This is prompted by a nice note that got dropped in my inbox.
And I appreciate it.
Wondering where this part three was at.
And I don't do requests.
I find that as this channel creeps towards triple digit
subscriptions, who'd have thought it?
When I had 50 subscribers, I had 100 requests.
And if I can't do all 100, I'm not doing one.
I'm not doing one.
I'll play this where part two left off.
I'll play the lick sequentially, very slowly.
So slowly it will make your eyes water up or not.
And then I'll play along with it.
And I've edited it down.
[G#] So I'll just include the guitar parts on the play along [N] sections.
It'll take about six minutes, hopefully.
This is from the, and I'm also going to leave out all the
parts that were covered in one and two.
So beginning to think that I'm wasting [B] time.
[E] [C#m] [G#m] [C#m] [B]
[C#] [B]
I don't understand the things I do.
[C#m] [B]
[C#m] [B] [E]
The world outside looks so unkind.
[F#] [B]
[C#] [E]
And that's a [G] D flat minor 7.
Don't play the bottom string.
[G#]
And [C#m] then you're into the, [B] [F#]
which has already
been shown to you.
That sequence continues on with the.
[B] [C#]
[E] And then right here, where previously this lick [N] started
on the G sharp, it starts on the F sharp.
I'll play it slowly.
And [B] [N] then it's the intro.
And since this string [E] is, [D]
[E] yikes, it's flat down here.
You've got the next part is, [N]
you know, a melody, soothe me,
guitar's coming through to soothe me.
That's on the 18th fret, [F#] a D shape, making an F sharp.
And that is a F sharp to a [C] G sharp minor to another [F#] F sharp.
And [C] then thanks to the, and then it breaks down and claps
and [N] so on and so forth.
And then the next time you hear the guitar, it
comes in with.
And what you've got now is the same sequence of chords,
except two frets lower.
We're going to play an [E] E
[F#m] [E]
and that's an E to an F sharp minor
to an E [C#m] to a C sharp minor to an E.
[F#m] [E]
And [N] then you've got, and well, you know what?
I'm going to be out of tune up here, but I want to be in tune
down here, so I'm going to leave it alone.
[B] [C#] [G] [B]
[C#] [B] [A] [F#]

[C#] [B] [F#] [G#m]
[A#m] [G#m] [D#m] [N]
Excuse me.
So play along.
See what happens.
Beginning to think [B] that I'm wasting time.
[F#] [B] I don't understand the things I do.
[C#m]
[B] [A] [E] The world [B] outside looks so unkind.
[C#m] I'm so out of tune.

No melody [B] can move me.

When I'm feeling [E] blue.

[E] Thanks for the joy that you give.
[B] Give me the beat boys, I'm free my [F#] soul.
I'm going to get lost in your rock [B] and roll.
[E] And drift away.
[B]
Oh, [E] [B]

[E]
Give [B]

[F#] I'm going to get lost in.
