Bad Penny

Bad Penny

Rory Gallagher

In this Electric Guitar lesson James breaks down the three main sections of Bad Penny by Rory Gallagher. This video breaks the Guitar Tabs down note by note. The song is in Dm and really leans into the Aeolian natural minor feel using open chords in the introduction and bar chords in the bridge. The lead guitar riff comes in at various points of the song and often links to an improvised section in D minor.
