Motley Crue - Wild Side with Lyrics

How to play Motley Crue - Wild Side with Lyrics by Unknown on guitar

This song is a fun beginner pick because it moves with a steady rock pulse and gives you a strong, driving feel right away. You can focus on keeping the groove solid and letting the changes land cleanly, which makes it satisfying to play even at a simple level.

The chart starts with G, A#, C, A#, so you will jump between open shapes and harder barre shapes right away. G, C, F, Dm, and D are the easier open chords, while A#, Cm, Gm, D#, and F# need more hand strength and cleaner muting, so watch the switch into A# carefully.

Start by looping just the opening progression slowly until the shape changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the open chords first, and only after that work on the barre shapes one at a time. When each change is steady, bring the tempo up little by little until you can play the whole song smoothly.

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.
