Hey everyone, welcome back to Music with Ryan.
[N] As you just saw and heard, I played through the tune Amazing Grace in the key of G.
And I did just a real basic melody, added a few little ornamentations in there, some
slides, a lot of slides in this one, a few hammer-ons and pull-offs.
And this is a great kind of advanced, beginner, intermediate arrangement.
Kind of the point was, people ask me where do they start, you know, kind of for taking
solos and stuff like that.
And this, I think, is a good tune to start with, or the arrangement I've created.
And the song actually, is Amazing Grace, is always a good one for lead playing and, you
know, kind of starting out.
And so, yeah, just created a basic arrangement for just playing some, you know, simple lead parts.
And again, working on your slides and your hammer-ons and pull-offs for those of you
that maybe have dabbled or haven't done much of it.
So this lesson, the full-length version, is about 25 minutes in length and it comes with
PDF tabs and three backing tracks.
And again, this YouTube video is just a preview video of the full-length version.
You hop over to my website and you can purchase that.
Another thing it comes with is the rhythm lesson.
And I've kind of created a little bit different chord progression.
I mean, nothing out of the ordinary, but just something a little more creative, a little
more expressive.
And I do a few different chord shapes and a little substitution in there.
[D] So and one of them that I really like is the D, the D with the F sharp in the bass.
It's a really thick or lush chord.
Get that thumb involved up here on the second fret, kind of odd, maybe you've done that
or you haven't.
And so it's a good little technique and it's a good chord to kind of really draw you back
to the G chord.
So it's the V chord with the III in the bass.
[Gm] Okay?
And I really [D] like the way that inversion, perhaps, or slash chords, maybe you've seen
it written as, I like the way it sounds.
The way it pulls [G] me to the I chord.
Okay?
So I'm going to go over [C] that in about a [N] 10-12 minute rhythm lesson, talk about my strumming
and some of the other chords I'm using.
For now, we're going to dive into this thing, the simple melody lesson a little bit.
If you like what you see, please subscribe.
Make a comment below, let me know what you thought of the lesson.
If you have a request, you can make a comment about what you'd like to see me do a lesson
of as well.
So as for now, let's go ahead and start checking this lesson out.
Thank you for watching.
All right, so let's check out the amazing grace, a basic melody in the key of G.
And as you notice on the tab, we're in three four time signatures, so three beats to the measure.
And we have a little pick up that happens on beat three, so those first two little squiggly
lines there are quarter note rest symbols.
All right?
So we start on beat three.
And other than that, you know, the pick directions are marked on the bottom, fingerings are marked
on the top of the staff.
And [G] yeah, I think that's all you need to know for the melody portion.
There's some stuff about the chord changes, some different chords in this tune that we'll
go over in the rhythm lesson.
But again, just the basic melody.
So I'm going to play the first handful of measures here and then break them down.
All right?
So here we go.
One, [D] two.
[Am] [G] [A] [B]
[A] [G]
[Am] [D]
[E] [G] [B] All right, I went one note farther than what's marked on the tab on your screen there.
But, and again, so the notes that have like circles around them, that's a half note, we
get two counts.
And if it's just a stem by itself with a number, then it's quarter note, one count.
And if you have two notes that are connected by a beam at the bottom there, that's eighth notes.
Count those one and two and three and so forth.
So those are the, that's what the value of each note is.
[Dm] So, again, it starts on beat three and we've got a hammer on zero two on the D string.
And then we also have, then we [E] have [G] an open G.
And then you see that little line that goes up to the fourth fret.
[D] And I've got those indicated actually in a lot of places, they're slides.
You're going to slide into that note.
And slides are something that take a little bit of practice.
They sound really nice and they're cool to do.
But sometimes they just take a little bit of practice going right to the note, not past
it, you know, making sure you're still in time and all that.
So this one has a lot of slides.
So while a basic melody, you know, the rhythm is pretty basic, there are some hammer ons
and there's slides and eighth notes.
So just a few things to make a kind of advanced beginner arrangement.
[E] [G] One, two, [A] [B] [G] one.
[Dm] [C] [G]
[D] [C] [G]
