Chords for CSNY - Woodstock - Rhythm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Welcome to Vanderbilt.com. This is in response to a request for the rhythm _ section of
_ Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Woodstock. _
I have a previous lesson on the intro solo, which you can check out, pick that up.
_ _ So for here, I'm gonna play through that intro solo and then go through all of the chords. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay, the rhythm starts off with a _ _ G7 chord on the 3rd fret.
So, you know, make your standard major bar chord.
Lift up your pinky and you know, you've got a [G] G7.
_ _ _ _ And the rhythm is just_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Then you move to a C chord, which is a G7 chord. Same fret.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
And then to a C7.
And this C7 _ is the same as _ this A7 [Em] open.
_ [N] _ So you're just taking your_
It's the same form, I mean.
So you're just taking your bar on the 3rd fret.
You're putting your ring finger on the D string, 5th fret.
And your pinky on the _ _ [G] B string, 5th fret.
So [C] _ that's_ _ _ _ _ _
_ And that change from the C to the C7 is kind of key there, because you want it to sound _ like_ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Okay, so you make that change.
So far we've got [G] _
G7, _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] C, _ _ and C7. _
_ Then you go back to the C _ and the C7.
_ _ And [G] then the G7.
_ _ _ [D] And if you want to simulate the little guitar lick that they put in there, you can just_
While you're playing that [Db] G7 at the end, you can just _ _
[G] _ _ _ play_
And then hit the _ _ _ top strings, that is the E string and the B string with an upstroke. _
And then put your pinky on the _ B string, 6th fret.
And get_
And then lift it up.
So _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
just playing [G] it like this. _ _ _ _
It's a nice little touch in there.
Then you go back and play the same exact thing.
And _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ you end on that sudden_
Like that.
And then you're going to move [N] _
_ to_
_ _ What's basically a_
I think it's a G minor chord, [Gm] but with a C thrown in.
So normally, this is your normal G minor chord. _
_ [B] And what you're going to do is you're going to pick up your ring finger.
And you're only playing _ this _ 5th fret on the D string.
_ I try actually not to play the G note on this.
I play_
I start with the C, which is here on the A string.
So [C] that sounds like_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ And before you go into it, _ I usually play like a sort of a version of a G power chord.
Just _ like_
So it would be like_
[C] And then _ _ to_
Okay? Okay.
So _ that part _ _ _ is_
_ G power. _ _
G minor with C.
_ _ _ [G] And then back to G7.
_ _ _ _ [C] And then back to the _ G minor C. _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ So again, that section just looks like this.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ And then the very end of the chorus, you just do a [Bb] Bb on the 1st fret. _ _
_ [F] And then an F.
Full F. _ _ _
And then a [C] C.
_ _ [G] And back to G.
This time, don't play the G7.
Play a full G to get the major feeling. _ _ _ _ _
And [F] then down to an F. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [G] So again, that little chorus sequence _ is_
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ And [G] you're back to [N] the rest of the chorus.
And that's pretty much it. _ _
So again, you can refer back to my previous lesson on the solo to pick that up.
The intro solo.
It's all in G minor [Gm] pentatonic.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ And I hope you have fun with it.
Thanks for watching. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
