_ _ _ Hey what's up everybody, Tyler [C] from 10thumbspro.com coming at you with [D] another lesson.
We're doing another two chord song and today we're about to cross [C] the desert on a horse
with no name, [D#] the classic hit from America, alright?
[Fm] We're going to be looking at how to mute a little bit so you can be able to practice
your [C] mute and we're going to introduce a magic whimsical [F#] D6add9 chord that you're probably
not familiar with.
[D] So there's some good stuff even if you're more advanced.
You can bang this one out for two seconds, sing it, have some fun and there's still something
to learn, alright?
10thumbspro.com, new songs every [Fm] Wednesday, new songs every Saturday.
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, we're all over all those.
Links below to our social media, photos, cool stuff.
We're just having fun.
But if you [G#m] came just for this lesson, that's cool, I dig it and I respect it.
I want you to grab your ukulele, your attention span, your brain and I want you to grab a
horse with no name and follow me on in because we're about to cross this metaphorical [D] musical desert.
Let's do it.
A horse with no name.
That's how we cross the desert over [Em] here in America, alright?
[N] So we're going to break this down.
It's a two chord song.
That doesn't always necessarily mean easy [E] song.
We have an A minor, I'm [Em] sorry, E minor.
You can play [Gm] with your open G or you can move [Em] your ring finger up, put your pinky on and fret it.
_ _ _ _ [E] Our next chord is one that you probably haven't [N] seen and if you have, then you probably already
know this song or you're quite the little jazz beatnik, alright?
What we're going to need to do is take our middle finger, second fret G string, ring
finger, second fret C string, pinky finger, [E] second fret A string with the open E and we
have a D6 [B] add 9, _ _ _ [C] which is really functioning [Bm] as a D6, [B] but we're just adding the 9.
[C] Essentially the song is ping ponging between the two chords and it's going down, down,
up, up, [E] down, up, down, up, [Em] down, up, down, up.
[E] _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [G]
That's the whole song.
[N] That's the entire song.
But one, we can mix it up and make it a little spicier with [Em] a mute in there like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
So I'm [Em] going down, mute, up, mute, up, down, mute, up, up, mute, up, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ down, mute, up, mute,
up, _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ [C] down.
Okay, so essentially the play along is just those two chords.
So I'm going to go ahead and just loop those chords for a while and I [Fm] want you to try to
keep pace with me, okay?
So here we go.
_ _ [Em] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _
_ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [Em] _ Alright, the song is in E minor.
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ America, a horse with no name. _ _ _
[C#] Alright [D] everybody, now we crossed it.
Told you it was going to be painless.
Told you it was going to be [E] easy.
Happy to bring it to you.
Now you got [G#] another one under the belt, another two chord [Fm] song.
We got this one and we got Jambalaya by Mr.
[G] Hank Williams Sr.,
our two chord song.
Alright?
[F] Alright, keep on rocking, keep on rolling.
[E] Patreon.com is our digital tip jar [G#] for as little as $1 [G#m] a month.
