Chords for Knockin on Heaven's Door with easy solo, tutorial, mandolin

_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ Hi everybody, this is a knock on heaven's door _
_ Tutorial for you.
I'm gonna just play the song.
We're gonna just do a very simple chord version
_ First in G and then I'm gonna show you a simple melody that you can play
_ On the mando _ with other people whatever you want to do
_ Okay, so the chords you're gonna need and you should know these by now a G
_ _ _ _ _ Okay C, which [C] is just like a G moved to the middle two strings _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ And [D] D _ _ _ _ _ _
And _ [C] you're gonna need an a minor now there's two ways to play an a minor _ you can play like a C chord
_ _ And then try to [Am] squish these _ _ two
_ strings the fourth
Pair of strings and the third pair of strings together
_ _ _ So that's second fret second fret third fret _ _ _
Mute that top one if you want _ _ _
That's a little tough because you've got that little bar
If you want one that's not barred a nice a minor is the second fret _ _ of that
D string _ and the fifth fret of the low G _ _ _ _ _ _
Yes, not barred
_ _ _ Whether it sounds as good as not that's up to you
[G] But here we go
_ so the song
_ The progression is very repetitive.
It starts like this
G _
[D] _ V _ [Am] _ _ _
C
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ G D [C] C, _ _ _ that's the whole song
[G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ Okay, [G] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ so first of all, what am I strumming I'm going
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Down down down up down one two three
_ So that's one measure _ _
And _ _ [D] you do the D _
Do _ _ [Am] the a minor for two measures? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then _ _ [G] you're back to G for measure _ [D] D for measure _
_ _ _ C for two [C] measures _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Okay, _ _ _ _ so that's really the entire song I wouldn't lie to you now let's play a little
_ Melody the knock knock knock and put so I'll play it for you once and then show you how we're gonna do it _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ [D] the _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ whole thing is on these first two strings
_ _ And this is a lick you should know once you get past the basic chords.
I call it the G lick _
_ You're on a G chord.
And what you do is you go up same two strings _
fifth fret on the second string seventh fret on the first string _ _ _ _ _ _
And then that moves down same shape
But to the third fret of the a and the fifth fret of [A] the high _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
As _ a lick you can go [D] up and down
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] And
Sounds like [G] brown-eyed girl and a lot of other things _ _ _ _
_ You're _ actually doing the G scale in _ sixths for you music majors out there
_ _ So what am I doing I go one two three four one _ not
_ So that's the _ five and the seven _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Okay, and [G] then down to three and five _ _
_ [Dm] Then _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
back to G and [Am] then when you go to a minor you're gonna play this three and five again
_ _ _ _ I'm doing it all [F] together.
So you can hear that sounds good
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
And _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ then when it goes to C you just [C] move over to a C and you play the first two strings _ _ _ _
_ [G] Okay, so that's it _ _ _
_ [F] And [G] _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
yes, there's all kinds of little _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Things that you can learn if you want to check out I've got a video about pentatonic scales
I'm just doing some pentatonics on that G and C chord _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay, have fun _
