Learn how to play Dream On, as performed by Aerosmith released originally on their self titled debut album in 1973. The song only charted in the US at 59 at the time, but after they released the next few successful albums, they re-released the single in 1976 and it made it all the way to number 6 on the Billboard 100 chart.

The lesson covers the rhythm and lead guitar parts, though there are two guitar players in the band dividing parts (Brad Whitford and Joe Perry) , I'll show you how to play all the parts and allow you to create your own combined "hybrid" version you can do on one guitar.
