Hey, what's up you guys?
Marty Schwartz here with Marty Music, and we're going to break down Float On right now.
Also thank you so much for supporting my thing, Marty Music.

Also if you just need a direction for learning guitar, I have a bunch of great resources.
Just check the links in the description below.
Thank you.
Now let's break it down.
All right, we're going to start with this little F sharp major triad.
_ _ Sounds fancier than it is because [D] it's just a D chord.
D, E, F, F sharp.
[Gb] _ _ _ So that's a sixth fret G, seventh fret B, sixth fret high E. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Then _ _ _ [Bbm] we just flatten our finger across the sixth fret G, B, high E.
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] Same rhythm.
Then index finger on the sixth of the high E is how we can track that.
We have this little minor triad, which would be E flat minor, we could call it, or D sharp minor.
_ So that right there is eight, seven, six. _
_ _ _ [Bbm] Then you go back to that, everything covering the six again, but then we grab ring finger _ _
on the eighth fret D, and we can call that B flat minor.
So we [Gb] have F sharp major, _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ then that one, which can be looked at a few different ways
because of the bass.
_ [Ebm] Then this little minor, E flat minor triad, _ _ _ _ [Bbm]
and then the B flat minor triad, which is
almost exactly like the second chord.
Here we go, play [Gb] with me.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] All right, now we have that melodic line, the really cool line.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ All right, so we start on the 11 of the G, _ _ and we do 11 G, 11 B, and 9 high E, _ _ and then
back to the 11 of the B.
_ And [Eb] then now we _ do 9 to 11 on the B.
_ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[E] Then it's now middle finger on the 10 of the G, [Bbm] but the rest of the line is the same.
_ _ _ _ Now you'd think it would go down again, and I saw tabs where it said that, but listening
to it, it's this note again, even though the rest of the chords are changing. _ _ _
_ [Ebm] And then, _ _ _ _ and I think of it like this, [Bb] one, two, three, four, five, six, [Abm] _
seven, da, da,
one, two, three, four, five, [Gb] six, da, da, da, [Bb] one, two, three, four, five, six, [Ab] then
_ which would be nine and seven.
[Em] So, [Gb] oh, sorry, _ 11 of the G. _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
All right, let's put it all together, see what we can get here. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ All right, and so then, as far as the chorus or when it breaks down, _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
it [Gb] just picks through
the same chord voicing. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] And then with this one, _ _ you go all the way across, _ _ _ _ _ just like that.
And then you [Bb] have the whole song.
So get to it, have fun, knock it [Gb] out.
All right, I hope you guys [E] enjoyed the lesson.
Thank you again for the great, great support.
Feel free to request [Ab] stuff in the comments below, and while you're down there, I appreciate
