Animal

Trent Swartzentruber teaches you how to play “Animal”, by Neon Trees. The song is their lead single off their album, Habits, and it debuted in October 2009 at #100 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song went #1 for 32 weeks on the Billboard Alternative chart, making “Animal” their first #1 hit.

The song is mostly bass guitar and synth lines, with a few guitar parts here and there, but Trent has arranged the song in a way where he will teach you the bass riffs as well as the synth lines.

Trent plays an Gibson Custom ES-335 Block Inlay in the lesson.
