Ever wondered how to play “Over the Wall” by Testament? In this exclusive clip from Riff Lords, Eric Peterson shows you exactly how he plays the song, breaking down the main opening riff, the verse riff, and the guitar parts that make “Over the Wall” such a classic Testament track.

In this “Over the Wall” guitar lesson, Eric first plays the riff at full speed before slowing it down so you can follow along and actually learn how to play the song exactly how he wrote it, including the techniques he uses to get that iconic sound. He shows you the opening single-note parts, the pull-offs, and how to move through each section of the riff and tie them all together.

Eric also breaks down the fast bar chord section and explains why muting is so important. He reveals how he thinks of his right hand like a drummer, using his picking hand almost like a drum roll to make the riff sound tight and precise.

You’ll also learn how the two guitars in Testament work together. Instead of always playing the same thing, each guitar can play a different part to make the song sound bigger and more melodic, which is a signature move for the band Testament.

Eric then shows you the galloping and chugging techniques that have been part of Testament’s sound since their first record. He explains how he plays on the open E string while adding other chords and half-step movements to create the verse riff in “Over the Wall.”

If you’re a Testament fan, an Eric Peterson fan, or simply looking for a guitar lesson on how to play “Over the Wall,” this is a must-watch from the guitarist who wrote it.
