Working Man – Guitar Play Along (Rush)

Working Man is a heavy, riff-driven classic that blends bluesy feel with early hard rock power.

It’s all about strong rhythm playing, controlled dynamics, and locking into the groove.

A great track for building confidence in heavier riff-based playing.

• Lock into the groove — the feel is steady and powerful, don’t rush the riffs.

• Focus on clean power chords — make sure each chord rings clearly.

• Control your muting — keep the low end tight and avoid unwanted noise.

• Use consistent picking — each riff should sound even and confident.

• Let the riff carry the song — don’t overcomplicate it, keep it solid.

• Start slow and focus on clean chord transitions.
