[N] Hey, what's up you guys?
Marty Schwartz here, GuitarJams.com.
Gonna bring you a pretty good beginner song.
It's got a couple of tricky tricks _ with your fingers.
Anyway, I'm gonna break it down for you.
But real quick, I have a chord and scale book and free lessons that I send through your email.
All you have to do is click the link below and check it out.
I really appreciate it.
But let's get to the lesson.
Here we go.
All right, let's get to it.
The rhythm, I used to teach this song before YouTube existed.
I used to teach this one to students.
_ _ And the rhythm and chord change was always the most difficult thing for them.
So let's break down this rhythm.
It's a great rhythm to practice for lots of different progressions.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
Down, down, down, up, up, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up,
down, up, down, down, down, up, up, up, down, up, down, down, down, up, up, up, down, up,
down, up, down, down, down, up, up, up, down, up, down, up.
Okay? _
So you wanna have that down pretty good _ and up.
_ And we're gonna take a [G] G chord. _ _
Three, _ [B] _ two, [Em] _ [D] _
[G] oh, oh, _ three, three. _
_ Now you can also play G this way. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
[G] And I think this one sounds better for this song, but it's up to you.
So good.
Okay, so we got that.
And we're gonna go_
_ _ So remember I [A#] was going [C] down, [A#] down, down, up.
[G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ So down, [A] down, down, up.
And so that up [G] that we were working on in that pattern is when it switches to an A major chord.
Now, if you've [A] ever seen A this way, it used to be real weird for me when I was first learning
to play an A this way with one finger as opposed to this. _
_ If you're a real beginner, you could play that regular A, but [G#m] you're not gonna [A] be able
to do _ _ the_
I can't do it either.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _
[F] A little [A] embellishing thing.
So let's try and do A with the index finger here.
So we have to open A.
[E] Second [A] fret, second [C#] fret, second fret, _ [A] muted. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay?
[G] So we have _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ down, [A] down, down, up, up, up, down, up, [G] down, up, down, down, [A] down, up, up, up,
down, up, down, [G] down, _ [A] down, up, up, up, down, up, down, down.
So on that _ down, up, down, up, on the A chord strum, _ we want fourth fret on the G _ and then off. _ _ _ _
Then the same thing on the D. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
So if you've never done something like that [N] before, maybe it's gonna be easier to use
your ring finger.
I play the chord and I can kind of squeeze it and then get my pinky _ and that's how it's
comfortable for me.
But if you want to use your [B] ring [A] _ finger_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [A] _ _ Okay, now the [N] next section _ is weird because the bass line is kind of the, I think, the
most recognizable melody, which sounds like [G] this.
_ _ _ [F#] _ [Em] _ [D] _
[G] _ We don't have a low D, so I'm going to [D] this D right here.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[Em] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[Em] _ [D] _ _ [Gm] _ And so you've got this melody in the bass, but if you're just playing it on _ guitar_
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ I was trying to find a good clear _ footage _ of it and [G#m] it really kind of just looks like
a [Gm] G _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] to a D.
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ And what I found is I'm going G, G, G, G, [D] G, G, G, G, and I'm taking my middle finger
off to [G] mimic _ the_
_ [F#] _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [D] _ And then you have a D, but you can [G] go_
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ So you can hear that bass line in the high [G] notes there. _ _ _ _
[D] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ See, while you're [G] strumming.
_ _ _ [F#] _ [Em] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] I think it sounds cool [G] that way. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[N] She can't help_
