Who wrote “No More Mr. Nice Guy”
“No More Mr. Nice Guy" was written by Michael Bruce and Alice Cooper for the American rock band Alice Cooper. The song was first released as a single in 1973, off their sixth studio album Billion Dollar Babies. The song reached number 25 on the US charts and since then, it has become an anthem of rock 'n' roll.
Signature Riff
One of the coolest guitar parts in the song is the opening signature riff. It starts off with an A power chord but is played with a root on the 4th string. Typically, the first power chords players learn are the ones with roots on the 5th or 6th string. However, this one starts off with the root on the 4th string and is great to have in your wheelhouse as a rock guitarist. From there, the notes progress through a bluesy little melody and then it ends with a quick pentatonic lick in bar 2.
This riff repeats four times, and then it moves to a Bm chord at the 7th position and then an Esus4 to an E in 1 bar.
