The Clovers Love Potion number 9, what a catchy song.
This is a CVT guitar lesson for my student Sarah.
Campfire style, you want this set up to where you can kind of easily strum it and sing it.
So I think this will work for you.
Not a ton of parts.
Section 1 comes in at seconds and we've got 2 times through of this. [A] [Db] [D] [E] So just power [N] chords. I simplified them. I could have made them bigger but I figured with you singing, less to worry about. 4 E 6 A, so just power chords. It's a standard [E] tuning, so this is a G sharp 5 to an A 5, 4 6 to 5 [A] 7. When you get there just let it ring. So it's 1 2 3 4 and then do the same [Eb] thing underneath which would be C sharp to D on these power chords. 4 6 to 5 [Db] 7 A D. [D] Like I said that goes twice. [A] [D] And then section 2 comes in at 8 seconds. This [Em] is C major. I made these chords a little bigger because you want to have some fullness in the song. [E] 3 A and then 5th fret D G and B. I use my pinky, sometimes I use [B] my 3rd. I'll leave that up to you. I use [C] the closed position chords because I think you're probably pretty decent with these. They can be altered to open [Em] position chords but more finger changes [N] that way. This way makes it a little more rock too. So you're going to strum everything except the E strings. [Eb] If you do hit the E's make sure you're muting tip of the index and the [F] angle here is muting the high [Abm] E. 8 [C] times. [D] Same chord, shape but a whole step higher puts you at 5 7 7 7 so that's C major to D major 8 times [E] to E major. [Eb] So you don't even have to change the shape and that's why I picked these chords. So 8 times, 8 times, 1 time on this E major. 7 9 9 9. [C] [D]
[E] As [N] a matter of fact, the C major chord [C] is 16 times. [D]
[Em] [Gb]
[Am] [D]
[C]
Yes. So 16 [Ab] times of the C, 8 of the D, 1 of the E. [C] [D]
[E] Make sure you rest, oops, that was [Eb] almost real bad. That scared me. Rest on the E chord. In [Gb] other words, what I suggest is to, I call it karate chop. But you want to silence it. [E] Ok, so that would give you this [E] sound. As opposed to this. You don't want it ringing. [G] [C] So. [D]
[E] And then [N] section 3 comes in at 15 seconds. I like this part because, you know, it's really predominantly piano. [Gb] So I tried to copy the piano feel. It's an A minor bar chord. [D] This is probably one of the harder of the chords. Bar everything [N] 5, 7 A, 7 D. Keep these angled so you don't mute anything. [Am] And go. So I'm [A] hitting the root, dropping the pick on the A string, [D] and then strumming everything underneath of it twice. [Am] And then [E] stop, hit the root, up here again, and [A] then strum underneath, [Am] and rest [N] again. So that's twice. [Am]
[N] Ok, then from there, section 4 comes in at 19 seconds. Just stay on this chord. It's going to change the feel just a little bit. But it's similar. It'll go. [Am] [D] [Am]
[D] [Db] [C]
[D]
[E] [N] Alright, so we're doing the A minor bar. Two strums, rest, one strum, [Am] rest. [D] From there, we're going to go to a D major, fifth fret, A string for the root, triple 7's, D, G, B. [B] And same strum. Two strums, rest, one [D] strum, rest. Do [Am] all of it again. Take that shape, [E] and this is a 27 second time stamp. Still same section. It's 3, 5, 5, 5. So it's a C. [Ab] We're going to go 16 times [C] down. [D] D major, A times, [E] E major once, rest. [Eb] Ok, now we hit some repeats. Section 3, two times, that's at 34 seconds. [N] Section 5 comes in at 38 seconds. And it's just another [E] variation here. We're going 5A, 777, D, G, B. So it's our D major. And here's the strum pattern for this. Probably the most commonly used strum pattern. [D] Down, down, up, up, down, up, down, up, up, down, up. Transitioning to [E] B7, which would be barred everything, second fret, well, starting from the A all the way down. 4D and 4B. [Ab] Maybe check them individually. [B] Do the same [B] strum. Index muting E, index muting E. Even if you don't mute this high E, it'll still work. Down, down, up, up, down, up, down, up, up, down, up. [D] Back to D. Down, up, up, down, up, down, down, up, up, down, up. [E] So, transitioning, you know, you've got to get there somewhat quick. [D] So B, maybe [B] test yourself and [D] Like that. [B] Make sure you can [N] land those chord changes. D to B7 to D. And then, after that, you'll go So we're going like this. [D] [D]
[E]
Grab some of the bass [E] line. You don't have to do that. There's no singing over it, so I think you can do that. It'll loop you right back into the repeats. So, by E major, we have 7A, [Gb] 999, D, G, B. You'll go once on those four strings, A through B. Rest, and then twice. And then 7A, [G] 3E, [Ab] 4E. It's a piano [F] bass melody. If you don't want to fill that in, that's fine. I wanted to add something to bring a little different element in [E] there. From there, you're going back to [N] everything's repeats.
