[A#] Hey, what's up you guys?
Marty Schwartz here from [C#] GuitarJams.com.
Happy to be bringing you another lesson.
I was actually just in San Francisco for a minute [A] playing a really fun gig with my buddy
[E] Elliot and we actually played this cover and I thought, wow, it's a really pretty song.
He killed it.
People loved it.
So I thought, hey, I know it now.
Might as well document it in a lesson.
So here we go.
And it's not too bad, one bar chord.
And it's just a great tune.
It's just a beautiful song.
[Fm] So I hope you enjoy it.
Also, I have a chord and scale book, other stuff that I'll send to you that are not,
you know, lessons that are not on YouTube.
I've got links right down below this box here.
Plus for all my social media stuff, you know, any of that support.
I [D] really appreciate.
But let's zoom in right now, break this one down and you can add it to the list of sweet
tunes you know.
All right, here we go.
All right, this progression has one bar chord that you're going to [Bm] need.
But for the most part, it kind of revolves around those blues chords.
The 1, 4, 5 is what you'd call it.
So we got an A major [A] chord we're going to need. _ _
And [B] we're going to need a D major [D] chord. _ _ _
_ _ _ And then [E] an F sharp minor chord, [F#m] _
[F] which is barring the second fret.
And then fourth [E] fret there, fourth fret there.
So on the A and the D string.
Middle finger, [B] I'm pressing up against my index finger to get that bar chord.
[F#m] _ _ [G#] And those are the only chords you're going to need.
So check it [A] out.
It goes, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[N] so it's kind of like a 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, [C] 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.
[D] And then there's this cool little picking thing that's going [F] on that's not too hard.
And you know, basically when you're playing the notes of a chord one note at a time, that's
called an arpeggio.
So you could kind of say like an arpeggio picking kind of thing.
[Em] But basically if you looked at this A [F] major chord, then I'm just picking the [A] A string _ _
and just going down to the B and then coming back.
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3.
I'm going to do it back here.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Now what happens if you keep that rhythm and you go out of the sequence?
Nothing happens.
It sounds good. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] You know, all the notes are going to work.
[A#] So now on the D chord there's a cool little trick.
We're going [D] to start [A#] on this D string, [G#m] the third one down, and [D] go. _ _
And so we [E] get to that high E string.
I'm going to hammer down to the second fret with my middle finger [D] there like this. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Put them [A] together.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ Back to A.
Now E.
[E] So it alternates.
_ _ _ _ _ And so for the [Bm] E chord, you could pick any of the notes.
But I'm [E] going, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ so I'm playing that low E. _
Then I'm skipping a string.
_ Any of them are going to work. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So then you put those three together.
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] So basically when you get to that F sharp minor, you can pick it the same way as you
[F#] were the E chord.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Then [E] it's an E major. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] Then a D major.
When [D] she left in _ [E] E, _ _ [A] back home to A.
_ So here we go.
I'm in the A.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Then the D.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] A again.
_ _ _ _ Down [E] to E.
_ _ _ F sharp minor.
[F#m]
Second fret of our chord.
No middle finger.
_ To the [E] E major.
_ _ _ Then we have D.
_ [D] _
_ _ [E] E.
_ Back [A] to A.
_ _ _ [E] Now on that E chord, [Cm] pretty much any time you want, you can add your pinky [A#] to the second
fret of that G string.
It gives you an E suspended fourth.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] And there's a little tag on the end.
It just goes like this.
D up to E.
It repeats that.
[D] _ D.
[E] _
E.
_ [D] D. _ _
[E] E.
A third [D] time.
D.
_ _ [E]
E.
And then F sharp minor.
_ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] D. _ _
[E] E.
_ _ [A] A. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] Alright, that was it.
I hope you learned something.
It's got a nice little arpeggio thing in there besides it being easy chords.
Also, I've got the links down there below that box.
Any support from any of those links, I really appreciate.
And I hope to see you in another video [A#] lesson real soon.
Have a good one and we'll see you later.
