[B] _ Hi there, it's Colin Daniel.
I'm from riffninja.com
_ I'm gonna give you a _ lesson on a great classic tune, _ Dear Mr.
Fantasy
_ originally done by _ _ Steve Winwood and Traffic _ _ and
_ Also done by Big Sugar, a Canadian band that's very cool and hip and Gordie Johnson and Big Sugar.
Check it out.
I've never heard that version _ _
I'm gonna base it on the original in the standard tuning _ _ _ and it's
_ Not too many chords.
It's like four chords all together
_ _ The main part of the song is [A] three chords A major [G] G major
D [D] major and [A] A major
_ _ [Em] There's a cool little bass riff that goes in between that [C] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[G] you should know that too that helps a lot
Although you could just strum through it, but I'll show you the bass riff too.
So you kind of get that down it goes
E G [Am] A
So open sixth [G] string
_ close on the sixth string third [A] fret
_ Open on [E] the A which is the fifth string.
So [G] E G A
And then up to the D or up to the C.
That's a third [C] fret _ _
[A] _ [Em] so E [Am] G A C A C
[Em] [C] G A C A C
[E] _
_ [G] _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ [Am] _
[E] Open E [G] third fret E string which is third [D#] fret sixth [A] string
_ open fifth string
[C] _
Third fret fifth [A] string open
_ fifth [C] third
_ [E] [G] So [A] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _
_ then it goes right [A] back to the A. _ _
_ Here's your A [G] major
_ Here's your G major
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
There's your D
[G] [A] Now _ your [Em] riff.
[Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ All right _
It's one more [B] part to learn.
It's the bridge part _
There's not really a chorus in this song
It's all kind of one this one riff that keeps cycling through but they do go through the changes and it's in the bridge
_ [F#m]
And if you don't know any bar chords, you can use power chords.
[Bm] It's one way I get around it for [E] my students, [F#] but it's F sharp
_ four shots on the F [G#m] sharp and G sharp minor [A] _ and A [E] major so F [F#] sharp minor
so _ _ _ _ [G#m] _
[A] _ _ [F#m] F [F#] minor _
G _ [G#m] _ [A] sharp A major
F [E] sharp and G sharp minor this F sharp minor take your second finger off right and [A] for the major
Your second finger back down.
Okay does that [F#m] three times? _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ [A] _ _
You
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ Now the fourth time it does this still goes to the F [F#] sharp _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] Instead of going to a G sharp.
It goes to a G [G] major one fret up from the F sharp _
So you got to put your second finger down and make a G major _ so [F#] goes
_ _ G _ [G] major one and two and three and four [E] and he makes _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Back _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em]
All [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ [D#] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ right, dear.

Fantasy.
