the stock tunners with locking ones, and replace the bridge pickup. I also sent two days setting it pickup a set of diamond covered files and really spent time beveling, triming, and taking the edges off the frets to make it like an instrument which had money spent on it.
