_ [E] _ Hi.
[F#] Today we'll be learning Ain't No [E] Sunshine
[A] by Bill Withers [F#] from _ [G] 1971.
[E] _ _ [C] _ We'll be using some minor [A] chords and we'll be also [F#] using some bar chords
but I will give you some [F#m] easy alternatives to most of the [C#m] bars that we're going to be using.
_ Okay?
_ Any chords you need to get up on can [G#] be found in my tutorial
_ [C] Eric Blackman [A#m] Guitar Chord [F#] Tutorial Number 49.
_ [G#]
So if you're if [A#] you're on any of the chords look at that [F#] tutorial and then come back here and learn the song.
That's Eric [C#m] Blackman Chord [F#] Tutorial Number 49. _
_ [A] Alright, our first chord is going to be an A minor 7.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ And we're going to be strumming [Am] this in this way.
We're going to be using our [E] thumb _ and our index finger.
Alright, [F#m] let's get started.
The first thing we're [G#] going to do is go to an A [B] minor 7 chord.
We're going to use [A] the thumb _ and the index [C] finger to pick the chords to [A] get this effect.
_ [Am] _ _ _ Like [E] that.
So I'm going to my [A] A string and my B string for the first [F#] chord.
That's A minor 7 and we're going to strum it like [Am] this.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Right after that, _ _ [F#] the [G#m] next chord is a simple E minor chord.
And [E] we're going to strum it this way.
_ [Em] _ _ I'm [C#] going to go down on my low E [E] string.
_ _ Now, I [B] don't have my fingers on the fretboard.
No fingers on the [E] fretboard at all.
And we get [G] E minor.
Okay, so _ _ [E] low E and then pull up on the G [G] string.
_ Once.
Okay, so this is what we got [C#] so far.
A [A] minor 7. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ Okay.
Then [C#] we're going to go to a [F#m] G7 at the third [A] fret.
_ And do the same thing to that chord as we did the [F#] E minor [G] chord.
_ _ _ Just [G#m] like that.
Now I play [C] down on my low E string with my [G] thumb.
_ And then [G#] pulled up on my G [G] string.
_ Like that.
So this [A] is what we've got.
_ [Am] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ And we [A#] go back to A minor 7.
_ [C] _ And rest.
This [Am] is what we have. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ Now that's what [A] we're going to play [G#] during the verses.
[E] And then when we change during the [A] verse, we're going to go to E [E] minor 7.
_ [G#] Which is up here at the [E] seventh fret. _
And we're going to strum it the same [Em] way. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Four times.
And then D minor [Dm] 7. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And [Am] then go back to _ A minor 7. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [A] So again, [Em] that was _ _ E minor 7. _ _
_ D minor [Dm] 7. _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now [C#] friends, that [E] is the entire [G#] song.
Okay.
[E] So if you learn that, you'll be able to play the entire song.
[C#m] Now I'm going to show you an [F#] alternative chord that you can [E] play for the E minor [Em] 7.
_ [A] You can do this.
[E] _
_ _ [F#] Just put your finger [Em] here. _ _
[E] And get an E minor down [Em] here. _ _
Right.
So you'd have to go. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] And then you go to a D minor 7 _ _ alternative.
[F#] Which is here.
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ And go. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] And then go down to the A minor 7.
_ [C] _
_ _ So that would [E] go like this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That's much easier to play.
But the bar chords _ [G] _
sound a whole lot better.
[F] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ So I'm going to leave that [G#] up to you. _
_ [E] And that's all we [G#] need to know to play Ain't [E] No Sunshine by Bill Withers.
