[N] [Eb] [F]
What's [Gb] up guys, Brandon [F] Slavinsky here and [Em] this is your awesome tutorial video for [Am] Violin
Femmes' Blister in the Sun.
[F] Cool guitar song for you [G] guys, check it out.
So all you're going to do,
[C] that's the pattern right?
[Bb] So this is what you're going to do.
[Gm] Middle finger, third fret on the low E string.
And then you're going to take your index finger [B] on the second fret of the A string.
[G]
And then [Gm] what you're going to do [C] is use the third [B] fret on the A string and go down a half
step to the second [G] fret.
[C] [B]
One more [G] time.
[C] [B]
[G] So [C] [G]
[C] [B] [G] [C]
[G] [D] that's the pattern.
I'll [G] do it again.
[C] [G]
[C] [B] [G] [C]
[G] [D] But it's played [E] much [G] faster.
[Bb] And I'm actually [Eb] picking down and [G] up on that when I'm going back to the E.
[C]
Down, [B] [G] down.
[C] [Bm]
You can do up on it if you want to.
[Ab] Whatever makes you feel comfortable as long as you get the pattern [G] proper.
[C]
[G] [C] And so all I'm doing is I'm planning down my middle finger on that third fret.
[G]
[C] Because [Gb] it's already there.
Instead of trying to [G] use like a different finger.
[B] That just feels awkward and [G] uncomfortable.
[Bm] So that's the intro [G] right?
Now what we're going to do is we're going to kind of simplify it [E] so that all acoustic
players can play [G] it.
We're going to start off with a G.
3 2 3 3. And then we're going to do a C. [C] Which is mute 3 2 1 0. [G] [C]
[G] [C] [G]
Then we're going to pretty [F] much take that rhythm that we were [G] using [C] [G] and [C] [G] [C] [G] we have to make sure that we [Eb] match that rhythm [G] with the chords. [C] [G]
So let me kind of slow that down for you. [C]
[G] Slower. [C] [G]
Now if you're [C] more advanced and you want to do [G] the other part. [C]
Because I know [Gb] there's other guitar parts that are going on over [G] that. All you're going to do is you're going to go up to the fifth fret [Em] of the D string [G] index finger and play the exact same [C] pattern. [B] [G] Just up the octave. [C] [G] That's for advanced players. [C] Just for you guys. And then, [Gb] so that's the verse [G] right? When I'm [C] walking [G] I strut [C] my stuff [G] and [C] I'm so strung [G] out. I'm high as [C] a kite [G] I just might as well check you out. Just [F] between those two. And then it goes to the [Em] chorus. E minor. Which is going to [E] be 2 2 0. [Em] Let me go on like [C] a blister in the sun. So you're going to go to a C. Let me [Em] go on. Big hands [C] I know [A] you're the one. To a D. You're going to mute 2 3 2. [D] So let me go [Em] on like [C] a blister in the sun. Let me [Em] go on. Big hands I know you're [D] the one. If you want [G] to add on that pinky, you just put it on the third fret. [D] And [G] that's it guys. That's the song. That's all you [C] need to know. That'll take you through the verse. [B] That'll take you through the chorus. And it'll take you everywhere you need to go. So [Bb] that's it [G] for now. Until [B] next time. [Ab] Peace. Hey [G] guys, thank you so much for joining us today.
