Start Jamming...
Hi, welcome to 5-minute guitar lessons.
In today's lesson, we're gonna learn Demons by Imagine Dragons
And that's on the album Night Visions, which was released in 2013
This song uses a capo on the third fret.
So when I'm putting my capo on
I'm always sure to put it just beside the fret if you put it too far
Doesn't sound very good.
So you want to get a nice [G] tight grip?
So all your strings are nice and clean
Also before we get started take a moment to look in the description
There's a link to our chord chart, which will help you follow along with this lesson and the original recording.
All right, here we go
Here are the chords.
We'll need to know for this song
[Eb]
[Ab] C F
[Bb] G [Cm] and A minor
[Eb]
Now we can try playing through the verse together.
We're just gonna do four down strokes per measure
one two three four
The
[Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] [Cm]
[Ab]
strumming pattern in this song goes down down up up [Eb] down up
[Gb] And we can divide that into two [F] parts and learn them separately first
we have down down up [Eb] and then we have up down up and
[F] Putting that all together.
We have down down up up [Eb] down up
Now [Ab] let's try that out over the chords to the verse
one two three four
[Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] [Cm]
[Ab]
[Eb] So this song uses the capo on the third fret
So our first chord is C and even [C] though we're using a C shape here.
It's not actually a C chord anymore
It's only a C chord when we're playing it in the open position
now it's a C chord all the notes that it that make it up or C, [E] but as we move the capo up and
[G] We're playing an entirely different set of notes the notes [Gb] here are [Eb] different than the notes here
We're playing now an E flat chord and let's say that at capo 3 the song is too high for your voice
You just can't reach the highest notes.
Well, all you have to do is just lower the capo one two frets
You could even take it off
It all depends just you just have to go through trial and error and just try it out and see where your voice sits best
and likewise if your voice is a bit higher you might want to
Capo up a bit higher the rest of the song uses the [Gb] same chords
So let's try out [E] the pre-chorus and chorus at full [Cm] speed now one two [Eb] three four
[Bb] [Cm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] [Cm] [Ab]
