[N] Hey, what's up you guys?
Marty Schwartz here.
[C] I'm going to teach you a song right now.
I know it's a big shock.
It's unusual for me, but I'm going to do it anyway.
So we'll zoom in, work on the chords, the rhythm, the whole shebang, [N]
and it's nice and
easy, you know, nice easy chords, but a powerful song.
And those are our favorites, or they're my favorites.
So anyway, thank you.
Oh, and also, really appreciate you supporting me by subscribing to this new [Em] channel of mine.
This is where [N] I'm at.
And leaving comments, liking the videos, all that stuff is greatly appreciated.
So thank you so much.
But enough of that, we're here to learn.
Let's zoom in and break this one down.
Here we go.
All right, I love these kinds of songs.
They rock out and they're easy chords, but they're powerful songs.
We like it.
So we're going to start with an E minor chord.
[Em]
You can play it this way or this way.
[E] And then D, D, C.
So we got the D chord [D]
and [C] then the C chord.
[Em]
[C] [E]
[D] [C]
And if you're playing electric, you know, this could be acoustic or electric.
This song, any song can be, but this one, you know, the recording I was listening to
was electric, but you know, I'm doing it on acoustic right now.
So you can get some palm muting where the strings vibrate under your right [D#] palm here.
If you do it too much, you don't hear [G] anything.
[E] If you do it just right.
[F]
[Em]
[E] [Em]
[D]
[C] [Em] [A]
[D] [C]
[Em] [D] [C]
[E] [D] [C]

[D] [C] [E]
[D] [C]
[E]
[D] [C] [E]
[Dm] [C]
[G]
[D] [C]
[Em]
[G] So the chorus then is G and I'm playing it pinky on the third of the high E, ring on
the third of the B, middle on the third of the low E, index on the second of the A.
Because in that way, that ring finger pivots over for the D chord.
Keep on [D] D, D, D and [C] then C.
[G] So G, G, [D] G, D, D, D, D, D, C.
[C] [G]
[Em] So [C] we're going C, then middle finger moves up to the second fret of the A string [G] like
a walk down.
And then while my ring, while my middle finger is there, index comes off, ring finger moves
over for [Em] the E minor chord.
[C] [G] [Em]
[G]
[D]
[C]
[G] [Em] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[Em] [G]
[D] [Em] [A]
Okay, [G] so we got the chorus.
G, [D] G, D, D, D, D, D, [C] D, C.
[Em] Walk down to E minor.
[G]
G, G, [D] D, D, D, D, D, [C]
C.
[Em]
[A]
[E]
[D] [C] [Em]
[Dm] [C] [Em]
[D] [C]
[E] [D] [C]
[G] [D]
[C]
[G]
[D] [C]
[G] [E] [G]
[A]
[Em]
[D] [F#] So the thing that we were just missing there is just a rock out, down, down, down, down,
down, down, down, down, down, down on an A chord [A] or an A power chord.
[N]
Power chords are great when you got a lot of muddy distortion going on, but either one's
going to work.
And that is the whole song.
You've got basically two sections, a verse and a chorus.
Verse [E] being [G] [D]
this with the [Em] palm muting.
[Dm] [C] [Em]
[Dm] [C] [Em]
[A] [C] [Em]
[A] [C] [G]
Chorus, open it [Dm] up.
[C] [Em]
[G] [D]
[C]
[G] [Em] And [E] then a hold on A.
That palm muting again.
[A]
[Em] Shot!
[D] [C]
Red, white, [Em] and blue.
[N] All right, there was a lesson.
Thanks so much for hanging out with me.
I really appreciate it.
Please subscribe to my new channel.
Thank you.
And also like the video, leave [G]
comments, let me know what other songs you'd like to learn.
I go through the comments.
So thanks again.
I really appreciate you guys so much.
And I can't wait to see you in another lesson, hopefully very soon, maybe in a few minutes.
So I'll see you in that one too.
Take care.
