_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey everybody, hope you're doing well.
I want to show you something today that's pretty fun to do.
I'll teach it with the song I'll Fly Away.
It's an old gospel hymn, really good song.
_ [B] _ I want to use the chords G, [F#] C, and D.
[B] _ _ So three chords.
It's going to go G, C, then [F#] G, D.
[B] So that's the order of the chords.
What you want to do, it's going to be a sound like this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Sure glad we're here, man, it's the life we're all about. _
_ Fly away _ _ to the water, from the godless to the shore.
[F#] _ _ _ I will [B] fly away. _ _ _ _
I will fly away.
Oh, lovely man, we'll spend the evening flying away.
In the morning, _ rain or shine.
And in the evening, _ _ [F#] I'll fly _ _ [B] away. _
_ _ _ [N] So that might look pretty hard, but here's all I'm doing.
You're doing a bass note before you strum the chord.
So [B] on G, I go top string, down.
Then take your first finger, hammer on the fourth [F#] string _ _
[B] on the second fret.
So go six down, _ _ fourth string, second [C#] fret, _ hammer on.
[F#] _ Then fourth open, [D#] _ then [B] fifth closed.
So _ each _ _ _ _ _ time after you do a hammer on or hit the note,
you want to strum down.
So six down, hammer on, down, open fourth string, down,
hammer on the fifth. _
Fifth string, second fret.
So _ then _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ move down to the C chord and do [E] five [B] down and hammer on the fourth.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Back up to G. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now on the D, you're going to go [F#] four down, [B] _
[F#] _ hammer on the third, _ down. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
So _ _ all you've got to know, you've got to know the chords are G, C, [Fm] and G, D.
[B] On the G, you go six down, hammer fourth down, four down, _ five down.
On the C, five, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] D.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] It might look a little complicated, but it's fun to practice and keep
rewinding [B] and watching this till you get it.
It's a fun song to play.
Have a [E] great day.
God bless.
2009 is going to be a good year.
I'm excited.
_ _ [N] _
