_ Hey, [F] what's up you guys?
Marty Schwartz here, and I am stoked to be teaching you guys right now.
I'm going to teach you an iconic _ riff, song, licks, the whole thing, and it's so fun to play.
So anyway, we'll zoom in and we'll do all that, but real quick, I just want to thank
you guys for the support, and also thank you for subscribing to this channel and leaving
comments and liking the video and all that stuff.
That's greatly appreciated.
But enough of that, let's zoom in and start breaking this one down.
Here we go.
All right, so this song is kind of a blues in D _ kind of vibe, but turned into 60s psychedelic rock. _ _
And what I mean by that is it's kind of outlining the blues scale in D, the main riff of the tune.
So there's variations to it.
It starts this way.
You know, we got the root [Bm] here, the D note on the 10th fret, and if we kind of thought
of our minor pentatonic scale, [F] 10, 13, 10, [E] 12, 10, 12, 10, 12, [D] 10, 13, 10, 13, _ _ _ _ _ _ like [G] that.
And so basically, _ _ _ in the beginning, the riff starts like this.
On the D string, 12 with [C] the ring finger and 10 with the index, _ _ _ _ [G] like that.
And there's _
[Bb] a lot more overdrive that I'm playing right now.
I'm playing it clean so you can hear it.
[F] You know, you could crank an amp up with some distortion and whatnot, like I did in the
beginning, the intro.
But now we're clean just to learn it. _
[D] Doo, doo, [Gm] down, down.
_ Then I'm going to roll my finger over _ to the 12th fret of the A string and [A] go [Abm] 12, 11, [G] 10.
_ [C] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ And you could use your ring finger to go down.
[Ab] I'm [G] _ doing that.
[C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Eb] But it might be easier for a beginner to use their ring [Gm] finger.
So _ [D] 12, _ [G] 11, 10.
Then we're going to play 10 on the [D] low E, _ _ _
_ [B] then 8 [F] on the A, then back to 10 on [D] the E.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ [Dm] _ _
So now we're going to play the D string.
That's the nice starting point.
One more time slow.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So then from there, you could take a full power chord. _ _ _ _ _
That would be, you know, it looks like an E shape and I'm barred on the 10th fret.
_ _ So 10, [E] 12, 12, _ 11, _ 10, [D] 10.
Then you could play that whole thing with a lot of overdrive.
_ 10, 10, 8, 10, with the whole chord.
_ [C] _ [D] _
Then that same lick here, _ [G] _ _ but then he's going like this,
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
which is the 12th fret on the G and B. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
Then [F] I'm hitting the 10th fret of [G] the G and [F] B. _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ And I'm actually kind of nudging it upward for my [Db] vibrato. _ _
[B] It's not a full half-step bend, but it's [D] kind of nudging up in that direction.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So you could actually just hit the G by itself on that 10th fret.
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ So from the top, _ [Dm] that's the main riff.
[G] _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] Then [D] the chords.
_ _ [Ab] _ [G] Then over here.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [Dm] Then the whole thing.
[G] _ So just like in the blues, it goes to what's called the four chord,
which now is a G power chord.
And we'll play that with the 10th on the A and the 12th on the D.
_ And we just play the little riff right there.
_ _ _ So 10 and 12, _ [F] then a whole step down and back.
[D] Just like this. _
Instead [Ab] now it's [G] _ between the 10 and the 8.
And then the riff, same, but scooted over.
So now it's on the D string.
[Db] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Ab] Then 10 on the A, [Bb] _ 8 on the D, back to [G] 10 on the A.
And then the whole thing.
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
So now we need the next section, which is now the turnaround of the blues,
which would be the five chord.
Now we're playing A, but we're going to play a power chord.
So it would be _ _ _ [E] 5, 7, and then I'm going to double up on the root,
right here on the 7 of the D.
[A] _ I'm going down, down, [C] _ _
[G] down, down, down, [A] down.
And so the first chord's A power [Bb] chord, root is on the 5th.
Then I go to a C power chord, but root is on the 8th.
Then I go to G, where root is on the [A] 3rd.
So 5 of 5, [G] _ 8 of 3, [E] 5 of [D] 5, _ [C] 8 [G] of 3, [E] 5 of 5,
[D] _ _ [G] 8 of 3,
[Am] 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
[E] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Em] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ Alright, there it was.
