Chords for Free Guitar Lesson Bon Jovi Dead or a Alive

_ _ Okay, good people, get out your spandex and your aquanet hairspray.
Let's go back to the 80s for a little in the vein of Dead or Alive, Bon Jovi.
I am here at the 12th fret and this lick, intro lick, is in the key of D.
You're going
to play the same picking pattern through the whole lick all the way down the neck.
The key is your finger position.
That's why I'm in nice and tight with the camera to give you a close shot of this.
The strings you are going to be hitting in [Bm] this order is always the open [D] D, then you're
going to be hitting the G string, you're going to skip over the B, [Dm] and then the high
E, and then back to the G.
[G] Okay, here's the first [N] four notes.
Okay, I'm playing _ [Am] 14th fret on the G string, which is an A [D] note, and _ 13th fret [Bb] on the high
E string, _ _ which is an F note.
And here's the picking pattern.
[Dm] _ _ _
I'm [D] going to zoom the camera in even tighter so you can see this one and then I'm going
to zoom it out for the other ones. _ _ _ _
[N] Okay, so you can see this finger position.
This is what you want.
First finger, second finger.
_ [Dm] Okay, _ let me get my other two fingers out of the way. _ _
_ Down, down, up, up, skip over the Bs.
You've got to skip strings.
So I'm picking it like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, _ _ _ _ then I'm [D] going to move this down a whole step, but I'm going to add my third finger.
See, on _ [E] that E note [N] now.
So that's why I want you to keep this one-two fingering down though.
Don't lift it up because we're going to be playing another interval where you're going
to lift off the third finger.
See, so all the [Eb] licks are either like this or like this pretty [Dm] much.
So _ _ _ [D] there's _ your first two.
Do that again, same picking [Dm] pattern. _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ Then slide down another whole step.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _
Okay, [G] let's try those three again.
[Dm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
Running out [A] of real estate on the [Gb] camera, so I'm going to have to zoom it out a little
bit as we're going to work down the neck a little bit more. _
So you can see the rest of these intervals that he's playing.
Okay, [Fm] so again, here's the first [Dm] _ interval. _
_ _ Then the next four [D] notes. _
_ Then you're going to slide down, keeping your third finger on the fretboard and [Eb] your first finger.
Slide down [Dm] a whole step. _ _
Same picking pattern.
[D] Then a half step and pick off your third finger.
_ [Ab] _ _ Then slide this whole [D] thing down to the fifth fret and add the third finger again.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ Okay, then a half a step, _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ take the third finger off and then hit them both [F] _ and _ then slide
_ _ a whole step.
Let's do the whole [Gb] thing again.
I'm losing you in the camera just a little bit because I can't get the whole fretboard
in that tight.
Sorry about that.
Let's try it one more time.
Okay, [Dm] so here it is again. _ _
Slow.
_ _ _ Remember, you're using your first second finger for most of it and you're adding your third
finger on the high E string mainly. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ [Dm] _ _ That last little bit. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [N] Okay, that's important, that fingering.
It makes it easy because you're just adding the third finger or taking it away.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] So start off with the second finger on [Dm] the 14th fret.
_ _ Whole step down, add your third [D] finger.
_ _ Whole step [Dm] down.
_ _ Half step [D] down, take off your third finger.
_ [Am] _ _ Now go down _ one, two, three, four frets, major third.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] Half step down, remove your third finger.
[G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ Okay, _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ I hope you like that.
Rock on.
We'll see you in the next lesson and _ practice, practice, practice.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ And no more sputters.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
