Hey, Eric here from onestarguitarlessons.com giving you a quick lesson in the song Black Velvet.
Now this song, if you're going to play it and the key that you're hearing it in, sounds like it's a half step down.
That means you're going to have to retune your guitars if you're in standard.
But, I've got a cape on the 6th fret so I don't have to tune anything and we'll still be in the same [Ebm] key.
So we'll start with an A minor shape.
So you're just going to keep hanging out of that.
Here's your big change, [Bb] D7.
[Ab] [Gb]
[Db] And then you get to the chorus part, the pre-chorus right there.
D [Abm] minor.
[Db] [Abm] D minor. D [E] flat.
[B] [Abm] D minor.
[Db] [B] [Bb] F, E7, [Ebm] A minor.
And that is primarily [B] the verse, the pre-chorus, and the chorus part.
The only other big change is the bridge part where it goes [Abm] D minor.
[Bb]
[Ebm] D minor.
Back to D [Abm] minor.
[E]
[B] [Bb] E7.
[Ebm] And you're [F] back to the A minor shape.
Those are the only chords you really need to
