Chords for Rock and Roll Duty guitar lesson

_ [E] Rock and Roll Duty by Kim Mitchell.
Here's a [A] quick run through. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ The old open A string for you to [A] tune to me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] This song starts on an A _ suspended second or A suspended fourth, I'm not sure exactly.
Technically, what it is, it's an A chord, you're barring the second fret,
and you're adding this D note, which is the third fret of the second string.
And that's your starting chord right there.
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Obviously, [E] you pull [A] the note off. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] Okay, easy enough.
And then you take your third finger here, on the third fret of the fourth string,
and you're going to slide it up to the fifth fret.
_ _ [G] _
_ And _ then you're going to let the open G note, the third string right underneath ring.
_ [Gbm] _
Same note.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
You're going to bar these two notes right here, on the third fret, the first two strings.
[G] _ _ _ [E] And you're just going to kind of play them up.
[G] _ _ _ _
If _ you _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ have a whammy bar there, yeah, you want [Gb] to give it a bit of a shake.
If you don't, you just kind of got to do it with your [G] hands. _
_ _ [N] _ Okay?
And then you're doing a D suspended fourth, or D suspended second, I'm not sure.
It's your _ basic D chord pattern, which you all probably know.
And you're adding that pinky right here [Ab] on the first string.
And again, you're going to be pulling that [Eb] off.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [G] _ And then [A] let's _
_ [D] _ _ [F] kind of palm mute this with your right hand, to make it sound a bit better.
It's an open E, [E] open sixth string.
_ [G] _ [Am] It's _ _ _ _ pretty [E] easy to do, actually.
It's just [Gm] _ _
[A] _ [F] _ [G] [A] open fifth.
_ [C] _ _
You can kind of bend that slightly.
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] [Am] Kind of shake it a bit, too, if you have a fast vibrato.
_ _ [Dm] _ [A] Okay, _ _ so let's [Ab] do that one [A] slowly. _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [G] _ [Am] _ _ _ [A] _
The chords for the [G] verse of the song are pretty [Gb] easy.
It's just an [G] A, a [Gb] G, [E] a funny D that I'll show you, and then an F, and I think a [A] G. _ _
So you're starting on the A.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [N] You take the G.
Don't use that note in the G.
You can play [G] your G like that. _ _ _
_ [N] And then you do a D chord with an F-sharp bass note.
_ If you've never done that chord before, you start off with a D,
but instead of using _ _ _ this finger right here, you put that finger there.
So you kind of end up with that sort of thing.
And you're not going to be playing the high E string here.
And you wrap this finger around, and you put it on [Gb] that lowest note right there.
And you just sort of use the meat of your finger to stop this fifth string from ringing out.
Because that doesn't sound right in the chord.
[D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now if that's really [E] hard for you, you can just do a normal D chord.
It sounds almost as [Am] good.
_ _ _ [G] _ Then you do an [F] F, which is a barre chord like this.
Or you can just do the power chord, the first three strings on the first fret.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
Then to a [Bb] G on the third fret.
[A] _ _ _ _ And then into that whole pattern again.
So let's run through that chord pattern again for the verse.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And the second time [E] through the verse, or third time, fourth time, maybe, I'm not sure,
_ _ when he [F] goes to the F, he goes to the F.
_ _ [G] And instead _ _ [C] of going back into that chord pattern, he goes up to the fifth fret, [D] D.
_ _ _ _ [Ab]
This is where he sings, I'm just doing my rock and roll duty, _ _ right before the chorus.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Most of you know these [E] chords, they're like the rock and roll chord.
That's technically adding a sixth [F] to the chord. _
_ Fifth fret here, fifth string.
Seventh fret, fourth string.
And you're just putting that pinky off and on there.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] If you can pull it off and bend your finger like this, you can [Gb] play more of [D] the chords. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [N] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ Now there's only two slight changes he makes to the chords throughout this song.
One is just after that first impossible little fast fill that he does.
And _ he takes the distortion off the guitar, you can hear it in [C] the background.
And he just _ [A] plays_ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ [N] And they're the same chords, it's just played a little bit differently.
It's played on the high strings.
You can use some chorus here if you want to. _
Bar your A chord like this, but put your little finger on the first two notes,
[A] first two strings of the fifth fret. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And then just [G] bar the first two strings of the third fret,
and play like the first, the top four strings. _ _ _ _ _ _
Then a [D] D, _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] then a G.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ And you can cut the distortion and go back to the regular chord.
_ _ The other slightly different thing he does is just before [E] the guitar solo,
he'll do one _ [A] run of _ the_
_ [G] _ _ _ _ He'll [Ab] take this whole chord pattern and slide it down [F] two frets. _ _ _
