[B] [C#] Hi and welcome to this tutorial.
In this lesson I'm going to show you how to play the electric intro to What Is Life by George Harrison.
The guitar is tuned standard E A D G B E.
So let's get started.
The [E] key of the song is E major.
And I'm turning off my distortion so that you can better hear what I'm trying to show you.
We're going to start with an E note here at the second fret on the D string.
What we're going to do first is to learn a series of notes that make a loop that sounds like this.
[B] [C#] [A]
[B]
[C#] [A]
[B]
You'll [A#] be repeating that loop as needed during the song.
We'll be starting at the second fret on the D string.
And we'll play fret [E] 2, fret [D#] 1,
and then move [G#] down to the A [C#] string, fret 4,
and then fret 2.
[B]
[D#] Back to E flat here at the first fret on the D string.
Back to fret 4 on [C#] the A string.
Fret [B] 2, open.
[A] And we'll play that open string again, twice.
And then to the second fret.
So [F] our first melody is
[D#] [B]
[A] [B]
Our second melody will go this way.
[C#]
[A] [Bm]
For [E] that one, we'll play fret 2 on the D string,
fret 1, [D#]
fret 4 [C#] on the A string,
fret [B] 2, back to fret 1 on the [D#] D string.
A [C#] string, fret 4, fret 2, [B]
open, [A] open again,
2, [Bm] [C#] 4,
[E] [B] so that was
[C#] [B] [A]
[C#] [Bm]
We'll [E] play this phrase a few times [B] and
[A] [B]
[B] [C#] [A] [B]
then [D] end it with this.
[C#]
[B] [F#] And that was the open D string, fret 4 [C#] on the A string,
and three hits [B] on the second fret, A string.
Like that.
[C#]
[A] [B]
[A] [C#]
[C#]
[B] [D]
[C#] And that's the intro to What Is Life?
by George Harrison on electric guitar.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day.
