How's it going?
Thimbar here from Thimbar Bass.
Do some ACDC today, Highway to Hell.
So I have a very appropriate guitar for this song and let me show you why.
If you look right down over [A#] here, if you look at these little [A#m] inlays,
[E] see, at first glance you might think [Cm] that those are cute little birds, but they're [C] actually not.
They're actually bats.
That's [N] right.
The Schechter bass has the bats on the inlays.
Perfect for Highway to Hell.
Bass is going straight to hell, obviously.
[D#] All right.
So anyway, just let you know real quick, [B] you can click right down on [C] the
[C#]
[N] That's them telling you in dog language, but in human language, if [F#] you
[E] Puppies.
If you click down on the little YouTube [G] text box down there, you can get three [N] free lessons.
Don't cost you anything.
For bass.
Beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
Whatever you need.
Let's go ahead and jazz this bass line up a little bit.
He doesn't actually play in the studio recording
during the beginning parts of the guitar, but
let's go ahead and show you how to play over the guitar for those parts anyway, because it's just boring if you just sit there
and [C] don't do anything.
So the first three notes, take a look [N] at my old hand, are
[D] Do three open notes of the A [A] string.
[Fm] Just like that.
And then you're going to do the F
[F#] second fret of the E string twice,
followed by the third fret of the E string.
[G] [A] Just like that.
So far you have
[F#] [G]
[F#] and then you're going to repeat that.
[A] See that?
So it's
[G] And then you're going to hit
[F#] [D] second fret, second fret, then third fret.
And then [B] repeat that second set.
Second fret, second fret, third [F#] fret.
[G] Then go back to [F#] the second fret, the E string, [G#] for just one.
And then [A] two on the open A.
[F#]
[G] [A]
[G] Just like that.
And then for when the lyrics come in, you're going to do 12 [C] hits on the open E [E] string.
[D] Just like that.
And [C#] then
Make sure you can see my hand [A] here.
When [F] he starts singing,
Highway to Hell, what he does is hits [F#] the fifth fret of the E string, just like [A] this.
So you get a picture of
[B] You want to hear it out of tune.
[Am] But what some people do, and what's more fun to do live, is just basically play more notes.
[D] Just [F#] like that.
But anyway, [A] he goes
[A] And then you're going to hit
[G#] and that's actually [A] six times.
[G] And then you're going to hit the
[N] fifth fret of the D string, and then the fourth fret of the D string.
So it sounds [A] like this.
[F#] [A]
[G] [F#] And you're going to do [D] that three times, and then on the fourth time you're actually going to hit the fifth fret and then the seventh fret.
[A]
[B] Just like that.
So somewhere around the third chorus,
[F] I [Gm] believe.
He throws some extra notes in there.
Not a whole lot, but maybe something [A] like
[F#] [A]
[B] And what I'm doing there is
he's moving to the fourth fret of the A string, then the seventh fret of the A string,
and then back to the [F#] fifth fret of the D string, and then the fourth fret of the D [A] string.
[G] [F#] Something like that.
[A]
So there you have it.
[D] Not much else.
ACDC, [G#] Bad Out of Hell.
Oh, I said Bad Out of Hell!
Ha!
Thinking about my little bad inlays.
It's ACDC, Highway to Hell.
How funny.
So anyway, thanks a lot for listening.
Again, click on the little [D#] clicker down there in the YouTube text box,
and I can get three free [F] lessons that aren't on YouTube.
I'm Finn Barr from Finn Barr Bass.
Thank you [D#] so much, and as always, have fun!
