Chords for I Saw Her Standing There - Mjsokes' Explanation to Lead Guitar

[E] _ _ I'm going to try to do an explanation of I Saw Her Standing There, [N] because I've gotten
a lot of responses _ on that video _ of [Gm] people who want to know how to play it the way I played it.
And I'm going to try to explain some of the little, the tricks that give it more of a
kind of a Beatle-y vibe _ [A] _
that are easy and, _ you know, easy to explain, hopefully.
_ [E] So I'm not going to do every little riff that he does, that George did, because [N] it would
take like, you know, half an hour.
But I'll do the major parts.
_ So that should give you, you know, _ _ a taste of how to really go into it and figure out
what he did.
So the introduction _ [Em] _
is _ _ _ _ [G] deceptively simple.
_ It's just one chord. _ _
You know, it's based on one chord.
_ [Gb] It's a D7 shape, _ _ _ _ _ moved [C] up to [Eb] the fourth [Ab] fret. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] [Eb] And I recommend you play it like [B] this, [E] _ _ _ _
[D] because getting the sound that George [N] got requires
your pointer finger pulling off at a certain time and giving it a certain sound.
[E] Here's what I'm talking [Bm] about.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ That's [Gb] how I hear [E] the sound.
And I think it's a really cool, [Ab] you know, _ _ _ [Em] it gives it a nice, nice flavor to it.
So what you do is, again, it's a D7 shape, [F] moved up to the fourth [Ab] fret. _
_ And you just pull off your pointer finger [Em] _ at this little moment, you know.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [N] One more thing, when you do those little riffs, do them as quickly and abruptly as you can,
no matter how awkward it feels.
Because that gives it that_
that's how George kind of did it, you know.
It's hard to explain, and it's really strange, because most people play [G] fluidly, you know. _
_ _ _ But for George, it was _ _ _ like_ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] Very herky-jerky.
[G] And that gives it that_
the right kind of feel to it.
So that's what I recommend.
[Ab] So when you're coming off _ the_
_ _ _ you want to jerk that [G] riff.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ And keep that kind [N] of_
keep that in your mind throughout the entire song.
_ The next major part is the middle eight.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] It's basically just [C] this. _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ And then this part is [F] my favorite part of the [N] song. _ _ _
_ It's going to be a little tricky to explain.
You have to start _ holding the guitar kind of like this.
So your thumb is free [E] to do whatever it needs to do here.
_ This is how it goes.
I'm probably going to mess up the exact sound, but you'll get the right idea.
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
You _ _ _ slide your [E] thumb on the low E string to the fifth fret. _ _ _
You want to get that sound.
It's a very Gretsch-type sound.
[A] _ _ And then, _ [N]
with your ring finger, _ _ on the seventh fret, _ you play the G, B, and E strings very abruptly.
[Bm] _ _
_ _ [E] So_
[Bm] _ _ _
that's [E] how it begins.
_ [A] _ [Bm] _ _
_ Now [N] you take your pointer finger and middle finger and make this [Bm] shape. _ _ _
_ _ It's the _ [N] fourth fret, G string, third fret, B string. _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] You'll know why that's important in context.
_ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] It's again third fret, B string, fourth fret, G string.
_ Slide it up [Em] from the third fret to the fifth fret.
[E] _ _ _ _
And then play the _ [B] D string _ seventh fret with your ring [A] finger. _ _
It fits [Ab] right in place for [A] this kind of chord. _ _
_ _ _ Sorry if [N] that's too intricate, but it makes [E] sense when you hear it as a whole.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ Alright, [A] _ _ _
[D] that's that part.
[Dm] Now I'm going to do the solo really quick because I [G] only have ten minutes.
_ But the key again is herky-jerky.
You can get all the notes in tabs,
but to get the sound you want to do it really _ _ _ _ [C] quick and abrupt,
and _ _ [Dm] emphasize and bring out the notes that George does.
I'm going to play it a little bit [Em] slower than the record now.
Again, if I mess up, please forgive me.
I apologize.
_ And here it is.
[Bb] _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [D] _ [G] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] I can't go into each little part of that.
The keys, in my opinion, are this part.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ Your _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ thumb _ _ _ _ _ _ is doing this.
Your thumb to your pointer finger, fifth fret.
From the E string [A] to the D [G] string.
_ _ Then you take your ring [Em] finger and slide up.
_ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ Do [Eb] that.
And then [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[G] _ _ up to the tenth fret, E string.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] Be abrupt.
That's another [N] one of those abrupt moments.
_ So this part is, again, one of my favorites.
You have to kind _ of glaze the strings lightly to get [G] that_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's hard to explain with words, but you kind of hear it. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
It's hard.
It takes a lot of [N] practice, and I screw it up all the time.
_ Just keep at it, and you'll get [G] that.
_ But the shape _ _ is_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] _ _
_ [Gbm] _ _ And then the outro, [Em] which I'll do really quick, is _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
just_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And this chord.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] Hopefully that helps you.
It's not every little riff, but it should give you a rough idea.
_ _ Enjoy it, and I hope it helps. _
