All right, we're gonna do a quick tutorial on lay down Sally by Eric Clapton otherwise known as God
I'm gonna run the two guitars together on the intro
I'm gonna kind of mix things up so it's a little bit of a different [A] version and I'm gonna do a verse and a
Chorus and come back and show you what I'm up to so
There's [G] [A]
[G] [A]
nothing [Em] that [A] is wrong wanting you to [D] stay with me
I know [A] you've got somewhere to go, but won't you make [E] yourself at [D] home and stay with me?
[E] Don't you ever leave
[A] Lady down side [D]
a rescue in my [E] arms
Don't you think you want someone [A] to talk to?
[G] [A] Lady downside.
[D]
There's no need to leave so soon.
[E] I've been [C#] trying
to talk [A] to you
[G] [A] [G]
[A] All right, that's a bit of a run-through
That's all the parts of the songs song and you're gonna repeat them over.
So I'll start at the beginning.
I'm taking the
There's the one guitar that's doing the kind of low line riff [N] are on the electric [A] guitar and it's doing it
[G] [F#m] So I'm gonna mix that up with the a chord.
So I'm starting with an a chord open a string
So [A]
[E]
[A] when I'm hitting the single notes
I'm hitting the open [F#m] a f-sharp [E] open e
[B] f-sharp a
So that's the first [F#m] part and [Em] then [F#m] I'm rolling in that [G] to a [B] G [F#m] back to the f-sharp
[B] And it's the hardest part of this thing is the upstroke on that a so watch real carefully here
So where it comes in it's kind of hard to do slow, but [A] I'll do my best
[B] [E] [F#m] Heavy [A] [A] [E] [F#m] on [A] [Em] [A]
[N] the palm you here
So I'm keeping my palm about an inch from the bridge and I'm giving it lots it [A] just gives it lots of flavor
I'm gonna hit [G] that a as often as you can on the upstroke and don't go just go to the [A] G string
[Dm] So that's riff number one a riff number two.
We're going to substitute when we go [Em] to the
We're [G] going to substitute in this
[E] So [Bm] that's basically I'll put it in [A#] in [F#m] context here first
[E] [F#m] so [G] [E] [G#m]
I'm hitting the
The D string on the fourth fret and then [F#] I'm rolling it up to the [G] fifth and then hitting the open G string
[F#m] [G] and then hitting them both rolling them back [F#] and forth so [G] it's [Bm] and
[E] Then back to the e note the second fret on [F#] the D string
[G]
[E] [G] [E]
[A] [G] [A]
[G] [A] [G]
[A] [G] [C#m] That's [Fm] about it
It's a little tricky so just watch it over and you'll get the hang of it eventually there
But again, it's rolling your hand back and forth and keep in mind the palm you and just to kind of give it the full flavor
and then the other part is when he
jumps [C] into the verse so it's based in a still and
I just roll the f-sharp.
I just keep that same [A] first riff on the verse so
Nothing
Wanting you to [G] stay here, so all I'm doing is basically hitting the three three notes
I'm just hitting the E and D strings, [G#] but [A] I'm going
There's nothing that is wrong
Wanting you to stay [E] here
Right and just roll it like the intro and then on to a D
So D chord would typically be like this and take this finger out and you're gonna move this finger in place of it and leave
E string open you're not [D] even gonna hit it and you're only gonna hit these three strings and
Then you're gonna roll it on the fourth fret of the of the G string
There [Em] is nothing that [A] is wrong wanting you to stay
[D]
Same kind of thing so that roll
So [F]
that's critical and then and that's back again
[Bm] No, you I [Em] know you've got somewhere to [A] go
[Dm] Won't you [G#] take?
[A] Won't you make yourself [D] at home?
Onto the E [Cm] and E is [E] exactly the same for this hand just different strings won't you know?
[C#] But you're hitting [E] just a basic blues kind of shuffle
So you've got your II you've got your second fret of [A] your a string [E] and you're going your fourth
all right, and the other part is [A] to lay down Sally part, which is all [C] gonna be all that kind of
Kind of blues rough that I just did but if [A] we're gonna start on the A sound
No [D] need to leave so soon to the D after [E] the E
I've been trying on that [A] long just to talk to you a Mac of the egg
I'm gonna put this riffing [G] riff in again.
[E]
I've been trying on that [A] long just to talk to [G] you
[A] Lay down side.
[D] There's no need to leave so soon
[E] I've been trying on that [A] long just talk to you [F] [Bm] and then I kind of [A] break it up a bit
[G] [A]
[G] [A] back in the intro
[Em] [G] [E]
Okay, a little bit of a tricky song and it's a tricky
Joining of the two guitars, but I think it sounds pretty cool compared to a lot of them
You know you could drop all that crap and you could just play the chords [A] around it, right?
You [G#] could just say, [A] you know, there's nothing that is wrong wanting you to stay [D] here with me
[A] She's a deep know you've got somewhere to go.
I want you to make yourself at [D] home and stay with me
[E] Echor don't you ever leave?
[A] Lay down son.
It's basically a three chord song.
But when you add all the [D] little bits in the middle, it's a little more than that
So yeah, or you could just again the next step left would be just to play create [A#] a straight shuffle
[A] So there is nothing that is wrong wanting you to [D] stay here with me
[G] You don't have to do [F#m] that riff in this part
[C#m] But I think it adds it as a time.
So so hope you enjoy it and subscribe to my channel and we'll talk soon.
