Love this request.
Took me for [Db] a trip down
memory lane.
A song I forgot about.
Steelers Wheel.
Stuck in the middle with you.
Her request
of the adept guitarist.
_ _ Man what a great song.
You know what it reminds me of is when
John Lennon, after he left the Beatles, [Abm] he did that song, Christ you know it ain't easy.
You know how hard it can [B] be.
Well the way things are going, _ they're gonna crucify me.
I forget what that's called but that's what this reminds me of.
Good song dude.
Good request.
Thank you and here you go.
_ Couple guitar players in the band.
_ The part I'm showing you is a
12 string.
So I'm doing it on a 6 string.
So 12 string acoustic because I don't have
one so I can't show you it on a 12.
But it just sounds like two guitars.
You got two
strings stuck real close together for each one.
So you get a bigger sound.
You know highs
and lows and all that.
So I'm gonna show the intro in this.
Start with D major.
Make sure,
oh I didn't tell you, it's drop D tuning.
So tune this top string to a D.
It's a whole
step down on this.
The rest are the same.
It's called drop D tuning.
Middle finger 2E,
third finger 3B, first finger 2G.
The cool thing with drop D is when you hit a [D] D chord,
_ _ you get that low D on it.
[E] A good example of a song for that is Rage Against the [D] Machine
Killing in the name of.
The very first chord it's like. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ It's fatter.
It gives you a really
full sound.
This is a good example of that too.
He's not hitting this top one super hard
but it's in there.
So _ _ here's what you want to do.
[B] Because the melody is like.
_ [C] _ _ _
[B] _ [C] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [B] So the
way it's feeling natural for me, and so this is how I think he's doing it, but _ is to start
with an upstroke [D] and hit all the strings. _ _
Up, down.
_ Then go [E] 5G, 5B.
I'm using third
finger and pinky for that.
You'll see why.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] And then do an upstroke softly like graze
all the strings.
[D] Watch.
Up, [Bm] down.
Then [D] do that.
I _
[A] think _ _ that's in there.
[D] Dang it. _
[A] Yeah.
[E] It's not loud.
It's not going [D] _ [G] _
[Ab] real soft.
It's a filler to [D] keep it flowing.
_ [Am] _ _
_ _ Okay.
So we did
the 5G, 5B.
You're going to strum those all six.
[D] Not hard.
[A] You don't want, particularly
these lows aren't really loud.
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
Then go 4G, middle finger and 3B, first finger.
So we
have, _ _ _ mute out that high E with your first finger, angle it.
[D] Okay. _
[A] _ _ _ Then rest to set your
strum [D] handle with the strings.
[A] _ _ _ _
And go [Ab] 2G, middle finger, 1B, first finger.
It's the
same shape, just a whole step [D] flat.
_ [A] _ _ [Am] _ Upstroke.
Okay.
And then up, down, _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ then lift [Em] them off,
opens, go up, down, and bring it right back [E] down to 2G, [Am] 1B.
_ _ _ Go up, down, _ up, and then
start [D] over.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ You [B] got a little rest in there.
_ _ [A] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Bm] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [B] All right.
Great request.
I'm so stoked over
this one.
Stealer's Wheel.
If you haven't heard it, some of you younger cats, go check
it out.
Very Beatle-ish.
And the Beatles are my all-time favorite.
So I forgot about the
song, to be honest with you.
It just took me back as soon as I heard the first like
five seconds.
I'm like, oh man, I remember this song.
And I remember the band and everything.

It is played on a 12-string acoustic.
I need
to get one, man.
I need a 12-string acoustic and a seven-string electric, and I'd be a
happy man and a better acoustic period really, [B] it's a better six-string acoustic.
