Any Way You Want It by Journey is a very fun song to play on the guitar that doesn't present very many challenges, especially if your not playing the solo.
In this Any Way You Want It guitar lesson video will I will teach you the rhythm guitar part and both guitar solos of this Journey smash hit as played by Neal Schon.
In the verse you will have a nice opportunity to work on muting and dynamics. You will be using those elements along with a little single note riff that acts as a turnaround throughout the song.
In the chorus you get to work on using your thumb to play a bass note on the 6th string. This can be a bit awkward at first, but will become very comfortable with practice.
In order to help the thumb reach the 6th string, it is important to have a hand position that facilitates that kind of playing. I find that bending the inside of my fret hand wrist upwards towards my face a little bit makes reaching those 6th string bass notes with my thumb much easier.
You should experiment with that hand position and maybe a few others to find what works best for you.
In this second video lesson, I will show you how to play Neal Schon's main guitar solo. As typical with Schon's playing, there are lots of very melodic phrases with some fast scale runs thrown in there as well. This solo isn't very difficult except for a fast descending pentatonic lick. I will break that lick down into the patterns that he is using so it won't feel like it is just a series of random notes.
In the third and final lesson video I will show you how to play Neal Schon's outro solo for "Any Way You Want It".
For this solo, Neal Schon uses a lot of bends to create the melodic phrases. Practicing this solo a lot will probably give your fingertips a pretty heavy beating, so make sure you only work on it a few minutes at a time unless you have calluses that can already stand up to that kind on abuse. :)
Try to focus on keeping those bends in tune and really letting the notes soar. Slightly releasing the pressure of the notes during the sustained bends will make the notes die out too soon which will ruin the effect that Neal Schon created in this solo.
Hope you guys have fun tackling this monster hit from Journey!

"He's really just kinda goin' for it"
I think that's exactly what I wanted to hear :)
Joey Sigmund dude right? It's like pick a pattern in those shapes to learn the theme and get the timing down, but just wail..
I really appreciate that you are giving specific notes and patterns but then clarifying that Neal “just kind of goes for it.”
I stress to students all the time that most solos are not worth learning note for note- you’ll go crazy trying to replicate something that just kind of came out of someone else naturally.
So learn the shapes and patterns and essential melody notes of the solo but at the end of the day you gotta kind of figure out a way that works for you.
This was a great lesson and helped me get the rest of the solo, thank you!
We can never replicate another player, it is in their DNA. Neal is one of kind. He is definitely is a great player and he worked hard at his craft.
100% that's great advice. I think after a while you can pick up on the difference between solos (and parts of solos) that are worth picking up and what you should really just improvise yourself
@@ConcertJunkie561 exactly!
great lesson. This makes a lot more sense to me than some of the other fingerings i've seen.
Thanks Carl! Neil Schon is such a great player when it comes to combining shredding and a sense of melody.
