Let's [A] _ _
go and [F#m] _ play guitar
_ [D] Hi _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ and welcome to my easy strum lesson on how to play Stand By Me by Benny King on guitar.
The guitar is tuned standard E A D [G] G B E
[Em] And first [F#m] let's take a look at the chords
[N] Our first chord is A major
[A] We're _ _ _ _ _ [N] holding down the D, the G and the B string at fret 2
and strumming all the strings or we [A] can strum from the A string
_ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ We'll be playing an F sharp minor 7 this way
_ [F#m] _ _ or this way
_ _ _ You can hold down everything at the second fret from the D string down
_ _ Or if you can, you can bring your thumb across the top and grab the F sharp
and mute the A string and strum
Just like that.
That's F [F] sharp minor 7
D major
[D] We're making that D major by placing a finger on the second fret G string
the B string third fret and the high E string second fret
_ _ [E] And then E major _ _
_ Holding down the A string second fret, the D string second fret
and the G string first fret and strumming all the strings
We'll _ _ _ _ be able to strum these four chords throughout the entire tune
We're going to use an easy strumming pattern like this
[A] We're _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ strumming down, up, up, down, down, up, up, down
Just like that
We'll start [B] with an A chord
[A] _
_ _ _ _ _ F sharp [F#m] minor
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] E
_ _ [A] A
and _ _ we'll repeat
And _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ that's my easy strum lesson for Stand By Me by Beanie King on guitar
