Chords for Acoustic Blues Guitar Lesson

[Am] _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
[D] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
[C] _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [A] Anyway, Layla, the acoustic or the unplugged version.
_ _ We've got, _ you know, just a couple of parts.
It's not too bad.
It starts with this.
Here's the verse.
Now I'm going to play a D minor chord and it's going to have my first finger on the
first fret of the high E.
And now I put my pinky on the third fret of the B string and
then my middle finger on the second fret of the G string.
And that's so I have my ring finger free because I'm going to go like this.
Open A string, _ third fret A [C] string, _ [Dm] and then the D string open with the D minor chord,
the voicing I just explained.
_ [Am] So you can keep the chord shape when you do the lick.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ Then this is probably the hardest bar [C] chord, _ B [Bb] flat major bar chord with the root on the A string. _
_ And then I like to play, I've seen him, I think he was playing a bar chord C major up
a whole step.
But for me I like to go to C [B] because it's easier to get back to [Bbm] the D minor.
So [Am] it looks like this.
[Dm] _ [Bb] D minor, B flat.
[C] _ C, [Dm] C, D.
_ [F] _
[Dm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ [C] Now [A] _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Gb] it goes into what we would call the verse.
Okay, more bar chords.
It's going to be what we will call a C sharp minor chord, bar chord, the root on the A string.
And by the way, if you've never realized this, when I play a bar chord with the root on the
A string, the shape is going to look like an A minor or an A major depending on major or minor.
And when I find a root on the E string, it's going to look like an E minor or an E major.
Well, that was obvious, sorry.
Okay, so C sharp minor, [Dbm] _ _ one measure, _ _ _ two, we'll call [B] it this time G sharp [Ab] seven.
_ _ _ _ Then _ C sharp [Dbm] minor again, _ just like that.
_ One and, then we're going to go C, D, E.
And then we're going to sus it on the second fret
of the G string back and forth.
And I think he adds his pinky to the third fret of the B string for an E [Bm] seven chord.
So here's what we have [A] from the A, C.
[C] _ [Db] _ [Dbm] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ [C] _ [D] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay, _ _ _ _ [Gbm]
then we have this little, next little section, _ alternating two different chords.
F sharp minor _ _ _ to [B] B major with the root on the A string.
_ _ _ E major [E] to A, _
[A] _ A major.
[C] And F sharp [Gbm] minor again, _ B, [B] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [E] E.
_ _ [A] _ And then there's a little A chord right before it goes back
to the chorus.
[Dm] And it doesn't [A] do [C] _ [A] when it goes to the chorus.
It's like, [Dm] A, A.
[Bb] _ _ [A] _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ Basically [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Gb] _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] _ [C] _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [C] the D blues scale sounds killer over it.
So there will be a jam track available on this one that you can just work out as many
D blues licks as you can shake a stick at, all right?
So anyway, this was Marty with GuitarJams.com.
