[D] [E] [G] Oh hey, I didn't see you there.
I'm Joshua [D] Duchesne.
I'm the guitarist on Where the Water Tastes Like Wine.
[Em] Today I'm going to be teaching you a little bit about how to play some of the tunes from the game.
This particular song [D] is Rail Hot.
[Em]
This tune is a fun, upbeat, fast-paced song about riding the rails across the countryside.
In part [Bm] one of this [D] series, I'm going to be teaching [B] you the core elements of the song,
including [G] things like the chords that are [A] used, as well as the strumming pattern.
Alright, so I'm going to start by showing you a little chunk of the [G] song so [Em] you'll know
what you're learning today, and then we'll hop into some of the core [E] pieces of it.
So I'll just kind of play a little riff [G] from the beginning of the tune.
[E]
[G] [E] [C]
[E] Alright, so I'm going to [G] tell you some of the core things you might want to know about [Bm] the song.
The time signature for Rail Hoppin' is 4'4 swing time.
The tempo is 105 [E] beats per minute, but I prefer setting my metronome to 210 beats per minute
since it's a fast-paced song.
The tuning is standard [G] guitar tuning, E-A-D-G [Em]-B-E.
The song is in the key of E minor.
The chords used are E5, G5, A5, B5, C5, and D5.
If [G] you notice, these are all 5th chords, or [B] root 5ths, otherwise known as [G] power chords,
so if you can play a basic power chord, you can already play all the chords needed for the song.
[Em] I designed this [E] chord chart and I made it available as a free downloadable PDF through
a link [Em] in the description below.
Check it out and let me know if you find this kind of thing helpful.
So [A] here's all the [B] chords you'll use.
[G] [E] E5, G5, A5, A5 [B] alternative voicing, B5, [G] B5 alternative voicing, [E] C5, and D5.
Those are the chords [G] for the entire song.
So now that we've got the chords down and some of the core elements, we'll get into
the strum pattern.
The strum pattern for this song is really fun.
It's got some chunkiness to it as well as the nice swing time feel, so it gives it that
feeling of riding [E] on the rails with that heavy downbeat on the 1, and then you've got this
fun swing timey thing happening on 3 and 4 and 4 and.
So I'll show you that all together here.
You've [F#] got the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 1, 2, 3, [N] 4, and 1.
And so the way that breaks down is on the downbeat 1, you palm mute.
So that is going to happen on almost every single 1 throughout the song, and it's what
gives it that k-kunk feel, like when you're on a train and you get the k-kunk, k-kunk,
k-kunk.
On 2, you're going to play the same chord that you're on, but open.
So we'll just use this E5 as an example.
[E] So 1, 2, 1, 2.
So the second half of that is the 3 and, 4, and 4 and.
So I'll show you that all together slowly.
1, 2, 3, and 4, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 1, 2, 3, and 4, and 1, 2, 3, and 4, and 1, 2, 3,
and 4, and 1.
2, 3, 4, and 1.
[N] Now there's a variation that I do in here that gives it even more of a kind of pulling feel.
So what I do is on 4, I actually [G] hit this G note.
I use my middle finger here to hit this G note and I pull it.
[G#m] And then I [G] release it on 4 and.
[E] And that leads me back to [N] that chunky 1.
And so I'm not actually playing the 4 and when I'm doing the E5 chord here using this G note.
And I'll show you what that looks like slowly first.
[E]
1, 2, 3, and 4, and 1, 2, 3, and 4, and.
Yeah, [N] wow!
So make sure you give that note a nice bend before you release it on the 4 and.
It gives it a nice like, mmm, dirty and raw sort of feel.
Like you're sitting in a train car, sweaty and dusty and traveling across the country,
but you don't care [E] because you're moving along.
All right, so now we've got the chorus drum pattern down.
You've seen all the chords that are used for the song.
You know, the key and the tempo and the swing time.
So I'm just going to play a little bit more of it for you here.
And yeah, we'll go from there.
[G] [E] [G]
[E]
[Em] Yeah, so that's pretty much all you need to know for the core elements of this song.
In Part 2, we'll be going over the actual chord structure for the song.
[G] And in Part 3, we'll [Em] go over the solo lead line.
