Hi, Dave Jones here again.
We're going to look at a classic song, one of my, well it's hard to say favourite song of all time, but it's an absolutely fantastic song from the film The Blues Brothers.
It's called Everybody Needs Somebody.
Unfortunately it's got a bar chord in for those of you who don't like bar chords yet, but generally speaking the chords in it are relatively easy, apart from the bar chord.
So, E, [A] A, [D] D, and then that's it most of the way through.
It's like a riff on chords, which is quite a fun thing to do.
[Gm] And then there's a little mid 8th section, it's the sometimes I feel like, feel a little sad inside, something like that in the vocal line there, I can't remember it quite, but it goes to C sharp [C#m] minor for 2 bars, [A] A for 2 [C#m] bars, C sharp minor for 2 bars, and [B] then B7 for 2 bars.
You can either play B7 as an open chord or if you're into bar chords, you can play it as a bar [N] chord.
And then it goes back into this riff again.
So, there's probably no need for a close up on this, I'll shout the chords out, but it's a great riff on chords.
Don't worry, I'll show you a strumming pattern that will make it sound like the riff, but just try, sometimes it's nice if you can just strum something and make it sound like what you're hearing, the rhythm you're hearing in your head.
Don't worry too much about whether it's going down or up, just try and recreate that rhythm.
So here we go, so this is the song, everybody needs somebody, I'm sure you can just whack it on YouTube and you'll see the Blues Brothers doing it, it's fantastic.
So, here we go, this is basically the whole song, verses and choruses, apart from this little mid 8th section which I'll go through in a minute.
So [E] this is your riff, it's 2, 3, 4, [A] [D] [A]
[D] [A]
[D] [A] [E] [D] [A]
constantly throughout the whole song.
So, I've got, as usual, the PDF, I've done it in a chord sequence because it doesn't really warrant a tap and stuff.
So what I'm doing there is I'm playing E, going down, down, and a little bit of muting, sort of muting on it.
I, [D] D, [C] and then back to I and I'm going down, [A] up, down.
[F#] [E]
Down, down, [A] E, down, down, [D] I, down, down, [A] D, down, up, down, [E] I.
[A] [D]
[E] [D]
And that's the basic strumming pattern that will sort of suit with the song.
Sometimes I'm putting, when I'm playing it and just going for it a bit, I'm putting the odd upstroke in there as well, but it really doesn't matter.
Providing your hand's moving at the constant speed of the song, it doesn't matter if you put the odd upstroke in there, as long as you only stay on the chords for the correct duration.
Two beats on E, two beats on A, two [E] beats on D, two beats on A.
[A] [E] As [A] I'm playing this,
[E] [A] I'm changing the strumming pattern [A] deliberately so.
[E]
Deliberately so, just to show you, it doesn't really matter.
[N] You could sing over the top of that, but I'm changing the strumming pattern as I go.
So that's quite a cool strumming pattern and it'll get you changes fast if you're a [A] relative novice and you're learning to change between E, A, and D.
Don't worry about [E] the bridge, just keep [A] playing there, [E] [A]
you'll get [Cm] the changes.
Then as I said, the mid 8th section moves into C sharp minor, and [C#m] sometimes I feel like you can use a down, down, up, up, down for that, there's no riff on those chords.
So it goes, 2, 3, 4, A, [A]
[C#m] C sharp minor again, [B] B7 for [E] [A] [D]
[A] [D] [A] the rest of the song.
I think it goes into that mid [C#m] 8th a few times, so that's C sharp minor, down, up, down, up, [A] A, down, down, [C#m] up, C sharp minor, [B] B7, and riff.
[A] [D]
[A] [D] [C] If there are any chords in there that you don't know, please check them out on the website.
All the chords that I've put up on any of the songs or any of the lessons will be on the website somewhere, either under the chords or under the lessons.
Just have a look around and you'll find them.
So I hope you find that useful, great song, a lot of fun, and I'll see you [N] again sometime.
