Surrender

Lead Singer for The Kicks, Jordan Phillips, shows you how to play “Surrender” by the classic rock band, Cheap Trick. “Surrender” was Cheap Trick’s first single off of their 1978 album, Heaven Tonight, and it paved the way for huge success in the US and Japan. “Surrender” was also listed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In this lesson, Jordan will focus on the live version of this song, off of Cheap Trick at Budokan.

Jordan plays a Gibson Custom Les Paul R7 Goldtop in the lesson.
