What's up guys, it's Thomas from the Band Radius and we're going to break down Wallflowers.
Little Jacob Dillon.
One headlight, we are in drop D.
D for Dillon.
[A#]
Here we go.
[D] Sweet opening riff.
[B] We get a drum beat.
[D] [A] [D] We're just doing an open D, an A, [G] open G, [A] and then second fret of the G.
[D] He's got like this tremolo effect on there and he just repeats it twice.
And then he does 5-4 on the D string, then 5 on the A string, an [A] open A, [B] second fret
on the A.
[B]
Okay?
And these [D] chords
[G] [D] [F#]
[A] [G]
Okay, so this is what he's going to do.
I'll tell you these verse chords.
We're in G and we're doing 5-5-5.
Thank goodness for drop D tuning.
Makes our bar chords way simpler.
So we're just on 5-5-5 and that's our G.
[D] We're going to D, which is 5-5-5.
If you're lazy, you could do this.
Completely open.
[G]
[D] So
[F#]
4-4-4, F sharp,
[D] [B] B [A] minor, A.
That's [G] it.
[D] [F#]
[B] [A] [G]
[D] [F#] F sharp,
[B] E minor.
[A] [G]
[D] [F#] [B]
[A] [G] That's the really easy way.
I guess if you're all on fourth [D]
[F#] fret, [Am] 9-5 [G] -7-5.
[D]
[F#] 4-9 [Am]-7 [G]-5.
Okay?
And then the little pre-chorus before the chorus is G,
[F#] A, A, A.
[G] So there's only going to be four chords in the chorus.
This is the first one.
G, 5-5-5, [D] then D.
Or open, or fourth fret.
D is the second one.
Then we're doing E minor, [Em]
7-9-9-8.
And then we're right here for the A, which is just [A] 7-7-7.
Because we're in drop D.
[G] So
Come and try a [D] little.
That's right there.
Move [E] it up.
Got to be [A] something better than being a [G] little, being a [D] Cinderella.
Put it all [E] together, we can drive it [A] home with one [D] headlight.
[G] So, that [D]
[F#] [B]
[A] [G] is the easy way to play One Headlight.
It's actually the verse, pre-chorus, just two chords.
Just G [F#] to the F sharp.
And then the [G] chorus, which is G [D] to D, [E] E minor to A.
And it kind [G] of makes this [D] box.
[E] [A]
[G] [D] And that's it.
[D] Super easy song, and very catchy.
And man, yeah, the drums just lay it down the whole time.
And you know what?
I don't think I ever heard a crash cymbal in that song.
I think he's on the hi-hats the whole time.
So let me know if you guys hear a crash cymbal.
I think that's the only song where the drummer doesn't play a crash cymbal.
Very innovative, and it works.
So, kudos to you, Wallflowers.
Alright guys, we'll talk to you later.
