Guns N’ Roses founder teaches Drew Carey how to play an iconic song on 'Price is Right'

It's not every day that you get a rockstar to teach you an iconic guitar riff on "The Price is Right."

Drew Carey is more than just the face of "The Price is Right" as he has many talents, which he keeps flaunting in parts on the show. Although the former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant does shake a leg on the sets of the game show, it turns out that he can also strum a few tunes. This happened on an earlier episode of “The Price is Right” when Carey got a lesson from legendary musician Tracii Guns that was also the prize on offer.

Back in the ‘80s and the ‘90s, Guns was one of the co-founders of one of the most legendary bands of all time, Guns n’ Roses. He founded the group with frontman Axl Rose but left shortly afterward and was replaced by the man in the top hat on lead guitar, Slash.



 

When he sat down with Carey to teach him the guitar, he started with the basics. Power chords are two-note structures that are perhaps the simplest and the most commonly used shapes in rock music. It did not take long for the host to get the hang of it. That’s when Guns played him 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin. The host was intrigued by this and asked Guns to teach him the opening riff of the iconic song.

“Can you teach me that riff right there?” he asked. “Of course,” said Guns. It did not take Carey long to master that riff, and within a matter of minutes, he was playing it like a pro. The amazing part was that he did not even need a pick to play it. “Hey, I taught Drew Carey how to play Whole Lotta Love,” the musician said proudly.



 

While Carey got the lesson from a guitar god, his announcer has the showmanship of a rockstar. George Gray went all out by dressing like a rockstar and presented a guitar by Dean Guitars as a prize on an earlier episode of the show. He wore a sleeveless top and a blonde-haired wig as the guitar was brought down from the rafters via cable straight into his hands. “The next prize gives new meaning to air guitar,” he said.

He even pretended to perform a little finger-tapping solo before some pyrotechnics went off. “Goodnight, Cleaveland,” the announcer added before the camera panned back to Carey. The host of the show had a big smile on his face. He said to Gray exactly what a father would say to a man who acted like that and tried to talk to his daughter. “Hey, George,” he said. “Stay away from my daughter, you creep.”



 

Fans loved the moment and made their feelings clear on YouTube. “Hahahahahahaha and lol! George is really funny! I also loved it when Drew said "Stay away from my daughter, you creep,” one user commented. “When its not enough models, George becomes the model,” added another.
