What would you do if Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen crashed your music class and played "Pour Some Sugar On Me"? That’s what happened when the legendary guitarist teamed up with Yousician to join a music program class to inspire the 13 students to continue their music education. Collen joined Mark Cocheo, music educator and guitarist at Long Island High School Of The Arts in Syosset, and his students, with a drop in via Zoom during their afternoon class. Collen began with Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me” followed by a handful of students showcasing their own guitar version of the band’s instantly recognizable classic. He gave the group of teenagers some pretty sound advice: “It really comes down to putting the effort in, practicing and getting the technique down. It’s all a learning curve. You gotta be you.”
