[D] [B] Hi, welcome to Lessons with Troy.com. I'm Troy Bruningmeier.
Well this week's lesson
we're learning the Hawaiian tune Aloha Oe and we're actually learning this one a
little bit backwards.
We're going to learn the chorus first and then in a later
lesson we'll learn the verse.
But the chorus is the part of this tune that
most people recognize when they hear it. _ _
So if you're ready go ahead and print out
your tab and it looks like this and go ahead and set it on a stand in front of
you and we'll get going.
But I wanted to say a few things about what this lesson
is going to cover as far as some new techniques for the lap steel in C6
tuning especially.
We're learning some slants and slant techniques as you can
see probably from the from the sample we'll be doing both forward slants and
we have a reverse slant in there.
So a little new a few new techniques in this
tune.
So if you're ready let's go ahead and get going with Aloha Oe learning the
chorus. _ _ _
Okay this first phrase is going to cover measures 1 through 5 of your
_ tablature and it sounds like this.
Let me go ahead and play it slowly.
It starts on beat 4
of measure 1.
So 1 2 3.
_ [C] _ _ _ [B] Play _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ that a few times.
1 2 3.
[C] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay so [Bm]
it starts off like I
said on beat 4 of measure 1 and what we're doing is with your if you check
out my right hand with your thumb and index you're playing your fifth string
and fourth string and your bar is pulled back here on your seventh fret
_ fifth string and fourth string with thumb and index finger.
_ Now I'm doing a
lot of palm blocking in this one.
Whenever I want to cut something off
short what I'm doing is just rolling my wrist back there [C] _ _
[G] _ [C] and _ that mutes out all
my strings just this this part of my hand right there [Bm] just rolling it back
like that really mutes out nicely. _
Okay so we got that seventh fret fifth string
and fourth string. _
[C] I roll my hand back and mute that out and then I'm going to
play sixth string and fifth string up on my twelfth fret way up there if you can
see that.
[Bm] So seventh fret _ fifth string fourth string _ mute [Am] out and then twelfth
fret sixth string fifth [Bm] string.
[C] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ [C] _ _ Okay so when you're up here on your twelfth
fret there in measure 2 _ _ notice how my bar is pulled all the way back to
whatever the highest note or highest string that I'm playing is.
_ _ So there it's
on my sixth string and fifth string so my bar is pulled back and as I go up my
bar just kind of follows the strings.
_ So sixth string fifth string and fifth
string fourth string twelfth fret and [G#] then you're going to play your fourth
string third string second string [C] _ _
[A#] and you're going to slide in from your
eleventh fret to your [G#m] twelfth. _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[F] Now notice my right hand technique there is [B] instead of
just playing it all together [F] _ _ [G#m] _ which you could and that sounds fine but sometimes
I like to kind of put a little ornamentation on there and just kind of
roll that thumb index middle _ [A] and [B] that little half step slide there.
_ [C] _ _
[Bm] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [Am] _ _ So what you
want to do there is really keep that bar real straight when you're playing [Bm] these
_ [C] _
[C#] So start off [Em] real slow [B] and _ [Am] _
[G] what I like to do is try to use palm blocking in
between each part that I'm playing [C] there _ _ and [Bm] _ [C]
it kind of keeps all this from
bleeding together and kind of adds a little _ separation in between each
each part of the [F#]
double stop [Bm] that you're playing.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Am] _ Plus it's really [B] good [C] practice.
_ _ Okay so there's that and then at the end of measure three there you're gonna play
twelfth fret on your sixth and fifth string.
Go back to your seventh fret [Bm] now
on your fifth and fourth string _ [E] and then fourth [G] and second.
Notice I play that
with my thumb and middle finger now. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[G] _ [F#] You're gonna do that slide from fret six
to fret seven on your fourth second and first string.
[G] _ _ _
That's just thumb index
middle there.
[F#] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ So there's our first phrase.
[Bm] So like I said work with that palm
blocking each time you play something if you want to add some separation to those
double stops.
[C] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _
[E] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
It's kind of nice too when your bar is moving so that if you
don't want to hear the slide up _ _ you know all the way up you can do that palm
blocking and that will kind of stop that.
[C] _ _ _ _ [B] _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ Okay let's go ahead and move on to the next phrase. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
