Chords for Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms Open Position

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ [G] _ This particular video is in response to a request
_ _ Timely request from _ _
_ _ [B] So from a friend on [G] YouTube an unknown friend.
Well, thank you for the request.
So here we go _
[Ab] Open we've removed the capo no capo to anymore open position key of G
[C] We can use any G.
[G] We'd like _ a lot of people are comfortable with this one
I'm going to use this shape for this particular sequence of chords because
[D] _ [C] _
[G] It makes sense a little later in the song we end up having to use a g7
So I don't want to change I prefer not to change from [Em] this shape to this shape
I prefer to do this kind of thing.
So it [Ebm] looks just like the C chord, but sort of exploded _
[G] We [D] do have an iBook available on the iOS store on the iBook store
That [N] covers all of the open position chords and some of the theories that bind them all together.
So
Check that out.
[Ab] It's a good one and [C] it's free.
You'll like it _
[G] _ So we're going to start today with the G chord so G
Finger 3 on [D] fret 3 in the low E string finger 2 on fret 2 in the a
The next three strings are open [G] open D G and B
So on the top of all that we have the open I'm sorry the high E string on fret number 3
The fourth finger so 3 2 open open open and then finger 4 on fret 3
And _ [B] _ we're going to
[G] sort of animate that with _ our
down stroke pattern _ _ _ _ _ and just 1 2 3 4 and every time we count 4
The next down beat of the first beat of the next measure will be the next number in the number sequence.
So for example _ _
1 2 3 4 2 3 4 3 2 3 4 4
_ 5 2 3
Well, we'll learn a little bit about counting if we don't know already
The next chord in sequence is D and that's used with we usually do this with [D] for this particular song fingers 1 3 & 2
I mean you can use fingers 2 3 & 4 if you want [E] it sort [Gb] [G] of
Approach D [D] position bar chords, but not for this
_ _ Necessary could be fun
[A] _ But [D] not for the song
So we have open D finger 1 fret 2 on the G and finger 3 on fret 3 and B
Finger 2 on fret 2 on the high E string.
Okay piece of cake
Then the next [C] chord that we encounter is a C and then C is [G] no low E string
We use the tip of the finger
To sort of like
Touch up against the string [Gb] so that we can choke it out [C] in case we you know, like you're like me
You have a sloppy right hand sometimes _
Rock and roll right hand.
So the third finger is on the a string on fret number three finger two is on fret number
[E] two on the D [G] string open G
finger [C] one on fret
_ One [D] on the D string and [Em] an open high E [C] so we have three two open one open C E G C E
_ Really nice chord will also _
_ Practice that strum pattern on this chord will [G] practice that strum pattern on all chords
_ _ if we were to count through [N] the entire 16 bar sequence of
Rolling my sweet babies arms in open position in the key of G.
This is what it [G] would look like
One two, three four, here we go
one two, three four two three four three two three four four
_ five two three four six _
[D] seven two three four eight
[G] _ nine three four ten
_ [C] eleven three twelve
_ [G] thirteen
_ [D] Fourteen and [G] then fifteen and then sixteen
_ Usually [N] at the end of each 16 bar pattern in songs like this
Guitar players like to twangers like to get fillers [G] like to throw [Bm] this
[E] [G] G [F] run [Gm] in there.
So _ [Em] that's
[G] _ I can do a sequence of a pile of different G runs if that's of interest to [F] anyone
_ Later on but it's beyond the scope of this video.
So we have this really nice
[G] Chord pattern it's really important to get familiar with the strum pattern _
_ Because it will turn into something else.
It'll evolve into something else later on but for now, it's really important to get that right hand
_ _ Down down down down and really get it to be a mechanism and it sort of bounces in them as [C] we
[G] We strum through the down stroke.
We pluck through the down stroke to present the bass note first
the rest of the chord sort of is just a flick of the wrist _ _ _ and
You can flick your wrist in the middle of the range of the strings the string set or you can
_ Look your ring your wrist on the high end of the range of the string set. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So
_ _ _ _ _ So _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [C] _
[D] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ that's it
Thanks for watching and [Gb] subscribe.
[G] There will be other videos
Maybe we'll take another detailed more detailed look at the right [Ab] hand the strumming pattern and [G] all this walking bass line stuff
In another [C] video.
I will see you soon
