Runaway Guitar Lesson (FULL SONG) - Bon Jovi

Well it looks like I don't know my Bon Jovi history very well! Haha...

The guitar parts for "Runaway" were originally performed by the great session guitarist Tim Pierce. I had no idea since Richie is in the music video. It is even more embarrassing since I know Tim. I guess apologies are in order. :) So throughout the video, whenever I mention Richie's name, just replace it with Tim in your mind and all will be right with the world. Sorry Tim!!

My Bon Jovi Playlist!    • Bon Jovi  

In this Runaway guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this early Bon Jovi hit in it's entirety.

The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.

There are some interesting guitar parts in this one. Guitarist Tim Pierce (This was before Richie joined the band) uses basic chords around single note riffs for the verse sections. However, during the pre-chorus sections, he uses a combination of harmonics, fretted notes and the whammy bar for some rather unique guitar lines.

The chorus also uses some common chords and single note riffs.

Tim Pierce does have an absolutely killer solo in this one and I will cover it note-for-note.

There are a couple sections of this solo that will be difficult to get up to speed unless you are an advanced player, especially the second half of the solo.

Have fun with this classic! #runawayguitarlesson #bonjovi #runawayguitarcover
