Alright, let's rock.
Alright this original recording the guitar is a little bit sharp.
I'm in standard tuning.
A lot of it revolves around this classic A chord. _
_ _ _ _ Sometimes A power chord.
_ _ But you just want to get into that one finger kind of vibe.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[A] So the little intro before the main riff is.
And also the rhythm. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ My thumb's muting the low E too.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [F#] Oh beat oh beat.
And that's the third fret A [A] string. _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F]
And then a little pick up on the third fret low E.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Into the main riff.
[E] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And so what I'm doing with that is. _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] I'm still doing that down up up down up up down up.
[E] _ _ [C] _
[A] And [D] so then I'm playing a D power chord.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ _ So _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [N] the next section which is like the verse I guess we could call it.
It's A power [A] chord.
And then just [D#] a little piece of what I'm thinking of as a F sharp minor chord.
But I'm just playing fourth fret D.
Second [F#m] fret G. _ _ _
[B] And that's when the bass is doing a higher up part.
_ And so the two voicings are the A.
_ [B] And that little piece of F sharp.
[F#m] _ _ _ So you've [Am] got one two [F#m] three four.
One two three four.
_ So [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ the next section A minor seven.
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Which is just like an A minor with the ring finger off.
So first fret on the B.
Second fret D.
[C] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] And then you could actually get away moving that up a whole step.
But we have to add second fret G.
So I'm playing this chord.
It's like an inverted D major.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ So it's actually you could also think of it as that.
But then you're adding the third of the B.
And there is I do hear the high E in there.
It's not as predominant.
_ _ [Am] No.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A]
Classic A.
_ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ Next it does the A power chord followed by that inverted D. _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] Twice.
Then chug.
[A] _
_ _ _ _ Then again.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ And so I'm just going right to the A minor pentatonic.
[E] Bum bum bum bum.
So two times on the seven.
Bum bum [B] five [A] seven.
And then two times on the five of the A. _
[Em] _ _ _ [D] _ [E] Back up to seven.
_ And then I'm [C] playing.
_ Eight five.
[A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ Break.
All right next we have some funky little line. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ [A] _ _ So between the ten and eight.
_ _ And then and this is the kind of A blues but with some major third in there. _ _
Then between nine and seven.
[E] _ _ _
And then I am doing six between six and [C#] five.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
And kind of bending that. _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ So you have the five on the B.
Five on the G.
But you got to bend that G up. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _
Followed by.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
So I'm hitting the seventh fret D.
Six on the G chromatically up.
_ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] Then ten on the B.
_ _ _ Over to nine on the G.
_ [D] _ _
[E] And I'm going down.
_ Pentatonic.
Nine [C] seven five with a bend.
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ Finally you play that first part of it again.
_ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ And [F] a little tag there up in the upper register.
Starts the same way.
_ _ _ [D] Seven six seven [D#] eight nine.
[E] Ten on the B.
_ _ Hop over to the ten on the high E.
_ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ Ten eight ten twelve.
_ Eight ten on the B.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [E] All right I hope you guys enjoyed the lesson.
