_ _ Hi everybody, it's Corey at Gemini Guitar.
Today this is a Dream Pop lesson and we're
focusing on a melodic type of idea with some mainly add9 chords.
So let's check it out.
Okay, so first let's take a look at the chords.
The first one is an E minor add9, so the middle
is on the first string, first finger is on the fourth string, both at fret 2, we've got
the open third and second string. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Next what we're going to do is a G6, this one's in the
third position, so second string fret 3, fourth fret string 3, fifth fret string 4. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] Okay,
so as for A minor add9 we have 7th on 4th, 5th on 3rd, open [B] 2nd and 7th on string 1. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now for C add9 in the 10th [G] position, so we have fret 8 string [Em] 2, 9th fret string 3, [C] 10th
fret string 4 and 10th fret on string 1. _ _
_ _ Last but not least we have D add9, same thing as
C add9, just move that up a couple of frets.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] In bars 1 and 2 we're focusing on the E minor
add9 chord and the whole riff is made up of what's known as arpeggios, which are basically
the notes of a chord played separately as opposed to simultaneously.
So when we arpeggiate
we pick the notes one at a time.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _
Basically what I'm doing here is alternate picking through
the arpeggio until I reach the first string. _
_ _ _ _ So basically down, up, down, up.
_ _ And at that
point then I'm just going to play the open string, so I'm taking the middle off and playing
string 1, 2, [G] 3 and 2.
So the complete idea [Em] is_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Okay next we have bars 3 and 4.
We pick the triplet, we [Em] pick open 1st, [Bm] 2nd string, 3rd
string, 2nd [G] string, open 1st string.
So _ it's_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay so in bars 5 and 6 we're working with A minor add9.
Okay so here what we're doing
is we're picking the triplet through to the [Am] 7th fret then on string 1, [B] _
then it's open
[E] string 1, open 2nd, 5th [C] fret 3rd, [B] open 2nd.
So now we [Am] get this.
[D] _ [E] _ _ [C] _ Okay in 6th and 7th bar we're working with C add9.
So we pick through the triplet, 10th
fret then on string 1, back to open string 1, and then we just [Em] pick the 2nd string, the
3rd string, and [E] 10th fret again on string 1.
[C] So it's_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And basically everything just repeats then, there's an alternate ending.
So what I do
there is I pick through one lot of the C add9 sequence, _ half of it I really should say because
the other half's cut off there, but same as the first half. _
Then we move that idea up
to the [D] 10th position.
_ [Am] _
_ _ Okay here's everything at slower speed.
[Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay so thus concludes today's lesson.
Hope you've had fun with it, enjoyed practicing
