In this Everybody Wants to Rule The World guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this massive hit from the 80's by Tears for Fears in it's entirety.
Released in 1985 off their album Songs from the Big Chair, "Everybody Wants to Rule The World" went on to become their biggest hit in large part due to some really well crafted guitar parts.
The opening riff in instantly recognizable. It then makes it way to the verse chords which are dominated by keyboards. However, I will still show you how to play that section in a very easy manner on the guitar.
The chorus is made up of mostly simple bar chords, so if you can play those you won't have any trouble at all.
There is also a quick little bridge section made up of power chords. The rhythm becomes more aggressive here so make sure you pay attention to the video lesson to know what to do in the picking hand.
The real stars of the show in this video lesson will be the guitar solos. The first one uses a ton of double-stops that shift all over the fretboard in a very quick fashion.
The double-stops can be a bit tricky, and those shifts are probably the most difficult part of the song. Try to anticipate the shifts in order to make it a bit easier to learn.
The outro solo is very unorthodox yet incredibly musical at the same time. It uses a lot of wide interval skips and the melody lines are created using a lot of awkward bends and slides.
Just as in the first solo, learn each part phrase-by-phrase before putting in all together. That will help your hands get acclimated to those unique guitar lines much quicker.
Have fun learning this 80's classic from Tears for Fears!
Carl...

    This is in my opinion the best tutorial for this song that I have ever found and I have keeping getting back to it through the years .The only missing part for me is the lack of diagrams on screen because I find a little hard to understand every position guides from Carl while He is teaching them.Still, that’s my problem… this is a wonderful and complete tutorial. Thank dear Carl
