How To Play Jet Airliner By Steve Miller - Guitar Lesson

In this video I demonstrate how to play the song Jet Airliner as recorded by Steve Miller. This is a pretty basic song, but it rocks hard and is an amazing song with a really cool and catchy main lick. It's also tuned up one and a half steps which gives a unit bright tone that soundds amazing. In this lesson I cover the tuning, along with all parts of the song including the intro lick. I hope you enjoy the lesson. Please subscribe! "Jet Airliner" is a song composed by Paul Pena in 1973 and popularized by the Steve Miller Band in 1977. Pena wrote and recorded "Jet Airliner" in 1973 for his New Train album. However, New Train was not released until 2000, due to conflicts between him and his label. Steve Miller heard Pena's unreleased New Train album through Ben Sidran, who produced it, and who was formerly in Miller's band. Miller recorded "Jet Airliner" in 1975 during sessions for the Fly Like an Eagle album, but the song was not released until 1977, when it was included on Miller's Book of Dreams album. The single reached No. 8 on the Billboard chart. In Canada, the song spent two weeks at No. 3. On classic rock radio, Miller's "Jet Airliner" is generally played in tandem with "Threshold", the all-synthesizer instrumental that precedes it on Book of Dreams and the Greatest Hits 1974–78 compilation. The single edit of Miller's recording features a truncated version of the guitar intro. In addition, one line of the song's lyrics was altered for radio play: instead of "that I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky shit goin' down in the city," it was changed to "funky kicks." The single edit was included on the original release of Greatest Hits 1974–78, although the full album version has been used for later CD reissues of the compilation.
