_ _ _ [Db] Okay, Blue Hotel [E] by Chris Isaac.
_ [B] _ [Am] The song is played in the [G] key of B flat minor.
[A] I have standard tuning [Gb] on my guitar _ and I'll play a B flat minor chord for you.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
Okay, first chord, B flat minor.
You notice my index finger is on the sixth [A] fret, barred all the way [B] across the six strings.
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
The notes are _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
next [B] chord, E flat major.
[Eb] _ _
_ _ _ E flat, [Bb] B flat, [F] E flat, and a [G] G. _ _ _
[Bb] And I'm only [G] playing the inside four strings.
The outer [F] strings [Dbm] are muted.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] And then you play E flat minor.
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Same thing, except you just flatten the [G] third. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
And then you repeat.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Okay, now [Bm] you go down to first position here. _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Okay, the notes.
[Bb] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [B] Okay, when you're playing that, keep your index finger first position there.
[Bb] _ _
_ [Db] _ [F] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[B] Okay, this chord right here.
_ It's a G flat major.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
You [E] know how to make an E major down here.
Make that with your [Bm] middle, ring, and baby finger.
_ [E] Move up _ _ two frets and [B]
you can bar.
[Gb] _ _ That's G flat major.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] Only when I'm playing this, I play the inside four [E] strings.
_ [Db] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Outer strings are muted.
_ _ [F] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [E] And then I play an F major.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] Now I'm playing _ five [C] strings.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Okay, this chord right here is a B flat minor.
Same thing as this, _ but it's [F] just played in a different [Bb] position. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ Hold that for two measures.
[Eb] _ And then we go back up [Bbm] here. _ _ _
B flat minor, _ _ _ [Eb] _
E flat major, [Ebm] _ _ E flat minor.
_ [Bbm] _ _ And you just repeat it.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] Okay, from there you go to a [E] G flat, _ dominant seventh.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Em] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[B] So when you play that G [G] flat with the [Ab] added flat seventh,
[Gb] the _ _ [Bm] notes, [Gb] again, [Bbm] _ _ that's [E] an open E string.
_ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] And that's an F major.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[B] And then it goes right back up here to B flat major.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ Okay, that's all for this lesson.
I hope you enjoyed it.
And [E] thanks for watching.
Bye.
