_ _ _ _ _ [G] Hey, what's up you guys Marty Schwartz here guitar [F] jams calm happy to bring you another lesson
_ Got a lot of requests for a dead inspired lesson, so I thought I'd break it down.
You know this band
I love so it's three of the easiest [Gb] chords, and I'm gonna work on that rhythm
With you a bit that I was playing there and then also
_ Gonna keep it simple.
I've got a link from one of my other YouTube [E] channels
For a soloing lesson that's based off this progression, so I'll just leave a link for my other YouTube [N] channel down there
You can check that out, but let's [Em] zoom in and
Break this progression down here [A] we go _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Okay, so we need an a major chord, [D] which is just [Ab] two two two
[A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Then we're gonna play a G chord, and I [N] like to play it this way for this particular progression
_ Third second ring finger on the third of the B.
Pinky on the third of the high E
[G] _ Because we're gonna use this ring finger part of it as a [Eb] transition to the third chord, [A] which is D.
_ [D] _ _ She got a
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ G [D] G G
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
A
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[D] G E
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ That's pretty [D] much the whole song you jam over it you have a good time
_ _ campfire whatever drum circles
[A] _ so
[N] _
We're gonna get a rhythm going now and the way the chords change are a little tricky if you're a beginner if you're not a beginner
You could probably just hear it and kind of [Eb] catch on
But I'm here for everybody
[Gb] _
so
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
Now
We take that rhythm down up down down up up up down up down [N] up we want to figure out what part of that _
_ _ Is gonna be where the switches and the chords [A] are down up down down up up
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
down up down down up up on the a chord _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Down up down down up up _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [A] Okay, so down up down down up up up down up down up _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ Same rhythms [Db] gonna take place between the D and the G _ down up down down up
[G] Down up down up so that up down [Em] up down up [Fm] in that rhythm sequence
I taught you [Dbm] is where the G chord transitions [G] between the a and the D
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ You _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ And _
[A] _ [Abm] when I play it really fast that [Fm] up down up down up that I'm talking about on the G
The first up of [G] that you can take that
beat to switch the chord
[A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ like
_ [G] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Fm] By the way when you're [Gb] strumming real quick with the open cowboy chords a
[E]
Quick open string strum is [Fm] basically a G major chord especially if you're only playing [G] the middle strings _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] All right, that was it remember I've got a soloing lesson on this progression
[E] Right down there, and otherwise we'll see [D] you in another one of these videos
_ _ Shortly take care.
See ya _ _ _ _ _ _ _
