In this video guitar lesson series I will show you how to play Aerosmith's breakthrough hit "Sweet Emotion". This Sweet Emotion guitar lesson will teach the original album version with the full guitar solo. :)
Released in 1975 off their "Toys In The Attic" album, "Sweet Emotion" began a string of pop hits and large-scale mainstream success for the band that would continue for the remainder of the 1970s.
The only part of the song I won't be covering in this lesson is Joe Perry's talk box intro. I don't have a talk box... sorry.
From there the song really kicks in with a driving verse rhythm that keeps developing into an instrumental section that contains one of the coolest classic rock riffs ever written. It is pretty incredible that something like that riff was recorded way back in 1975 and that it still rocks so much today.
That same instrumental riff is harmonized by Joe Perry from the second time it is played in the song and onward. The harmony interval used here is the 5th so pay close attention to the part of the video lesson where I demonstrate it if you have another guitar player you will be playing this song with.
The chorus of the songs brings everything down to a very subdued point. That is a very unique method of composing a song since usually the chorus is the part of the song with the biggest climax. Instead, Aerosmith relies on the cool vocal harmonies to carry the chorus section and it worked out fantastic.
I will close the first video lesson with a look at the riff being played underneath the guitar solo.
In the second video lesson I will demonstrate a note-for-note breakdown of Joe Perry's guitar solo that closes out the song. Be sure to listen to the original album version to hear this solo since the single version edits it out.
This solo is quite the challenge and is classic Joe Perry through and through. Lots of double-stops, fast blues licks and singable melodies abound. Much of the solo is obviously improvised so it can be a bit cumbersome trying to get it nailed note-for-note. For those sections I will demonstrate the way to approach it like Joe Perry does so you can do your own thing there if you want. :)
I hope you guys enjoy learning this Aerosmith classic. It was truly their first breakthrough hit and remains well loved to this day!
Carl...

You can really here Joe Perry's influence in alot of Slash's licks. This song has parts that remind me of Rocket Queen like the riff starting at 29 seconds.
So many times, I've clicked on one of these videos thinking "I've heard that ten thousand times, let's see how they do that . . . " and it's so terrifyingly obvious after I've seen you play it that I feel like a total idiot. ha ha ha - You are really great at this and I hope it's very successful for you . . . and for as long as you want it to be. Bravo again.
Carl Brown is a great teacher and influence. Joe Perry and Brad Whitford are too. Thanks Guys.
Best teacher on the internet
Another kicking song and great lesson from you Carl, looking forward to the solo. Keep calm and rock on. Many thanks to you.
I just saw Aerosmith in concert so this is really fun and exciting to learn how to play my favorite song of thiers! Thank you Carl!
Hey thanks a million man!! ...you are the most accurate out here on the internet and you slow it down correctly where it is easy to learn!!
I like your channel good instructions I like how you break things down in sections and going on to the next part. Thanks for the lesson.
I work in an office 5 days a week and it's so great to come home and see what you've done during your days. I'm dazed!
Thanks Carl! Really great job!
Maaaan, what an awesome tutorial, thought it would be a lot harder, keep those lessons coming!!

Appreciate the lesson Carl! You are a very good instructor sir
Awesome lesson. Thank you!
Hey Carl, thanks for the lesson. Can you talk about guitar and pick up setting (why a strat vs a Les Paul for example, amp setting, distortion vs overdrive, etc?
One of my favorites also .... thank you!

uh yeah...the fuzz is what it is all about.....love it
All the way from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada, you are the best, learned so much from you. Would love for you to do" I used to love her" GNR, with the solos. Thanks again for everything.
Thanks for this man!
Thank you so much this is a great teacher
Goddamn I love the riffs in this fucking song. Joe Perry and Brad Whitford are one of the greatest guitar duos in the gamut of popular music
great lesson:)
Thank you - this is one of my favourite songs, and what I think is one of the best riffs of all time, and I've long thought I couldn't ever play something like this. But thanks to your easy to follow break-down, even I was able to pick it up and at least get it resembling Joe's riff! It's weird, sometimes the things you think sound really hard are actually quite simple to play, and the things you think sound really simple are actually quite hard to play
Thanks mate 🤘

The only thing you've left our in this intro riff is the ghost muted clicks you're playing in between the A chords...I think I hear those too
How do you make the distortion sound. Is there a stomp box or effect board?
What are the basic chords on rhythm guitar?
Can you do a lesson for rag doll by Aerosmith
how long do we wait for the guitar solo?
Any thoughts on how to get that overdrive tone?

I love you Carl Brown
1977 I had a date with the cheerleader of a nearby high school. We were in my 1972 firebird that I had saved for and bought. I played this 8 track and she asked if I had any good tapes. I said no just these 💩ie ones. I never saw that gal again.
im doing what you say but it still doesnt sound right and my guitar is in tune.. maybe its just the guitar :/
