_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [D] _ _ _
[Ab] _ Okay to get started with this tune
Let's take a look at some root double stops that we can play for the key of D
The first one's going to be over the G and the D string here.
It is
This is an a note on the G.
That's your [A] first finger
_ _ _ _ And then an open D now it's a little hidden [G] in this shot, but
[Eb] You have to get your finger completely over that D string keeping it clear of it
So you can let it ring out play [D] these two notes together a and D _ _ _ _
_ _ Then you can [Ab] check that by your middle two strings a [D] and D _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Two double stops that you want to be [Eb] very familiar with for this tune
So we're starting off this tune with two pickup notes and that low a right where we just were on the G string is our
First note two eighth notes here a and B
_ [Bm] _
_ And then we have a downbeat follow these notes along with me after I play them _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Bm] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That's a D [D] quarter note and then we're in eighth notes D F E D B A _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ [Gbm] _ _ With the pickup notes, it sounds like this one two three
_ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] one two [D] three
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[D] [Eb] Okay.
So once you've cycled through that and you're pretty _
You're pretty familiar with it and you're playing it very easily without thinking about it
Let's add in some double stopping whenever you're on the a string.
Let's blend [D] with the open a
_ _ _ That _ _ so if we just add to this blended double stop _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and then when we get to our note on the G string
Which is a B.
We're gonna blend our D and our G
_ _ Ending on that root double stop _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ One two three _
_ _ _ _ _ _ One two three _ _ _ _ _
_ One two three _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Okay, we continue on from there
_ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ _
That's [Gb] D F E D B G a [Bb] B
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gbm] _ _
Okay, and again, we're gonna blend our notes here
_ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ And that D is going to be the [Ab] downbeat and the root note for our next little section here one together one two three
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [Gbm] _ _ one two [D] three _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ one two three _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ Okay, so that's it for notes now we're gonna in the next section continue on with this first part _ _
_ Remember you don't always have to double stop [Gb] it depends on the player
I like to try to start this tune a little cleaner and then as I play through it a couple more times add in more
Double stopping.
All right on to the next section _
