Hey Guitar Buddies, classic track [N] from the Beatles, Ticket to Ride [A] and it's got a great
riff which is really nice and simple.
I'm starting by playing, _ [F#] _ _ _
[A] I'm just playing A on
2 on the G string, _ then open [E] E, _ _ [C#] then C sharp on 2 on the B [A] string and _ _ _ then again A and
just releasing my second finger, [F#] _ _ _
[B] A, B, [E] E.
So 2, open, open.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ And then I just [Cm] swap the
first note [A] for the A an octave lower. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So I'm playing an open A, _ _ [E] E, _ C [C#m] sharp, _ [A] A, _ [B] B, E.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ And
that plays on the [B] verse, okay that repeats and then it goes to a B minor and I just pick,
so [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ I play [B] the B minor shape, play the B on 2, _ _ [Bm] then F sharp, D, 2, 3 on the E and B strings _ and
_ _ [B] re-picking the B on 2 and _ playing B on 4, [Bm] _ then D on 3, _ _ _ _ _ then [E] _ an _ _ _ E.
So that's the verse chord.
_ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
Then on an [N] F sharp minor, but she's got a ticket to ride, [F#m] _ _ to [D] _ a D7 chord, [C#] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ back to F sharp [F#m] minor and _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ then I'm playing a G major 7, so I'm playing 3, the A string's muted by my second finger and then
open D, open G, open B and 2 on the E string. _ _ _ _
Then back to F sharp minor, [F#m] to _ [E] E, _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
back to the riff _ [B] _ _ _
[D] and then we've just got this bridge section which is, I'm playing a D7 and I'm playing it 5 on the A string, 4 on the D string, 5 on the G string, _ 3 on the B string. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Then to an E, _ _ [E] back to D7, [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [F#] then this lick, I'm
playing _ B, _ _ _ I'm bending to a B and releasing _ on _ 14 on the G string, _ [G] _ then a kind of quarter tone bend on the G on [F#] 12, _ _ then an E on 14 on the G string _ _ and _ then I'm sliding _
[Bm] from _ 14 to 16 on the G string, A to B _ _ and playing D on 15 on the B string, _ back to B, so
slowly [E] _ and [F#] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ then bending [E] the E _ up to F sharp, _ so bending on 17 _ and releasing, _ _ then D on 15, back to E _ and _ then that E holds [A] while the second guitar kicks _ [F#] in with the riff again, but I was just, went straight to the riff, you know, just for the one guitar version, so, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ ok and then just at the end of the song, it just goes to an A chord for
My Baby Don't Care, My Baby [A] Don't Care, _ _ and over that you've got some, _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
just kind of _ _ _ _ improvising around the 5th position, _ _ _ _ _ [F#] kind of blues scale with also an F sharp, _
_ [D] _ _ _ all around there you can just play around with that, so I'm playing bends on the 7th fret of the G string, _ _ [C] also a kind of bend on [D] 5, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#]
and a bend on [Cm] 7 on the B string, an F sharp [E] to G. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ That, just some, throwing in some licks [B] at the end of the [A] song, ok. _
So that is A Ticket To Ride, thanks for watching buddies.
