hello _ [A] _ loneliness, I think [E] I'm gonna [A] _ cry, bye my [E] love [A] goodbye, _ _ _
[E] there goes my baby _ _ with someone [A] _ new, _ she [E] sure looks happy. _
Okay you [D] thought I was gonna go through the whole song didn't ya?
Nope, I'm just gonna do that one little [F#] part here and here I go.
I'm gonna teach you how to play Bye Bye Love by the Everly Brothers.
Super easy tune, _ _ _ super fun, all that good stuff _ and [D] here we go.
The chords are really easy, the chords are D, _ [A] A, _ [E] and E.
_ Literally that's it.
Now I'm doing this open position part _ _ but when you watch the Everly Brothers do this
live, the one brother's kinda doing some lower stuff here, then the other one is using
the caged system, C-A-G-E-D, I teach that _ _ _ _ in my system, my [G#] unstoppable guitar system.
_ And basically it's using open position chords further up the neck in bar positions.
_ _ [D] But you can check that more out, [E] you can check out the free course, _ _ yourguitarsage.com slash
30, that link for that's below.
Otherwise let's dig into this right now.
[D] So it's gonna go like this, [F#] the strumming rhythm is like 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1,
2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
If you don't know how to count that and you want the ups and downs, _ I can't help ya.
You know why?
Because that's the wrong way to learn things.
You gotta know how to count. _
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
You gotta know where the 1 [Am] is, where the ands are, where the 3, the 4, and the 2 is, you
gotta know that.
And I teach that in that free course, [G] yourguitarsage.com slash 30.
So make sure you check that out and have a battery of _ exercises that you can do that's
gonna help you [F#] do that, okay?
[D] _
Okay, so you're gonna use that [F#] strumming rhythm, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, [C] 2, _ 3, 4.
I'm [F#] also doing some thumb muting [D] for the D [A] chord and the A chord.
[Fm] _ _
That [F#] video can also be found in the free [G] 30 videos, the first 30 videos that I teach all
my students [D] here in Nashville. _
Okay, so here you go.
So the chords are D, [F#] ba, oh, first off, let me show you this beginning part.
_ _ If _ [D] _ _
you want to do that, [D#] it's basically [A] an A, _ _ A major chord, but played at the 12th fret. _
_ And [C] then he does this, _ [A] which is basically [Am] C, D, but [G] he's just playing the two middle
strings at the 5th fret _ and the two middle strings at the [A] 7th fret.
_ [D] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Ba, [A] ba, love, [E] just a fun little intro thing there.
So the chords [D] are D, _ _ ba, ba, love, you should know all these, what I call the nine essential
chords also in that course.
_ [A] Ba, ba, happiness, [D] hello, _ loneliness, I think [E] that I'm gonna [A] cry.
_ _ _ Goodbye, my [E] love, [A] goodbye. _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] There goes my baby.
Here's the verse.
This someone _ new, _ hey, she sure looks e, _ _ _ _ I'm so [A] hung, I don't know the lyric.
_ _ And then it goes to a D. _ _
She was my [D] _ baby, _ [A] _ till he slipped [E] _
in.
_ _ Goodbye to _ _ romance, _ that might have been.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _
Ba, ba, [A] love.
We went into that part again.
So really there [N] is two parts of the song, right?
Yeah, there's a verse and a chorus, and I just taught those to you.
Super easy, super fun.
But now listen, you gotta know those other bits and pieces.
I can't teach them in every single video, because if I did, _ _ no one would watch, because
they would be too lengthy.
So you need some other supplemental things if you're having issues with this, or if it
seems like I went too fast, it's because you don't have some foundational things [Am] that you
must have as a guitar player.
You just have to have them.
[G] _
[G#] I have people ask me these complex [N] questions all the time, and it's like saying, how do
you know, how do you speak Chinese?
_ Well, you start with one word, and then you go to another word, and another word.
But people think [F] that there's some quick way to do it.
There's not.
There's shortcuts, and there's tricks, and that sort of thing, and that helps.
And that's what I teach in that free course there.
