All right guys, we're zoomed in right now.
We're going to take a closer look
So this is a 12 bar blues in G.
The chords we're going to be using are G, C and D
We're going to show you how to do that right now.
The notes of the chords are going to be playing in
Playing around with our arpeggios.
So we're going to start with a G.
So a G major arpeggio, which is the first
Note is going to be the third fret on the E string
[B] Second note is the second fret on the B string
[Dm] And then a D, the fifth fret on [B] the A string
So we're going to be playing something [G] like this when we're on the chord G
[B] [G]
[B] 1 [G] 3 5
[A] [D]
[F#] We're going to do that four times.
So four bars.
After that we're going to switch over to C [C] and do the exact same
1 3 5 pattern.
So
[G]
Let me just break that down for you.
The notes are going to be third fret on the [E] A string, which is a C
Second fret on the D string, which is going to be [G] E
And then the fifth fret on the D string, which is the [C] G
So [E] and [C] [G] then we're [D#] going to go back to the G and do the same thing twice
[D] So let's just review that [G] really quick.
So this is what how it works.
It's going to be G four times
[G#] C twice
Back to G twice.
So it sounds like [G] this
twice
[B] Over to C
[C] Back [G] to G
And [D] when we're finished [N] with that, we're going to go up to a D and do the same major arpeggio
So it's going to be [G] D
fifth fret on the A [F#] string
And F sharp the fourth fret on D [A] string and then the seventh [D] fret on the D string, which is an A
So we go like this
[F#] [D]
[F#] [N] We're going to play that once
Like this
[F#] [Am] I'm going to go down and back [C] to the C [E]
[G] and back to the G again
So let's just put that all together for you guys.
So four times G
It's going to be four times G, [B] two times C, two times G, [N] once D, once C
Once G and when we get to that final G
We're going to do a walk up which is a chromatic walk up.
So it's [G] going to be half tones
To [C] fill [C#] [B] [G] out the Latin [E] bar or turnaround which usually happens at the end of the progression
So let's just break that down really quick.
[G] So what I'm doing here is a G [B] first
second fret on the A string, a B, [C] third a C
[C#] Fourth a C sharp [D] and then your D, your fifth fret on your A string and [C#] then back down again
[B] [G] To the G so it starts it all again.
So let's just play that all together and show you how that sounds like so G four times
[B] [D]
Three
Over to [C] C, twice, back to G [B] twice
[G]
[B] [D] [F#m] D
C, then your G
[C] [C#] [G] [D]
[G] Starts again [D] just like that.
[C] So that's basically the simple explanation of it
I can get into a lot of things that [N] you can do.
You can play it backward, you can play it
Any which way you want, but the main
Riff to keep going is that one two and three one two and three
Emphasis in the Hound Dog song which is [E] very
1950s jazz original blues type of
[F#] Backbeat music and
That's it.
So that's a Elvis [G] classic
