How To Play The Beatles I've Just Seen a Face (intro only) chords
Start Jamming...
I've just seen a phases in the key of A and it starts off with a hybrid picked introduction.
Let's take a look at that first of all.
[F#m]
[Em] [F#m]
[Bm] [A]
Okay, we start with the bass note pickup, open fifth string, sixth string, fourth [G#] fret.
[G#m] And then into this little run, which has a second guitar part running underneath it actually
outlining the chords, but I think this is the best [Bm] of the two guitars to play to get
an intro that sounds like the record.
You want the fourth string, second fret [F#m] and the first three strings, no fourth string,
fourth fret and the first three strings at the second fret.
It's an F sharp minor chord.
We're going to play four, one, two, one, two, one.
And notice that because I'm going to be strumming [D#] for most of this song, I'm using the pick
and fingers here.
I'm hybrid picking.
Thumb takes the, the pick takes the lower notes and the, I use the ring finger for the higher notes.
[F#m] Now, having played that, have the middle finger drop onto the [F] third string, third fret, pick
it and immediately slide it to the sixth [C#] fret.
The index finger drops [A] in on the first string, fifth fret.
Play that and then three, one, three, one.
[D#] So we're all in triplets [F#m] here.
One and a two and a three and a four and a.
[F] Now at bar three, drop the ring finger onto the seventh fret of the third string, pick
it and slide it immediately to eleven.
[D]
Drop the first finger in on the first string, ninth fret.
So you do the slide [F#m] and then one, three, one, three, one.
Pick the third string again, slide it immediately to fourteen.
By the way, I've got a guitar with a cutaway here, meaning I can [Em] get there.
If, if you haven't got a cutaway, you'll need to really [D] drop the thumb right down and bring
the fingers right forward to get in there.
The little finger drops in on the first string, fourteen.
So you've gone three, one, three, one, three, one.
[D#] In the same rhythm as the other bar.
[F#] One and a two and a [D] three and a four and a.
Now you want third string eleven, first string ten.
Three, one, three, one, three, one.
[Bm] Slide the third string to the twelfth fret.
[Em] Ring finger drops in on the first string, twelve.
[F#] So [Em] three, one, three, one, three, one.
[Bm] Same rhythm.
One and a two and a three [Em] and a four and a.
And slide the whole shape up to the fourteenth fret of bar five and play the whole [E] bar.
One and a two and a three and a four [D] and a.
[B]
Now down to the thirteenth fret of the third and the twelfth fret of the first.
[D#] You could slide into it if you like, I tend not to actually.
Three, one, three, one, three, one.
And bring the [Em] whole shape down two frets to [Bm] eleven and ten.
Three, one, three, one, three, one.
In the same rhythm.
[A] So here's that whole hybrid picked introduction slowly.
[G#] [F#m] [D]
[Em] [D]
[E]
[Bm] [A]
