_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ This is a guitar lesson for George Harrison's My Sweet Lord, the easy way and the correct way.
Make sure your guitar is in standard E tuning.
_ Then take your [D#] capo, put it on the second fret like so.
_ And this song is very easy, okay?
It's just a couple chords you've got to know and a couple funky chords [D] thrown in there too.
Alright, so the song starts off with E minor A, [F#m] okay?
So, _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ alright.
I'll slow [D] it down so you can see the strumming pattern, okay?
So, _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
so.
Down, down, down, up, down, [B] up, up, down, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, [B] down,
up. _ _ _ _ _
Alright?
That's the strumming [A] pattern for that part of the song.
Then it goes into D, [E] B minor.
So we go.
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ [E] D.
I'm sorry.
D. _ _
[C#m] B minor.
_ [E] D. _
[C#m] B minor.
_ _ Alright, for that part it's.
[E] Down, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up.
Down, down, up, down.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ So down, down, down, up, down on D, then on B [C#m] minor.
_ _ _ [G] It's basically, it's essentially the same strumming pattern, okay?
So now the song starts off, and it's still the same thing.
E minor to A.
[F#m] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _
Alright?
Then we do the D, B minor [E] thing. _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [D] Alright?
The next part, [B] this goes on for a little bit.
[C] And then the next part, there's a key change, alright?
And we don't go back to this original key.
Okay?
And how that works is you can hear it in the song.
So listen to the original recording
and a little bit [E] in it goes D,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
D7, which is [C] your ring finger on the second fret E string,
middle finger on the second fret [A] G string
and pointer finger on the [E] first fret B string. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Then it goes D diminished to _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ B7
[F#] and then to E major and _ [F#m] then to [D#m] C sharp.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ _ And we're in a new key [B] now, okay?
We don't go [Fm] back, all right?
So I'll show [A] you that again, okay?
So it's whole [E] D, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ D7. _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] All right, now we go to D diminished,
which [E] is your pinky on the second fret E string,
ring finger on the second [G#m] fret G string,
middle finger on the first fret B string
and pointer finger on the first fret,
what's that, the D string, okay?
So we [B] go, _ _ this is only half a [G#m] count
going to be on D diminished.
And then you just [B] move your middle finger off
and you bring it down to the second fret A string
and that's gonna give you a [C#] B7. _
All right, so D diminished [F] _ to B7. _
So we go, _ _ _ [E] let's see. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ All _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] right, so now we're in E major [C] and C sharp minor, okay?
There's one little change.
We actually do this, we do, it's [C#] that same diminished chord
but we're gonna move it up two frets, [A#] okay?
So we have it right here.
[D#] And now when we go into [B] the next part,
it's going to be like [G] this.
It's going to be the same thing down here,
just moved up two frets.
Remember how we switched our [C] middle finger to make the B7?
You can do the same thing up here, up two frets.
So you [G] go, _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ [C] then we go F sharp minor [G#m] _ to [C#] B. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ All right, [B] aside from that,
those are all the parts of the song.
All you gotta do is just listen to the track
and piece them in where they go, okay?
