Chords for Dream Guitars Lesson - "Shakin Her Bacon" - Toby Walker

_ Hey gang, I did this song called shaken or bacon which I wrote _ and
What I wanted well, I wrote that actually I had the chorus and two verses and I sent it to a friend of mine named
Tom Griffith and he finished it up with another verse and a chorus and
He's just about as sick as I am.
So that's why I wanted him to do this, but I want to describe the
The chord progression here because this is a ragtime chord progression
_ It [G] goes from a G
_ _ G 7 [C]
to a C
_ [G] back to the G _ _ _ _ then it goes [E] to a a
[Em] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] D 7
_ [G] _ _ G G 7
_ [C] C and then [G] E [Eb] flat 7 _
_ [G] _ _ _ [E] E 7 _
[A] A 7 [D] G [G] 7 G _ now
_ _ I'm primarily using an alternating
back and forth picking [Eb] going back [G] and forth _ [Bb] and
Here's something too that I do a [N] lot of is I'm going to use my the palm [C] of my hand to give [G] a little muting
_ _ On the strings because I like doing that because when I play on the treble string _ _
_ _ [F] It's a little bit more of a [G] sound separation
_ _ _ _ So for the G chord, I'm kind of going back and forth with the sixth and the fourth string the [C] C chord
I'm going back with [G] the fifth and fourth string
_ When I go down to the E chord, [E] I go back.
Sometimes I usually use the sixth and fourth string _
The A chord I do the [A] fifth string and fourth string and the [Bb] D7.
I'll do the [D] fifth and fourth again
_ [G] G
_ G 7 still on the sixth and fourth string [C] C
When I go to [G] that E flat [Eb] 7, I'll go to the fourth and third [Bbm] string I'll get that
_ [G] _ _ _ And then [E] down to the E7 [A] _ [D] A7
_ [G] _
Now _ _ [E] what I'm putting [Ab] on top of [G] that
_ _ I'm [Gm] really singing at this point
So I don't want to have it get too busy when you're when you're finger picking you don't want to get too busy
_ When you're when you're singing because then people may not really catch the lyrics and they may not even hear the lyrics
[N] _ And then they get mad at you and then they don't pay you and then and then you then you go home and you can't pay
Your bills and then you lose your car your house and then you wind up then you wind up selling
Pencils and and sleeping under bridges.
So this is why you don't want to play [G] too much
Underneath the vocals.
All right, you want to keep the vocals going?
So I'm just doing this _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ just light pinching, you know _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ That's all I'm really doing there
[E] _ _ _ I'll [A] add
Just _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
every now and [C] just hit a note
[G] _ [Eb] Now _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ one other thing I [B] want to mention is when you're going from a G down to an E you can walk [G] that down
[Gbm] _
[F] _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ [F] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ Don't this guitar sound great?
It's a
[Gb] _ [Fm] _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [D] That _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] works _ [F] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ kind of nice when I'm doing that
_ using that E [N] flat 7 the reason I use an E flat [G] 7 I'm going I
_ _ _ [C] Could have just stayed on the C
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ You _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] know, but it _
Here's the thing about putting in [D] E flat 7 [Eb] in there
_ It's gonna take you [G] back to the [Eb] G [G] and _ [Em] that's what we call tension and release [N] all music
_ Make it interesting has tension [Eb] _ and
_ [G] _ _ _
[Ab] Life has tension [Eb] and release
_ it's like breathing in _ and
[G] breathing out _
when you [Eb] breathe in
People now [G] want to breathe out and that that gives this [Ab] sort of interest in music
You know [D] if you were if I was to [G] end the song
It [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ wouldn't [Dm] work.
See you're all tense right [G] now, but if I was her
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ Then that feel better.
That's [Eb] right.
If I had that song like that.
[Ab] I'd be selling [E]
[G] pencils
So what you [Eb] want to do is get
_ [G] _ _ _
Back to there
[Em] So all [F] here's how you can do this in any key to add a little interest if you're gonna [G] end your [E] song
Okay, if you're in the key of G [Eb] use an E flat 7 _ [G] and then end it in G
Now that [N]
relationship between the G and the a [G] flat 7 _
_ [Em] _ _ You if [N] you want to do in the key [C] of C
_ You can [G] use an [Ab] a flat 7 _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [Ab] _
and go to the [G] g7 [Am] _ [G] let's get [C] seen a _
_ _ [Ab] _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] a flat [Ab] 7
_ [G] G 7 _ [C] C
So you can end a song [Bb] most people would end a song [G] in the key of C hitting a [C] g7
Just _ [G] _ _ before they go back to that C chord
[C] _ _ _ [G] in the G 7 _ _ C
_ [C] _ _
But if you really [Ab] want to
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ So that's how you'd end it in the key of C [Em] and I got that by going up to the fifth from the C [C] chord
[F] _ [G] _
_ [C] _ [F] C [G] 4 5 there's my G G 7 [C] 2 C and then go one fret [Ab] higher
a flat [G] 7 [C] 7
_ Same thing in the key of [G] G in [A] G
[B] _ [D] _ 1 2 3 4 [G] 5 you're in the key of G go up to the [A] 5
[C] _ [D] _ That's a D note, _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Eb] but now make it interesting one fret [G] higher from a d7 is an e [Eb] flat 7
[D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
regal
_ [D] It's [G] _ _ _
almost as [Eb] if you should get a robe
_ [D] _ _
_ [G] Can you play [Eb] for the Queen [D] I? _
[G] _ Didn't play for the Queen actually I play for the Queen of England
_ [D] _ [G] Play for the Queen of England is what I did.
It's what I did.
Well.
She believes she said she was the Queen _ _ _
