Under Pressure by Queen is obviously famous for that iconic bassline, but there’s some really useful guitar stuff hiding in there too. The main guitar part is built around just D, A and G, played as triads, which makes this a brilliant little workout for learning the same chord shapes across the neck. Practise finding all your D, G and A shapes and suddenly you’re not just learning one song — you’re building a skill you can use all over your playing. A great one for anyone moving into that intermediate stage and wanting to understand the fretboard a bit better. #Queen #UnderPressure #GuitarLesson #GuitarTriads #AndyGuitar
