How to Play "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors on Guitar chords
Start Jamming...
What's up guys, it's Thomas from Radius and we are doing Two Princes, Spin Doctors.
Throwback to the 90s, yeah.
Alright here [D] we go.
[Bm] [A] [G]
[D] [Bm] [A] [G]
[C] Oh [D] [B] one two, [Em] princes kneel before [G] you, that's what I [D] said now.
We're up to D.
90s bar chords, [Bm] that's 90s for you.
Alright center period distortion, we're up here on the 10th fret, [D]
pointing to [G] it with
my pointer finger.
Then we're doing [Dm] 12th fret, 12th fret.
[D] 10, 12, 12.
10, 12, 12.
And I'm going to do the full chord, so it's 10, 12, 12, middle finger on the G string
on the 11th fret, and then 10, 10, all with this guy, our pointer finger.
[Em] So [D] I'm going to play that twice, two eighth notes.
And then I'm [B] going to do a little, [Bm] so I can slide down three frets, two, seven nine nine,
but this time I'm going to lift up my middle finger and I'm going to do seven, seven seven
seven back here.
[E] And it's going to be more like, [G] I'm hitting like two on [B] the bass, [G] and then the rest, it's
kind of like a kick and a snare, you know.
So let's put those together, just two eighth notes.
[D] [Em] [Bm] Well I guess I'm kind of adding a little rhythm in there.
Yeah, that's it.
[Em] So the first one I hit, and then I kind of come back as [Bm] no notes, just X's.
And then, [A] then we move down to the A [E] major, we'll put our middle finger back on and hit
two eighth notes with [A] those.
And then we're going to do the same rhythm, move down two more to G, but keep our middle
finger down [G] and do the same that [D] I was doing up here.
So here we go.
[Bm]
[Em] [G] [D]
[Bm] [A] [G] [D] Oh, one two, Prince is [A] new [Em] before [G] you, that's what I [D] said now.
[Bm] [A] [G]
And then he goes to, [D] yeah.
[B] [Em] [G]
[C#] [Em] But that part, we're going to do a little, do a little different-ness.
[D] So here's D right here, it's the same as up here, but here's a cool rock trick, and Jimi
Hendrix uses this a lot, especially John Mayer nowadays.
[Em] [F#]
[D] Ooh, so here's the D chord,
[Bm] and what I'm doing is I'm just taking the root and sliding it
up to [E] the third, [Bm] [D] sliding up four [Em] frets [B] [Am]
[Bm] right up here.
And then, instead of my finger here, I'm just going to change [D] fingers.
So it's like this, 9-7-7-7.
So [Em]
[F#] cool, [D] [Em] huh?
So that's a little trick for you.
[Bm] And that's kind of what he's doing, except he's going to hold his seventh fret and go.
[E] And I'm just doing 7, hammer [F#] on, and then [D] my finger's already holding 7-7-7 now, and
I just hit those down.
[Bm] So that's the D chord.
[Em] [D] [Bm]
And then for the B minor, he's doing 9 [D]-7, and he's going to go 10-10, [Am]
this little [Dm] formation.
[Em] [B] A little difficult, [Em] but just a little funkiness.
So let's go from the D to the B minor, he goes.
[Bm]
Oh [A] man, that's cool.
And then, just A, here's the barre chord for A, and [C#] he's just taking the top part, which
is 5-5-6-7.
[G] And then, he does that for the G chord as well, coming down.
So it's not so hard, it's the first [Em] ones.
[G] [D] [A]
[Em] So that's just the part right after the verse.
And so, [G]
our chorus.
[Bm] [Em] [G] That's what I [D] said.
[B] [A] [G]
[D] D, [Bm] B [A] minor, A, [G] G.
And that brings us to our bridge, which is G.
Marry him, or marry me, [D] cause I'm going to D.
I'm the mother fucking mother, can't [G] you see.
I go to G.
Family [A] trio.
A.
I don't want a prince in love, but I ought to be.
[Em] Then back into the verse.
[G] So, let's do that bridge again.
It's G, which is 3-5-5-4.
Marry me, marry [D] me, cause I'm going to D.
[G] Then back to G.
Slide [A] up two frets to A.
I'm the prince in love, but I ought to be.
Repeat it.
I'm the prince in love, but I ought to be.
[Em]
[D] Oh, one, two princes, [Am] me before you.
[G] That's what I [D] said now.
[Em] Keep playing this until the [A] sun fades out [G] now.
Because it's the [D] 90s, and that's [B] what we do [A] all the [G] time.
Learn [D] our bar chords.
[Bm] That's it, guys.
Two princes.
Spin doctors.
Throwback.
That's all I got to teach you guys.
So, good luck, and sorry if that was a little fast.
Teaching you little rock [G] tricks here and there, and then you can throw them in your own [B] songs.
Spin doctors.
Eric's a pretty sick guitar player, and he does all kinds of stuff.
It's hard to follow, but I'll break it down for you guys.
