Chords for Warren Cuccurullo - Ordinary World Tutorial

_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [N] Yeah, a lot of technique involved in playing something that sounds [D] that simple like [A] this
little line here.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Cm] A two year old can do that, but when you try and play it with [E] chords, _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ there's a lot of
techniques involved there.
[N] Two of them, _ pull-offs and hammer-ons.
So pull [Em]-off is when you
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ [E] pull the string and you're getting the attack [Em] without picking it. _ _ _ _
[A] And hammer-ons is when _ [F] you're _ _ _
[F#] _ hammering the string [Dm] with your finger without picking it.
[N] So when you use those techniques, along with picking, you get very interesting rhythmic
things and melodic things that you would never get with [D] the straight strumming.
_ _ You incorporate hammer-ons [Am] and pull-offs into [N] strumming, you get things that sound like
this little thing that Frank Zappa showed me a long, long, long time ago.
[D#] _ _
_ Where _ is it?
[G] _
[D] Huh, here we go.
[D#] That was this. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So I've taken that _ _ to a [G] place [Cm] like this.
[G] _ [Bm] _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Just close in on this [F#] hand.
You see a _ [N] _
_ little figure that's [F] played by picking [Bm] and a hammer and a pull-off. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] It's this note of this.
[G] _ _ It's picked by [Cm] this finger.
So [Bm] if _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] you practice that, see what it feels like.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ [Dm] _ Another pull [Bm]-off there.
_ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ Another one there.
[B] _
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _
_ [N] So sometimes you can write a song, strumming chords, or you can write a song coming up
with something that is incorporating a lot of technique.
[Bm] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#] Now if you [N] come in on the right hand, check out the _ strumming, the picking.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] You can see it with a [N] pick.
It might be a little bit easier.
See what I'm [A] doing. _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [Gm] _
[Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Bm] _
_ _ [G] _ [A] _ [G] _ _ I _ _ [N] prefer it played with fingers. _
When I [C] play it live, usually I play it with a pick [A#] because it's louder.
[F#] But I [C] really like it, I wrote it with [B] fingers.
[D] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _
[N] There's a lot of pieces that I have that are like that.
_ _ [D] _
And [N] when I played Ordinary World on the acoustic guitar, I used that pull-off and hammer-on
technique to play that melody, the [D] main theme of Ordinary [E] World.
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D#] _ _
[F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D#] _ [F#m] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] Pull-offs [N] and hammer-ons.
_ Practice makes perfect. _
