[G] This is the guitar lesson for [Em] Richie Valens la Bamba from Guitar Made Easy [A#].com
First [Am] things first make sure your guitars in [E] standard e-tuning _
_ _ _ [Cm] The hardest [A] part of this [F] song is the intro [G] which I will show you how to play right now, okay?
This is it [C] very slow [A#] alright, [G] so it goes _
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C#] That's it.
[G] Okay, so let's go over it alright.
You start off with kind of [B] like a G pattern [C] alright or a G shape and
_ How I play [G] it as I take my ring finger.
I put that [C#] on the third Freddie string
I take my middle [B] finger put that on the second fret [C] a _ _
String [G] okay, and I palm mute and I go _
_ _ So I go e a _ D
_ And that's where it starts, so now I make it ring and I move these fingers down one string
So [C] now my ring finger is going [G] to be on the third fret a string [C] and my middle finger is going to be on the second
fret D string okay, this is where it starts so we go
We go
All _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ right, so I [C] go down down up, _ and that's two strings that I'm strumming
That's the a and the D string so I go _ _ _
And [G] I do kind of the same thing I move my fingers down once again, [Cm] so now my ring fingers on [Dm] the third fret
_ _ _ What is that third fret D string and my middle finger now is on the second fret G string [C] okay, so I go _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ and now I pluck
[A] _ _
_ [D] _ the
Second fret G string [G] down, and I take my pointer.
I'm taking my [C] middle finger off tonight
_ [G] Pluck it up.
Okay, so it sounds like this it goes
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] all right, so _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[G] That's the first part all right [F#] now the second part [Gm] we go back to that G shape and we go
[Bm] _ [A#] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] Okay, so we take our _ _
Once we [G] put the E string on [C#] the third [G] fret so we go _ and in the second [Bm] fret a string
_ Then open [D] D, _ _ _ [G] and now I take my ring finger, and [D] I put that on the third [G] fret D string and I [F] go _ _
_ So I go three three
_ [Em]
two with my middle finger and then [D] open _ and then we [C] go
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] All right, and this is the third part so the third part goes
_ _ [G] _ _ _ Okay, [C] so
_ Right now.
We're kind of like in a C shape all right
So my ring finger is on the third [C#] fret a string my middle fingers [Cm] on the second fret D string and I go
[C] _ _
_ Now I'm moving down into that [A] F shape okay, so I move [C] them down one [F] string and _ _ _
Then I upstroke on the G shape [C] so I go _ [G] and _ _ [C#] [Em] then it comes in
[A#] _ _ _ Bamba [G] all right, and so that's the intro
I'll play through it one time all the way through really slow so you can see [Cm] it one more time, okay, so I go
[G] Okay, _ [C] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
and [F#m] then now the easiest [C] part of the song the verse which is just C F G so it goes _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] And sometimes he [C] mutes the G
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ All right [F] so un poquito _ espanol [C] so not very well either, but um all it is is C
_ _ [F] F _
[G] And G okay, and the stroking [C] pattern for that is this
_ _ so down down _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] So down down up on the C.
Then F.
We [F] go and _ [G] then _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] so
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Down on the [D] F, and then I go into an [G] upstroke on the G _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] So _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ Really slow
[C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's the whole [F] song and then this really sloppy solo comes in there where basically he's just hitting all the notes
that [C] I showed you before you just want [G] like _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] something like that so
[C#] that's the whole song really [A#] the easiest song in the world [F#] and
One of the greatest [G] because it was one of the [B] foundations for rock and roll so
