_ _ Hi, this is Gaylord again.
This time I thought I'd show you [N] how to do Rockin' Me Baby by
Steve Miller.
Hey, this is a great song to learn no matter whether you're an intermediate
player, a beginner player, whatever.
There's only three chords in it, A, G, and D, so it's
going to be easy for you to learn [B] and I'll show you how to play some bass licks behind
it to really make it sound full.
Now he plays it in a B, he plays it with some bar chords
on a B.
I'm the only guitar player in my band, so I want that guitar to sound as full as
I can.
To [E] do that, I'm going to use a capo on two and I'm going to play [B] the song in A.
See, that's a lot fuller sound like that, okay?
Plus it's a little bit easier for me
to play the riffs, so there's my real reason.
But anyway, it does, [G#] it makes your guitar
sound a lot fuller.
Okay, you're going to start off with a G to an A on this for this
beginning riff and that G, [A] on that G chord, all I'm playing is those bottom six, five,
four, maybe the third string, like that, [B] _ _ [E] and I'm going to [Am] an A.
[B] _ _ [Bm] But on my A chord, I'm
going to use my index finger, I'm going to [B] bar four, three, two.
I'm [F#] not going to play
the _ open E, I'm just going to play [B] four, three, two with that [A] bar.
So, [B] _ do [Em] a little bit of
a slide down, not much of a slide you can do when you're [B] on two and you've got a capo
there, but do [A] a little slide.
[B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now that little riff, that's the A and I'm using my ring finger
to get up to the third fret on the second string, _ like that.
[E] Now it's important that
you use [B] your ring finger here.
One thing that I try and teach on guitar is that you get
ready to position your fingers for the next [C] chord you're going to be playing, [G#] okay?
[A#] And
what we're going to do on [G#] that next riff, you're going to have to use your pinky to
get up here to the fourth [E] string.
_ _ _ _ And it's a lot easier to do if you're [B] using your middle
finger here, [E] and that's hard to [B] get to.
So if you _ _ position your _ finger, _ [E] using your ring
finger on that third fret second string, that next riff is easy.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [G] Like that, okay?
[D] Then
that riff is, _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] that's sixth and fifth string.
Open, [A] _ _ _ third on [F#m] six, _ [B] _ _ open [D] five, three on [Am] five,
[B] _ _ three on six, open five.
_ [D] _ [B] _ _
[A] _ [B] _ [D] _ [B] _ _ That's it.
And then the chords [E] start on the verses.
He [B] goes to
an A. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] G, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] D, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A.
[B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] Now if you want to get a little fancy, you want to make it sound good, throw
these bass notes in there.
And here's the bass notes that you're, not really bass, but
kind of [B] sound like that. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ [B] _ [F#] All you're doing there, _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] that's on the fourth string, [G#] _ [F#] _
two and
four, [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] fifth [G#] fret, fourth [B] fret two.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [G#m] _
[A] Then G chord, and you're hitting that, again you're
down on that open four, _ _ open to two on the fourth string.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [G] _ [F#] And then it [G] goes two to three
[A] fret there.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] And then your D, open A string, _ _ and a two on A, _ _ two on five, [F#m] _ [D] _ and three [A] on
five.
[B] _
[E] So it's two, [A] _ _ _
two three, [E] two, _ [A] _ _
like _ [D] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ [B] that's all there [F] is to it through the whole song.
So, hey I hope you enjoy [G#] that.
_ _ _ Let's try that beginning part one more time, just because
I [A] like to play it.
[B] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ Hey I hope you enjoyed that, I hope that's an easy song for you to
learn.
God bless you, have fun with that.
See you later.
