Alright guys, today I'm going to show you how to play All My Loving, the rhythm guitar part.
It's going to start out on an F [F#m] sharp minor.
[F#] You want to try to play it like if you played an F [F] down here,
but you move [F#] your ring finger up a string and then you put your pinky on the fourth string on the
third fret.
[Am] And then you just [F#] move that up one fret and then you take your [F#m] middle finger off.
So it'll start off on that chord.
[F#] So I'm just going to play through, I'm going to show you
the chords and then I'll show you how to strum it.
So [F#m] F sharp [D] minor and then to [B] B.
So [A] you're pretty much going to take an A down here, then [F#] you move that up the fourth fret and then
put your first finger on the [B] first, second, third [F#] and fourth string [F#m] on the second fret.
So you have the F sharp minor and [B] then the B and then [E] to C.
And you just want to play the
first, second, third and fourth strings.
And then to a C sharp [C#m] minor, which you can play like this
or like this.
I don't think it matters for this chord.
So, so far for the [F#m] chords, [B] E,
[E] E, C sharp [C#m] minor.
And then [B] to [A] an A.
[F#m] So I'm just going to play through what we have so far.
[B]
[E] [C#m] [A]
[F#] And then you're going to go back to the F sharp [F#m] minor.
Then to the, to [N] a D with the pinky.
[D] [F#m] And then [B] instead of playing a [G#] B, [B] we're going to play a B7.
[F#] So that's pretty much it for the
verse.
[C#m] For the chorus, it's going to be C sharp minor.
[E] To this chord, which I'm not sure what the name of it is, [G#] but your first finger is [F#] on the fourth fret.
Your second finger is on the third string on the fifth fret and your ring finger is on the
second string on the fifth fret.
[D#] And then your pinky is on the fourth string on the sixth fret.
[C] [F#]
[C#m] [Am] Then to [G#] an E chord, which we [E] did before.
[C#m]
[C] [F] The strumming is just like,
[F#] it's just kind of,
[E] if you, [F#m] if you just, I'll do it in slow motion so you can see this
and I'll try to get the camera zoomed in.
[N] If you play a downstroke, then downstroke again,
and then an [C#m] upstroke.
[E]
So [B] that's pretty much it.
When the solo comes in,
[G#] [D] it's going to be an A, you're going to play an [A] A7 and then an E [E] chord.
[B]
[E] [F#] These, that's pretty much it for the, for the chords.
For the rhythm, rhythm pattern during
the verse, it's just going to be down, up, [C#] down, up, down, up, [F#m] but really fast.
So
you [F#m] just pretty much try to do that really [F#] fast through the whole verse.
For the end, end bit, which [Em] was up here.
Oh, sorry.
[C#m] [E]
[F] You're just going to take the F shape and take off your [Fm] middle finger
[F] and bring that up to the [C#m] ninth fret.
[E] And just [C#m] play a little,
[D#m]
[C#] and it just [E] kind of, [D#] once you play it, it'll be easier once you figure it
out.
All [C#m] right.
So then move that [E] up to the 12th fret, but you're going to [D#] actually add your middle
finger on the third string, which would be on the 13th fret.
[E]
[C#m] Do a little slide there.
[F#] So I hope that covers most of the parts of
It's going to start out on an F [F#m] sharp minor.
[F#] You want to try to play it like if you played an F [F] down here,
but you move [F#] your ring finger up a string and then you put your pinky on the fourth string on the
third fret.
[Am] And then you just [F#] move that up one fret and then you take your [F#m] middle finger off.
So it'll start off on that chord.
[F#] So I'm just going to play through, I'm going to show you
the chords and then I'll show you how to strum it.
So [F#m] F sharp [D] minor and then to [B] B.
So [A] you're pretty much going to take an A down here, then [F#] you move that up the fourth fret and then
put your first finger on the [B] first, second, third [F#] and fourth string [F#m] on the second fret.
So you have the F sharp minor and [B] then the B and then [E] to C.
And you just want to play the
