How to play Aerosmith Walk This Way by Aerosmith on guitar

This is a great song to learn because it has a strong, driving feel and a riff-heavy groove that keeps your right hand busy. At about 120 BPM, it feels energetic without being out of reach, so you can focus on locking in the rhythm and making each change sound confident.

You can stay mostly in open shapes, but the chart also asks for the harder barre shapes B and Cm, so those will be the spots that test your hand. The main change to watch is the opening move from E to B, since it shifts you from an open shape into a barre shape and can break the flow if you rush it.

Start by looping E, B, A, and C slowly until the switch to B feels smooth. Then add the rest of the progression in short sections, keeping your strums even and relaxed. Once the changes are clean, bring it up to full tempo and aim for steady timing over speed.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
