want to know what love is by Forner
Another power ballad from the 80s, 84
I was a teenager in those days, so I love a lot of those songs from that [Db] decade
And definitely power ballads and this one
I bumped into the acoustic version a week or so ago
Just them playing it [Abm] on acoustic guitars
So I thought it would make a great lesson
Also for beginners, because in a way it is pretty simple
Firstly, all the strings should be tuned down a half step
Which is how it is on the original recording and how they do it still
So [Eb] then you have an Eb, [Ab] an Ab, [Db] a [Gb] Db, a [Bb] Db, a Bb and another [Eb] Eb
From there, we talk about chord shapes
[Ebm] So, only 5 chords involved there
There are different [Eb] chord shapes because they're with 3 guitar players
So, you know, they change it up for that matter
But [Ebm] eventually there are 5 chords
Em, [Gb] _ _ _
G major, G and [Db] 5 _
D major, dressed up [Db] with a sus4 and a [E] sus2
[Gb] C sus2, see there are a couple of added notes _ there
Or you can [B] just play C major, [Gb] that's fine, but C sus2 is easy too
Then [Abm] Am and _ [B] Am7
I will show you those chords a little more closely in the lesson
And also a couple of what the others are doing for that matter _
[Gb] Then, strumming, keep it simple
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and
Speed of 16, that's actually the only thing which is really set
Other than that, play through the song [E] randomly, how they absolutely do [Gb] as well
[Ab] _
You can play certain [E] accents here and there, which I will point out in the [Abm] lesson as well
A couple of syncopated chord changes like in the pre-chorus
1 and 2 and 3 and [Db] 4 and 1 [Abm] and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 4 and so on
We talk about the _ [Ebm] _
[Eb] signature riff which is very nice to add of [Db] course
The progression in a way is straightforward
It's all in 4-4 time, but it does here and [E] there changes in time signature
All of a sudden you have [Eb] a 2-4 measure and so back and forth
Usually in the verses
So, _ breaking all that down in the lesson
Ok, now, if you want to learn how [E] to play this one
