_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Hi, welcome to five-minute guitar lessons in today's lesson.
We're gonna learn Hey Jude by the Beatles which was released as a single in
1968 this song uses a capo on the first fret
[Fm] _
Sounds [N] great before we get started take a moment to download our chord chart
There's a link to that in the description that'll help you follow along with this lesson and then play along with the original recording
All right, here we go.
_ _ _ _ _ So here are the chords used in this song e
[F] B _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] 7 _ _ _ _ _ _ e
7 [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] a _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] F-sharp minor _ _ _ _ _ _ and [Eb] D _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Let's try going through the chords for the verse using only down strokes [G] one two three four
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The strumming pattern goes down root down root down root down root _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And this is a good strumming pattern to remember because it usually does work for piano songs
Now, let's try that pattern with the chords from the verse
_ _ _ _ one two
_ _ Three four _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The chorus goes like this
[Bb] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
one two three four
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So we were just playing the chorus and you might have noticed that the chords didn't sound
100% like the recording and that's because we're substituting the second chord [Bb] for a bit of a simpler one.
We're playing a [F] and then e
When really we should be playing [Bb] a [F] and then e over G sharp
_ Now that's still an E chord, but instead of having an e as the bass note
[G] We have a G [A] sharp as the bass note and that gives us a descending bass line from [Bb] a we [A] _ [F] _
_ [G] _ [Gm] _ [Bb] get that
[A] [G] That [F] really nice descending bass line instead [Bb] of a
[F] _ [G] _
Bass line like that.
So to play that chord
all I do is I start out by placing my middle finger on the low string _ _ _ [A] and
That way I always get the bass note even if I'm kind of late for the rest of it
I can always at least get that bass note and it and make the song sound somewhat authentic
_ Here's that chord shape.
It's called e over G sharp [F] and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] here it is in the context of [Bb] the song. _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ There you go
The _ _ outro goes like this _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ one two
three four _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
