Start Jamming...
[G#m]
Hi, welcome to five-minute guitar lessons in today's lesson
We're gonna learn there is a light that never goes out by the Smiths and that's on the album.
The Queen is dead from 1986
Before we get started.
I have a couple things to let you know
first of all, this song uses a capo on the fourth fret so
When we're putting our capo on we want to make sure it's right beside the fret
[E] You get a nice clean sound that way secondly take a moment to look in our description
Underneath this video.
There's a link to our chord chart for this song
That'll help you follow along with this lesson and with the original recording.
Alright, here we go
Here are the chords we'll be learning for this song C
F
[A]
G
[B]
A minor [C#m]
and [F#m] D minor
Now [C#m]
let's try playing the verse together.
We're just gonna do four down strokes per measure
one two, three four
[A]
[E] [B] [C#m]
[A]
[E] [B] [C#m]
[A]
[E] [B] [C#m]
[A]
[E] [B]
The strumming pattern in this song goes down down up up [E] down up and we can learn that in two parts first we go
down down up and then we go up down up putting that all together we get down down up up
Down up.
All right.
Now, let's try that out over the chords to the verse
one two, three [C#m] four
[A]
[E] [B] [C#m]
[A]
[E] [B]
[C#m]
[A] [E] [B]
[C#m]
[A] [E] [B]
people on the fourth fret and
All that does is it takes everybody's all the shapes that everybody knows all these open chord shapes [G] like [F] C [G] F
G [E] all those ones and it turns them into entirely different chords
You're still playing a C shape and for our purposes
I could tell you hey play C with a capo on the fourth fret and you'd get it
But really you're actually playing in in this case an E chord
[A] The F [E] is actually an A chord
So it's important to know that that's how an easy way to change keys on guitar
another thing that's important to know is if the song falls out of your vocal range say the
Singer and the tune is singing like super high and you can't get that high
you could always lower the capo down a bit and
then use the exact same shapes play the song the exact same way you learned how to do it and
You'd be able to sing along with it because it would be a bit lower and likewise for if you have a high voice you
Could put the capo way higher
All right, so we'll show you the chorus now at the original speed and [C#m] [A]
[B] [E] [A]
[F#m] [E] [C#m]
[A] [B]
[E] [A]
[F#m] now we can try playing the chorus together a little bit slower
one two three [E] four
[C#m] [G#m] [A]
