[A#] _ _ _ _ [N] Hi, _ and welcome to Eric Blackman Music's funk bag.
_ Yup, Papa's got a brand new bag.
_ Let's look in there and see what we're going to be doing today. _ _ _
Hmm. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, _ looks [Fm] like it's going to be funky Nassau _ by the [Bm] beginning of the end.
_ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _
Nassau [C#m] Rock _ [Bm] and Nassau [F#m]
Road.
[E] _ _ _ Nassau's got [Bm] a whole lot [A] of soul.
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _
_ [Bm] _ Hi, [A] _ _ [E] _ _

And _ if you need to learn these chords, go to chord tutorial number _ 264 on this channel.
A link is provided for you in the description. _ _
We're going to start _ with the beginning of the song that [F] sounds [D] a little bit like this.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _
[E] Nassau's got a whole [Bm] _ lot [F#m] _
of [Bm] soul.
[C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ [B] Now this song is made up of varied strumming patterns.
And our first strumming pattern is going to go like this.
[Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Now I'm using a thin pick, [B] _
and I've got my pickup selector on the neck pickup for a mellower tone.
It's almost a jazzy kind [G] of a tone, okay?
[Bm] And we need this soft _ picking of a thin pick to get that nice funky type light strum, okay?
Now we're going to start with a B minor 7 chord _ here at the 7th fret.
And we're going to play this. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then we're going to take the ring finger and go to a C sharp minor chord at the 9th [Em] fret like this.
We're just [C#m] playing three strings.
We're going to hit that, _ [Dm] _ _ _ slide into a D minor chord like that.
So we're going to go [Bm] _ _
as [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ we're doing our strumming, okay?
So here we go. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ So we have this type of reggae strumming going on that's like this.
_ _ _ _ [F#] Like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
1, 2, 3, [D] 4. _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So it's down, up, down, up, [F]
down, _ [Bm] down, up, _ up, down, up.
And then we're going to go up to an A chord.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ And then we wound up on an E major chord here at fret 9.
Okay, so [A] it's _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] down, up, down, [E] up.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] Now the first time around, we're going to strike that B minor 7 chord on the 1 beat like this.
Alright, _ _ _ _ _ but after that, we won't do that again.
Here we go.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bm] _
So the next time around we went _ like that.
Now it's up, down, up.
Okay, so we go. _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ Alright, that's our first strum.
_ Next, we'll do a pattern that sounds like this.
[Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [F#] _ _
For that next pattern, we'll pick it up a little bit and we'll play it this way. _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ So we've added something up here, the A chord. _
So now we've added [A] down, up, down, down, up.
_ Down, up, down, down, up.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] Now near the end of the song, they're going to pick it up even more.
And they're going to play it like this.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This pattern is going to go something like this. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _
So we've got this. _ _ _ _ _
_ So that's down, up, down, down, down.
Okay, [D#] so we've got that on our [E] B minor 7 chord.
And then we're going to slide up to our D minor.
[Dm] _ _ _ _
_ C sharp minor.
[C#m] _ _ _ _
And then [Bm] back to the B minor 7.
So we've got this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And with that, you'll be able to play the entire song. _
That's Funky Nassau from the beginning of the end.
_ Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. _ _ _ _ _
