Chords for Wicked Game Guitar Tutorial by Chris Isaak

_ _ Wicked Game by Chris Isaac. _
So the song is in standard tuning.
You want a clean tone.
_ You ideally want a guitar with a tremolo arm, and you need some reverb _ [Bm] _
and
some delay.
So the song starts like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ So we're going to play an open B string, and we're going to dive on [Bm] the trem. _
_ _ _ Not too much, you don't want a full-on whammy bar dive, but enough to give it a little diving of a sound. _ _
_ [A] Then we're going to pick on the [G] sixth fret of the [B] B string, _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
and we're going to bend it up to
_ the seventh [Dm] fret, so a semitone bend.
[Bm] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Then we're going to pick that [Bm] note while it's still held up, _ _ _ _ and then slide it [E] off.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And then again, _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ and then what we're going to do, we're going to sweep.
And sweep is where you get your pick, _
_ and you sweep it down.
_ [C#] _ [N]
So we're sweeping on the D, the G, and the B string, and the notes we're going to play
on the seventh fret of the D,
[E] _ _ _ the sixth fret [F#] of the G, and the fifth fret [E] of the B string.
_ [A] _ [D] _ [B] Then _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
we're going [D] to play three, [C#] two, _ [B]
open.
_ Then on the [G#] D string, fret two, and then fret two [E] on the G string, [A] _ _ _ [E]
and then fret two on the D string again,
[G#] _ _
[F] and then fret one on the G.
So slowly that whole bit looks like [B] this.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
So for the verses, [G] we have three chords, which are [Bm] B minor, _ _ _ _ [A] A, _
_ _ [E] and then E. _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [G#] _ _ And then we're going to stick in.
There's two different licks that he puts in at the end of each
_ [F] _ rotation of those chords.
[Bm] So we've got B minor, _ [A] A,
_ _ [E] E. _ _
[B] So _ [E] that's on the D string, two, _ one on [G#] the G, _ [F#m] _ _ _
[B] _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _ [F] and you're going to slide from two to [A] four as [Bm] a slide.
_ [E] _ _ [F#m] _
[Bm] _ _ _ Okay, so the other one is B minor, _ _ [A] A, _ _ [E] E,
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
which is two, [F#m] two, _ _
[E] two, [G#] one.
_ [A#] So I'll show you that one more time.
So the first [Bm] variation,
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ then we have, _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ [G#] _
_ _ [N] _ _ so in the chorus, _ we've got
the bits before the main guitar part that everybody knows.
So we're going to play a B minor chord,
but we're not going to play [E] the open, _ we're going to keep the [Bm] high E string open.
So that's _
_ _ _ and we're playing an arpeggio on the G, E, and B string, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] and then we're going to play an A major
chord, [A] _ and _ then we're going to [D] play an E minor chord, sorry, an E major [E] chord, _ _ [A] _
[Bm] _ and we stick that
in each time.
So we've got, _
_ _ _ _ [E] [F#m] and _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ then you repeat that.
Then we've got the famous guitar part that
_ everybody knows. _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
So again, we've got a B minor chord here, and we're going [F#] to play _ the D string, _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [A#] then we're going to [F#] play the E, B, and G string.
So that's, _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
then we're going to take the first
finger off and play [E] open, [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ then we're going to play the second fret on the B string, and the fourth
fret on the G [F#] and the D string. _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] So slowly that's going to go like this, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ then we're going to come
down, we're going to play an A shape, but we're not going to play the B string, we're going to keep
that open, and we're going to play the [Am] B, _ _ _ _ [E] B, G, D string.
[Bm] So that's, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] and then we're going to play
the A on the [F#m] second fret, _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ which is two, [G#] one, _ [A] four, sorry, two, [E] [A] two, one, two, and then slide up to [B] the fourth. _
So [F#] again, slowly.
_ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ [D] _ _ [E] _ So that part there is [A] two, one, [G#] and _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [F#]
that's the [A#] main part.
And then a little bit
later in the song, [B] we've also got _
[F#] _ that _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [N] part in there again.
_ And that is how you play Wicked Game. _
