[F] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Fm] _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gbm] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ Hey, what's up you guys?
Marty here with GuitarJams.com.
I'm on assignment right now.
I'm actually at a session in Los Angeles and I'm waiting to do some parts and so I'm hanging
out on this cool _
_ _ _ [Eb] Southern California day and I thought I'd throw this little semi easy
lesson for you.
I've got a cool e-book down there, a little link down there that you can always check
out and I appreciate that support.
_ And yeah, let me show you that intro rhythm right now.
We're going to start, and this is [G] the rhythm part, there is also a slide guitar part.
I'm going to focus on, you know, if you were trying to play and sing this at the same time,
you know, the rhythm part.
So we're going to start with a G power chord _ [D] [G] and _ _ that's the third fret on the low E string,
[D] _
five on [G] the A, _ five on the D.
We're going to go _ da da da da.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ Do that.
Okay.
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
[C] _ _ [Abm] _ So the next thing we're going to do is we're going to go up to the sixth fret on the low
E and we're going to [Bb] go _ _ up.
[C] _ _ _
[Bb] Look what I did.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] Okay.
Then, _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] so down up, down up, [A] mute up, down up.
Okay.
_ _ [G] Check that out again. _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ So [G] it's down up, down up, down up, down up.
But on that second _ chord, the first down is muted.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [G] _ _ _ And then immediately goes up a half step and does two of those.
So it's like, _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ so da da.
_ Then a downbeat that's rested and an up strum on the first fret of F power chord.
_ [Gb] So it's like, _ [G] check it out.
All together, that second phrase. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ [Fm] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [G] _ Here are the first two together.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ Okay.
The third one is very similar to that second one.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ [Bbm] _ [C] _ _ _ So it kind of combines both [G] of them together.
It starts with the same thing here, _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
but [G] then just keeps going all the way up to the C chord.
_ Then the fourth one is the same as the second one.
_ _ [A] _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ So here they are all together. _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ That's the intro.
So then we need the verse.
And it's going to be that same first chord, [G] _ _ _ then up to the root on the sixth [Bb] fret, _ _ then [C] up a whole step. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So we've got _ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
six, _ [C] _ [Bb] eight, _ _ [F] six, eight, but on the A string.
It's an F chord.
[G] Check it out. _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
It's like that.
And then the chorus _ [G] is a combination _ of that intro, but it always goes to that F chord right before it starts over.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [Fm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [Fm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ [G] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [N] _ _ _ So the bass that's going on on that chorus repeats the same thing over and over, and the guitar is kind of doing different combinations of that intro that I taught you.
So the bass, and [G] _
it's the root note, but I'll do it as power chords, _ _ [Gb] _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ [A]
whereas the guitar is sometimes [G] going.
_ [Gb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Bb] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Cm] _ [F] _ _ _ So there's a lot of variation there, but you could do it in any combination, and that chorus is going to work.
And it's a great groovy song.
[B] There's kind of a [Gb] _ _ _
_ pulse going on the [G] whole time.
_ [E] _
_ [A] _ [E] Yeah.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [Bb] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ Anyway, quick little lesson for you.
Remember, I've got that free e-book that you can always sign up for down in the link down there.
And, yeah, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day and have some cool sessions coming up here and _ talk to you guys soon. _ _ _ _ _
