Running On Empty - Guitar Lessonby Jackson Browne

The title track of Jackson Browne's 1977 album, Running on Empty became one of his signature songs. This lesson explores an acoustic arrangement based on his live performances.

Although built around just four chords in G, the song uses the alternate tuning C-G-D-G-B-D, distinctive chord shapes, and syncopated changes that create its driving rhythm.

The lesson covers the chord voicings, rhythmic accents, a bass run, and several riffs that bring the arrangement together.
