_ _ Hi, this is [Em] Gaylord again.
I thought I'd [N] do a quick one for you for Lay Down Sally.
_ [G#m] And a really easy [A] song.
It's just _ [D] A, G, [E] _ E, I think are the three basic chords.
The only [G] difference, you know, when you're playing it with an acoustic [G#] guitar, when I
play a lot of _ around town, [A] when I'm playing on acoustic, _ remember you want to try and
[C#] fill in as much as you [A] can so you can't just stomp like you're sitting around a campfire.
[E] So I'm going to show you a couple of the licks that [N] I use.
It sounds a lot better sometimes
on an electric guitar, _ but if you're doing it with an [E] acoustic, _ _ you can do a lot of fill
in.
So here's what I do.
When I'm starting, this is just an A, regular A [A] chord.
What all
I'm doing is I'm basically hitting the _ 6th and the 5th and [E] a little bit of the 4th string,
kind [A] of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
like_
_ _ [Em] You know, it's a key.
I'm going to tell you [A] this right now.
A lot of
guitar players, when they strum, you'll see their _ whole hand is moving [F#] like this when
they [Em] strum.
Don't do that.
When you want to strum, you want to strum real easy.
I hold
that pick, I use [D#] a _ _ _ _ .38mm,
real thin pick, _ .38.
Anyway, you want to hold it real light
so it's almost going to knock out of your hand when you're playing.
All mine is all
[E] wrist motion.
So anyway, _ [F#] just a little extra for you there.
Here's [E] an A [A] chord. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm doing
that on an upbeat. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I have a little riff for you to do. _
[E] _ _ [A] It goes like this.
_ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [F#] _ [E] I'm just using
my index finger and my pinky.
[A] _
When you're strumming an A, you want to use your bass
notes on the 6th string _ [Em] and the 5th string.
[A] That's open 5th right there, [F#] _ _ _ _
2nd on the _ [E] 6th,
_ open _ [F#] 6th, _ _ _ 2nd, [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ 3rd, _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F#] _
it's like that.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It _ _ _ _ _ goes in like that when you're hitting those notes. _ _
_ _ _ _ Then it goes to a D.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Here's what you're [F] doing on [D] that D.
_ _ It's your regular open there. _
_ [A] _ _ _ I'm
on the 5th string [D] then, _ open 4, and then 2nd on the 5th.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] Then I'm going [E] down to an
E. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] All I'm doing there is I'm on the 5th string, [B] 2nd and 4th [E] fret. _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I'm hitting it with like
the 6th, 5th, and 4th strings.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ On that [D] lick, there's a lot of different ways to [G] play that.
I've seen people do that all kinds of different ways.
When you're [A] playing _ one guitar, remember,
you're going to have to try and make that as full as you can _ and as [D] smooth as you can.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] The easiest way to do this for you, _ _ just use your [F#] open 4th and open [G] 3rd.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ While _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ that's [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [F] _ _ not
[G] exactly what he's [A] doing like that, when you're playing by yourself, you've got a singer behind
you, that's the best way to keep it sounding full with one guitar and maybe a drum _ _ machine.
Here we go. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ There you go.
This is Gaylord.
I had [E] a lot of fun with that one.
See you
later.
Let me know if there's something you want to see.
