Are You Gonna Go My Way Lenny Kravitz Guitar Lesson + Tutorial

Today I want to share with you how I play “Are You Gonna Go My Way” as recorded by Lenny Kravitz.

I’ve noticed a few things about this song in particular. Things that will help players elevate both their blues and rock playing simultaneously.

This song is a great example of how blues guitar led straight into rock. For example, the main riff to “Are You Gonna Go My Way” is a straight-up blues riff.
