Marty Schwartz here with Marty Music.
We're going to learn Amos Lee, Arms of a Woman.
Really pretty song with some cool little techniques.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
Also you can sign my _ newsletter at martymusic.com and get some free courses that will help you out.
The first comment down there will take you there and I really appreciate that.
Anyway, let's get to it.
Alright, we start with an A major chord _ _ _ _ _ _ and the rhythm are in counts of six.
_ One, two, three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
_ _ _ [G#] _
And then we're going [D] to go to a D chord.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
_ _ Then [G] back to A for the [A] same thing. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] And then now we go to E major.
And I'm going to show you some other ways to pick this in a second.
_ _ Three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
And then here's this little turnaround that happens.
We're going to play an F sharp minor chord.
So you bar the second fret _ and _ play an E minor looking shape.
So you can take your middle finger and press it up against your index finger together. _
[F] _ _ And then you've got four on the A and four on the [F#m] D. _ _ _ _ _
Five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
_ _ Then [E] E major.
_ _ _ _ Three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Then D, E, A.
[Dm] _ One, two, three, four, five, [E] six.
Switch to three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
[A] One, two, three, four, five, six.
_ [N] And then it starts over.
So I'm going to walk you through it right now from the top.
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ A _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] to D. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Back to [A] A. _ _ _ _
_ Six, one, two, three, four.
Then to E.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ F sharp minor _
[F#m] to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then D to E.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] Then to A. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] Starts over [E] _ here.
[A] Two, four, five, six.
Okay.
[F] _ So now what you can do is you can do what are called arpeggios where you pick the notes of the chord.
_ And if you just keep thinking that one, two, three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
You can really pick [F#] any of the notes.
_ But I believe what they're doing on the song [A] is _ so _ _ _ _ _ it's like A, D, G, B and E together.
_ And then back down like this. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ G, D, _ A. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ This is something really good to practice. _ _
[Em] And then when you go to perform it or you're playing at a party or a dorm room, whatever. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ If you're just thinking that one, two, three, four, five, six.
You can pick any of the notes.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] And I would say just try and hit the root note on each chord.
So the A chord, it's the A [A] string.
_ The D chord, it's the D [Dm] string.
_ _ The E chord [N] is the _ E [E] string. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ One bar [C#m] chord is good [C] to start _ _ [A#]
getting yourself into bar chords.
_ So that's the whole song over and over.
There's a little kind of arrangement thing.
So basically the guitar solo is E to A, E to [E] A.
So _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ back to [F#m] the turnaround and the vocals come right back in.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And on the E, [Bm] you can add your pinky to the second fret of the [E] G string.
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's just a pretty little suspended fourth. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ It goes through the whole thing again, but then finally it [D] repeats D to E.
Which is like E, _ _ [E] E, _ _ E, _ [G] _ [D] D, _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ E, _ _ _
[D] _ D, _ _ _ _ [E] _
E.
Then that F sharp minor, which is [F#m] really cool.
Go _ _ _ _ _ _ back _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ home.
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ All right, there was the lesson.
I hope you enjoyed it.
