More about this title

About the Artist: Chicago

Chicago emerged in the late 1960s as one of the defining voices of rock music, blending horn arrangements with guitar-driven songwriting in ways that few bands attempted. Their catalog spans decades of hits, from hard rock epics to sophisticated pop productions, establishing them as innovators who proved that rock bands could incorporate brass sections without sacrificing edge or radio appeal.

Why we love this

This track demands serious guitar chops and rewards players who can nail both the precision picking and the emotional arc. The authentic TAB gives students access to exactly what was recorded, letting them hear the studio version and match it note-for-note, which builds listening skills and accuracy simultaneously.

What to expect

The guitar work here sits in a pocket of controlled intensity, locked between precision picking and restraint. There's an understated coolness to the part; it doesn't announce itself, but it anchors everything around it.

Who it's for

Guitar students ready to tackle a recognizable rock classic with real performance demands. This works equally well for students learning ear training alongside reading skills, and for players looking to add a professional-sounding cover to their live repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock in the rhythmic pocket between your picking hand and the track. The song hinges on groove, not flashy technique, so consistency matters more than speed.
  • Work through the TAB section by section rather than trying to memorize the whole piece at once. Mark your problem areas and isolate those measures until they're solid.
  • Play along with the original recording at full speed only after you can execute each section cleanly at a slower tempo. Use a backing track or metronome set to 80% of the original speed as your training tool.
  • Pay attention to dynamics and tone shaping. The guitar sits behind the horns in the mix, so a clean, articulate attack will cut through when you're performing this live.

How to use it

This pairs naturally with a unit on 1970s rock history or as a bridge between classical technique and contemporary music. It also works as a recital piece that students will recognize and audiences will enjoy hearing live.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and playing authentic TAB notation with accuracy
  • Matching recorded guitar parts by ear and notation simultaneously
  • Maintaining steady groove and rhythmic precision over longer passages
  • Dynamic control and tone shaping to sit correctly in a band mix
  • Building confidence with recognizable repertoire
