Hey, so I've been getting some requests about a tab or tutorial on how I play the theme
from Up, which is called Married Life.
There we go, looks a little better.
So I figured I would just do a quick tutorial, because I kind of don't want to write out
a tab, and it's generally an easy tune.
It's on the key of C, pretty easy shapes.
The hardest shape is a F major 7, which is a bar 5, [F] and then your ring finger frets 7
on the top string.
So string number 1, right?
[Dm]
[F#] So that's the hardest shape you need to know.
So we're going to start out with a C, open C shape, index finger on 3rd fret, right?
Pinky finger is going to jump up to the 7th fret.
That's your first part of the melody.
You [Em] play a C major [Am] 7, which is index finger, 2nd fret.
So you just slide down from your previous position.
[C] Back up to C.
[Am] Now we're going to play A minor.
So the melody goes, [Em] [Am]
[Em] [Am]
now, again, first string, -3 -0, so, [C] then you play a C. All that together. [Em] [Am] [C]
Now, we're going to slide up, [Em] just like that, [F] and then that's where the F major 7 comes in. [Dm] [Am] [C] It's [Em] [F] the F major 7. That's the only hard shape. Now your ring finger is going to pull off, [Dm] and [A] you play 2nd string, and then go back to your F major 7. [Dm] Ring finger pulls off. [C] Top string, [F] 3rd fret, F. So, the [Em] melody is this, [D] [C]
[A] right? Your shape is just going to be F major [Dm] 7, [F] F major [G] 7, [C] [F] I guess a C shape, but you don't play the C chord, and then F, right? [C#] Now we've played the first part of the melody. We're going to start on the second part of the melody. Pretty similar. We're just changing a few things. [F#] Back to C shape with our index finger. This time we're not going to jump up to the 7th fret, we're only going to jump up to the 3rd fret with our ring finger. [Em] Now, keep your index finger [D] on the 2nd fret, [Em] do the same thing, E minor, and then keep the E minor shape, play 2-1-2, so strings 2, 1, and 2, [G] G7, and then [Em] here's where the build happens. So you're going to just pull your index finger off, [G] and that's where you [Em] go [F] [G]-1-3, and then the top string goes-2. So that's your [D] ring finger. You [Em] just pull your ring finger off, put it back on. [G] [A] [G] And then repeat everything [C] over again. I like to do it with a little roll the second time around, [Am] but you [G] don't have to. And then that's the only part of the melody I actually know. The whole piece is longer, there's a solo section, but I didn't learn all that.
