[C#m] [F#] [E] [F#]
[C#m] This is part of my original song called The Good Life.
C sharp minor, first one, C sharp minor.
Really simple one.
9, 11, 9, 9, 12, and 9th fret.
I play like that, okay?
[F#] [G#] And first thing I want you to do is, [C] before you do 16th,
make sure that you can play 8th notes really clean, like [C#m] this.
When you do, you want to strum wide like that, really big.
That's why I recommend to practice swing groove with root 37.
Then somewhere you will have to mute really cleanly.
Most people play like that.
So you want to mute, mute, mute.
And listen to this.
This is different dynamics.
If I hit a little harder, harder.
So distance, you will keep the same distance.
And all you have to do is this.
Different, you know, touch.
[F#] [N] And then after that, you can go 16th.
But [C#m] how about this one?
[E] One more.
Maybe this is a little too much, but how about this?
Try it.
First finger [F#] and third finger.
And when I play first finger, I use the second and third [E] finger to mute.
[F#] [N] When I play third finger, I use the first and second finger.
If you use two fingers, you can mute harmonics.
If you only use the first one finger, you get harmonics.
But two fingers, you get all.
