Chords for Sangria - Guitar Lesson and Tutorial - Blake Shelton

_ _ Sangria is a big hit for country star Blake Shelton,
and it was written by J.T. Harding, Josh Osborne,
and Trevor Rosen.
The song's in the key of A,
and we'll put a capo on the second fret
of the acoustic guitar so that we can use
nice open key of G chords,
and really just have two pretty easy
strum patterns to learn.
The lead guitar has kind of this eerie sound to it,
so we're gonna put a bunch of delay and reverb on.
The part's just a collection of these key of A riffs
that we're gonna use throughout the song.

To start, let's get a capo on the second fret.
We just need to learn four chords.
And the main progression in the song
is in this order as well.
So it's the E minor [F#m] seven to start, _
open low [C#m] E, second fret [F#m] of A, second fret [A] of D,
open G, third fret of B, third fret of high E.
[D] Then we move to a C2.
_ _ [F#] And so our ring finger [Am] and our pinky finger stay the same.
[D] Then we've got third [F#] fret of A, second [A] fret of D, open G.
_ [D] _ [E] Then a standard G.
So we just move these two fingers over
third [C#m] fret of low E, second fret of [A] A, open D, open G.
Then we keep the third fret of B, third fret of high E.
_ And then we have a standard [E] D chord.
_ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [F#] All right, so we're doing palm muting here,
which is where we've got the flesh of our right hand
resting lightly on the strings
right on top of the saddle here.
And then we're just doing all down strokes,
four down strokes per chord.
One, two, three, [D] four, one, two, three, [A] four,
one, two, three, [E] four, one, two, [F#] three, four, one.
And you can see that I'm using that fourth down stroke
as a transitional down stroke, right?
So I'm kind of lifting my fingers up.
One, two, three, four.
So that's really what you're playing on that fourth beat.
And it's okay, because it's just kind of a passing down
stroke and we're getting over to the C2.
Go.

right, the lead guitar work for this song
is this kind of eerie, far away feel to it the whole time.
So I [C#] slapped on a bunch of reverb,
a bunch of eighth note delay.
And I got a nice trebly tone,
so I'm using my bridge pickup here.
And just a little bit of gain, not too much,
just a little bit, just so we get some sustain
when we're holding some of these notes out.
It's just a series of different riffs, basically.
Some of them repeat, some of them don't.
So pull up the tabs right beneath the video player
at sixstringcountry.com.
We're gonna go through them in the order
we encounter them in the song.
So the first one we need to do is this intro-outro riff.
This one does repeat itself a couple times,
and it looks like this.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] _ All right, after that bridge, we get to the bridge solo,
which looks like this.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And [E] then we're into the chorus.
So that's all on the B and the high E string.
We're gonna take our pinky.
We're gonna start on the fifth fret of B.
Leave this high E string open.
We're gonna pick it, slide up to seven.
[B] _ Some more takes.
Three, go.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
