Chords for Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" Guitar Lesson CHORDS Part 3 of 3

Or here's another possibility is take your [B] capo and put it here on the fourth fret
_ Now if I go to make a G shape right here
_ [A#] _ sometimes in tabs they'll write G and
Then capo fourth fret so then you would just think as though that the guitar has been cut off and here is your
This is like your new nut right here
This is called the nut and it's been slid up to here
So this would be fret one fret two fret three and you'd be making a G chord
but I like to always
Still talk in terms of the actual chord say I needed to communicate to like a keyboard player or somebody else
What chord I'm playing I would have to say
I'm playing a B chord
So all you have to do is
Give your G and you've moved it up to here
You've moved it up to where the root is now over the top of a B note on the seventh fret
There we _ go now the next chord that we have to play is right that F sharp
[F#] _ So I'm gonna go ahead and play a D shape right there [Cm] and that is an F sharp
The root for it is right here on the fourth string
_ _ so
_ [F#] _ [C] Sure, and
Then we've [G#m] got to play G sharp minor.
So that's really [A#] easy to do your E minor shape
And then we've got to [E] do an E chord and now we're just going to do that C shape
[A#m] Before we were using our our hands to bar [E] those for those three.
Now.
I'm just using the [A#m] capo to do that.
So I get
[B] _ _ _ _
[F#] And this is the version that he did for his little [G#m] acoustic
_ _ [E] _
_ I saw it [B] on the internet, but he did it in A
_ _ [F#] _
So what [E] we're gonna do all [A#m] we're gonna do is take the capo move it down two frets
Play all the same chord [A] shapes and now we're in the key of a
_ _ [F#] _ _ [D] You probably recognize that this is like
[C] _
_ _ G [F#m] D E [D] minor C
[Fm] All right.
So the chord progression [A#] is using in this song is
Nothing new you just put it to a little bit of a reggae beat and then came [F] up with a new melody
little catchy melody and [A] then put
some cool [A#] chords and rhythm behind it, so
_ _ _ The other cool thing you can do [E] is when you go to play this D
We can take the note that you're holding down right here on string one [C] and move it to string six
[A#] _ So that will give you what a lot of people see as D slash F sharp
Slash chord is just means that you put you play the so D
So you play the chord before the slash, but then after the slash you just put that note in the bass
So in this instance, this is going to be an E slash G sharp
[E] _ _ So I'm gonna [A] go
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [D]
You
Now capos are really cool [A] because it really opens us up to do extra little fancy things
[E] _
_ [F#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [F#] _ _ [Am] All right, [A#] so _
So the better that you know your cage shapes you can go through the song
Now actually, I just want to show you let's go back to the key of
_ B here
_ [B] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [E] Now when he does the scatting part he just starts doing the chords twice [B] as fast
_ _ _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [G#m] And play what looks like the a7 shape, all right, that's this [C] little secret thing that's going on that scatting part.
[B] So we've got B
[F#]
F sharp [G#m] G sharp minor E
[E] _ _
So, I'm sorry the [F#] scatting part is B
_ _ Sorry B F sharp G sharp minor
Then we go back to the F sharp.
They [E] were gonna play E
For a whole measure and then we're gonna play
[A#] C sharp 7 for a whole measure
[B] _ _ [G#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [B]
You
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ All right, and [C] uh
_ _ _ _ _ [C#]
[A#m] When he's doing the love love love [G#m] I believe that he's doing the C [A#] sharp
_ [C] _ At the very end of the second verse _ _
[C#] The very last chord he's doing it either as
[A#] Or I think he's doing or it could [F#] be
F sharp 7
_ _ [N] _
