Joe here at Reverb.com taking a look [D] at some songwriting techniques and riffs of Bob Dylan.
On this lesson we are taking a look at Shelter From The Storm.
Super simple, very easy.
This song utilizes an open tuning that Dylan used on many of the songs from this record, Blood On The Tracks.
It's an open D tuning.
It's going to go D, A, [A] [D] D, F sharp, another A, and another D.
Open D major chord.
Shelter From The Storm song is in the key of E, so we're going to capo second fret.
And then we're going to strum [Eb] it like Bob Dylan.
[E]
This song is just one, four, and five all the way through.
Again, speaks to the amount of size and sound that you can get out of an open tuning.
Just using one, four, and five, the simplest, maybe most common chords used compositionally.
One chord is obviously open E right there.
Five chord [Eb] is going to be this shape here.
[Ebm] [B]
[Abm] And the four chord is going to [A] be this shape right here.
Sometimes this second fret here gets kind of pulled off before [E] going back to the one.
But those are [B] the chords.
So we've got pretty much four lines in these verses of Shelter From The Storm.
It's [E] going to be one, [B] five, [A] four, [E] one.
[B] Second line and the third line are going to be one, [E] five, four.
[B] [A]
And the fourth line [E] is just like the first, one, five, four, one.
So we've got the first line, [B]
[A] [E] second one
[B] [A] stays on the four.
[E] [B] Third line the [A] same.
[E] And the fourth [B] line [E] goes back [A] to the one.

Explore open tunings.
[N] We've talked about them in a couple other videos.
They're very empowering.
You can discover a lot.
You can use simple songwriting techniques.
And if you apply an open tuning, that just really opens up your world.
I think that [E] Bob Dylan definitely exemplifies that on that record
and some other records where he used open tunings.
So thanks so much for [B] learning [E] this stuff [A] with me here [E] today.
Bob Dylan, Shelter From The Storm.
Check out a couple [B] other Dylan [A] lessons on the site.
We'll see you guys next time.
