Right then, I've just put a tissue on my head to stop me drowning in sweat.
So, back again.
We've just gone
OK, then we're just going to go back to our D and G strings again.
[C]
Exactly the same as we did on the first bit, on the first part of the first verse.
There's not a gap this time, we just do it slightly
Well, it goes straight in, so we [G] have
[C] So we're back up there to position 1 on the 5th fret, and we do exactly the same as we did before.
OK, so I'll just quickly run through that [G] again.
[C]
[G] Then we're going to do this shortened version of the first one that we did,
where we're using our G, well predominantly using our G and E strings.
So we're just going to do exactly the same again, we've got our A there,
there's our 5th fret on the E string,
it's actually a G note, but
Like that, and we're just going to slide it down.
Like that.
So we're using the G and the E together.
So the melody line with the E string is
And the G string goes
And then we're just going to go on to the 2nd fret of the G string and go
Just bend it up.
Bend it up to the B note.
OK?
So the G string melody goes
And the E string melody goes
Like that.
Then we're going to use another exactly the same sort of riff again that we've used before.
So we're building into it,
[G]
[D] [G] [D]
exactly [G] the same as before, open A,
hammering on to the 2nd fret of the A string and sliding up to the 4th fret.
[D] Or using your G string, so we're [G] sliding open, 2nd to 4th,
and then playing the D note, or if you want to, the G note, or both of them.
Like that, or
[D]
Or [G] Like that.
So here, we're going from position 1 there, all the way up to the 7th fret.
OK?
[D]
And this time, we're doing something slightly different.
We're going to play a couple of harmonics.
[G] Very clear on the record.
I didn't spot it, first of all,
but the more you listen to it, the more you can hear it.
So while we've [D] gone
[G] We're going to do a harmonic on the D string and the G string on the 12th fret.
Like that.
So, hopefully, if you don't know how to do a harmonic,
we've got plenty of little lessons there to show you how to do them,
but we're just going
And after we've done that 2nd harmonic, we're going to play an open G string.
Like that.
So it goes
If you're brave, you can go
But I find that rushes it a little bit.
It's the same notes there.
So what we have is
[D]
[G]
We're going to finish off with a little riff that goes
And all we're doing, we've played the open G,
then we're going to go to the 4th fret of the G,
slide down to the 2nd fret of the G,
and then hammer, pull off for the open G.
I find it easier to go
Like that.
I just
Play it however you like.
I think Cliff Richard slides it
But you can go
So that bit [D] is
[G] Alright?
So, let's build up where we've come to up there.
So, so far, we have this for the 2nd part.
[C]
[D] [G]
OK?
Done that again, haven't I?
Now we're going to build into the chorus bit
by playing a G chord which is just open.
[D]
[G] Just building it up slowly,
using the [F#] A string as your root note,
because that's now tuned to a [G] G,
and just building it up slowly,
and then we go into the chorus.
So, I'm now going to play that 2nd half of the verse for you,
nice and slowly.
And then, the next time you can visit me,
we'll be doing the chorus.
OK, here we go.
[C]
[G]
[D]
And then it builds up into the chorus,
where we've got another set of riffs and little leady licks,
and some different chords to show you as well.
So, I hope you found that really useful.
Put those two bits together,
and then you can play along with me in the intro.
But as I always say, put your own spin on it.
You know how to play it, you'll learn how to play it.
Put the odd different little bit in here and there,
because, you know, it makes you a better guitarist,
but still, people will still know what you're playing.
Right, that's all for this lesson then.
Next time I'll see you, we'll be banging through the chorus.
So, signing off, and ciao for now.
[N]
So, back again.
We've just gone
