Chords for Gary Clark Jr. - Grinder - Electric Guitar Lesson

[A] _ _ _ Real quick before we begin I'll talk a little bit about amp settings.
Basically
just turn the distortion way up, turn the treble down a little bit, and turn the
bass up a bit.
And basically just mess around with those settings [Ab] until you get
a sound that [D] sounds something like this. _ _ _ _
[G] It's a real crunchy kind of bassy distorted
sound.
_ _ [Em] And the first _ chord [Ab] is just a power chord [D] on the fifth fret A string.
[E] Just a D major chord.
[D] _ _ [F] And you hit that twice.
[D] _ _
_ [Em] And then one last time for a total
of three.
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ Then you go down to the C which is first finger on the third fret [C] A
string.
_ _ [Ab] Hit that once and then back [Dm] up to the fifth fret.
So _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] [Em] and that's played
throughout the majority of the song right there.
Now moving on [E] to the next
part is basically just a small [C] change.
It goes from [D] this _ _ _ [C] which _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ is just on the
sixth fret low E string.
_ _ _ Three hits again and then hit that one more time. _ _ _
[A] And then
down to the fifth fret _ _ _ and _ then back up to [C] the third on the A _ _ [D] _ _
all the way up to
the fifth.
So that whole section sounds like this.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
And throughout the song [A] his
second guitarist or actually Garret Clark himself will go [Gm] like this.
[A] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] Which is
just first finger on the 10th fret B string and your second and third finger
on [Em] the G string on the 12th and 11th.
So [E] and hitting both of these strings at the
same [G] time.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] And then bending [A] your second and third finger up. _
_ _ [Em] _ Just like that. _ _
_ _ You
can also alternatively _
[G] _ slide _ [Dm] _ _ up with your second or first finger to the 11th
sorry the 10th fret on the high E from the 8th [G] fret.
So _ _ sort of similar.
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ But the
solo is basically in that pentatonic.
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Am] He just sort of messes around in there.
So like _ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] and _ _ _ you sort of make your own
stuff up.
It's really sporadic as most of his stuff is.
_ But it's really fun to
play and sort of mess around in that little pentatonic create your own stuff.
_ Obviously he goes out of it now and then but that's the majority of where it is.
Just sort of notes within [Em] there.
Usually on the D and the G [A] string.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ [Bm] _ You just sort
of mess around with that.
But that's the entire song right there.
It's just [A] those
simple power [F] chords and then the little solo stuff that does in between.
Hope you
