It kind of needs a lot more things going on but you can have a go at it.
It's good to play over the record actually.
Three chords for this one.
I was watching Born Identity, it was on TV again for about the millionth time the other night and I just started strumming along for this one.
It's kind of fun to play because it's got quite a funky rhythm to it, dead easy.
You've got three chords, [Bb] we've got a B minor [Bm] which [N] is second fret, first string, second fret, second string, second fret, third string and then fourth fret on the actual fourth string.
It's a barre chord [Bm] basically.
[N] For this lesson I'm playing the second chord, an A, just as an open chord.
It actually works better as a barre chord but it's a little bit more difficult to play so I'm just going to teach you it with the open A.
Which is first finger on the third string, first fret and your second finger on the fourth string, second [A] fret.
And then E minor, [Gb] first finger, second fret, first string, second finger, third fret, second string, third finger, fourth fret, [Em] third string.
And that's it.
So the way it actually goes is [N] we have a barre of two bars of the B minor.
[Bm]
[A] And to our A,
[C] back [Em] to our [Bm] B minor for four bars this [Gm] time.
Okay, that sounds pretty dull.
So you've kind of really got [B] to get some funk going with your rhythm here.
And I'm doing quite [C] a lot of [G] muting and damping.
I'm basically lifting my left hand off the frets quite a lot on this one and it's a hard one to teach exactly how to [F] play because the rhythm is quite a [Bm] lot going on.
So
[N] I'm probably playing something like [Bm] down, down, up, down, up, [A]
[Em]
[F] down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, [Bm] down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, [Ab] down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, [Gb] up,
That's a heck of a lot more difficult on an open [A] A.
Because if you lift those fingers off, [Am] the bottom two strings are still going to ring out.
So you might just see me [Eb] just laying my little finger over and just muting those now and again.
That's when you get a little bit [A] more advanced.
[Ab] If you're playing the barre chord, you don't have that problem, but we're on the open chord.
It's going to sound OK if you let them ring out.
It's not the best.
And then the E minor, similar thing.
I'm just lifting my fingers off a little bit.
You might have seen me bringing my thumb around as well just to kill the G string a little bit sometimes.
I mix this [F] one up a little bit.
I don't always do the same thing.
I [N] mute different ways and I try different things as I'm playing it.
It just repeats the same the whole way through.
So just get comfortable going through those chord [Bm] changes.
[A]
[Em]
[Gm] It repeats that way the whole way through.
If you want to have a go at the rhythm, probably lay your fingers across [G] the frets
and we'll try and just thrash it out without any chord changes in.
[N]
I'm going to try and really slow this down.
I find it hard to play slower actually.
It's something in me just automatically plays it quite quick, but let's do it slow.
Down, down, down, down, up, up, down, down, up, down, down, down, down, up, up, down, down, up, down.
[Bm]
[A]
[Em]
[N] That's it for this one.
Nice song to play.
Probably doesn't sound that great when you're playing it on your own.
I was going to do the little high-pitched notes that start it, but I've done the lesson on my soprano.
I tend to play it on the A string at fret 14.
Have a play with that.
Get your friend to play it over the top.
It sounds pretty cool.
That's it.
That's Moby Extreme Ways.
Have a go at that.
Let me know how you get on.
