When "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor was written at the request of actor Sylvester Stallone to be the theme song for Rocky III, no one knew just how big of a smash hit it would become.
Due to it's iconic opening guitar riff and big rock anthem chorus, "Eye Of The Tiger" ended up topping the charts all over the world.
In this Eye Of The Tiger guitar lesson video I will demonstrate how to play the entire song note-for-note.
Luckily, those memorable guitar riffs are relatively easy to play so just about anyone gets to try to learn this one. It actually may challenge some beginner guitar players, but that is a good thing.
Throughout most of the song's verse and intro sections we have a constant 16th note pedal tone being played. That riff is just a guitar overdub though. You will want to play it between the chords in the opening riff to make it sound close to the recording, but if you are playing the song by yourself it will be impossible to recreate exactly due to that overdub.
After the initial power chord opening, the song moves into a triad version of the same riff. It creates a nice segue into the verse since this riff sounds more open and looser.
The chorus uses a couple barre chords, some diads that require a rather large shift and a short single note riff to close it out. Because of all these techniques, I would say the chorus will probably be the most difficult part to play for most players. That doesn't mean that it is very hard to play though. :)
Other than that I also cover the little guitar harmony section found during the second verse. I will demonstrate how to play that little harmony section of just one guitar.
So whether you are a diehard Rocky fan, want to show off for a few friends, or a beginner guitarist who wants a great challenge, learning to play "Eye Of The Tiger" should make for a quick and enjoyable experience.
OK that is enough talking for me! Enjoy the lesson!

Thanks for this tutorial. It sounds great. One note about the rhythm at the beginning: At :27 there's a half rest on beat 3, giving the riff some syncopation.

Great one Carl! I remember when Rocky III came out and remember hearing the song well before I heard it on the radio. It's a sweet song but you are certainly correct about needing several guitars.
Absolutely awesome iconic riff and lesson ty Carl

0:50 Hahahaha. I can't for this eye brows. What a self adoration. Thanks for lesson.
Best part is where the main guitar riff goes up to E flat - A# , it sounds discordant in a good way and really drives the song along, do you know the music theory why that change works so well?
What are you using for the tone? Love this. Sounds just like it.

It seems as if you are completely new to guitar...I would suggest you to first learn all the open/barre chords before attempting these riffs/songs...that would make it much easier for you to understand whats happening...

85 people looked too deep in the eye of the tiger... got shredded to pieces ? 😅😆
I love the internet. I'm playing guitar and think to myself how in the hell do you play eye of the tiger and boom it's in front of my face . Back when I first started playing you had to listen to the radio or a tape you had a hundred thousand times trying to get every cord correct lol if you've been playing guitar for at least 15 years you know what I'm talking about lol
Simple, ya right. That I believe was number 1 for like 7 weeks.
