_ _ _ [C] _ Rock salt and nails by [G] Tyler Childers is going to be played in standard tuning and for this song you'll need to know a G chord
_ [C] a C chord a variant of a C [Em] chord an
E minor chord [F] and then an [G] F chord the intro _ [C] is
_ [G] _ _
going to be alternating between a [C] G major _ and
a C over G [G] chord the opening chord it sounds like Tyler leads into by [D] a
little pickup note
[F#] moving from the 6th string 2nd fret to the [G] 6th string 3rd fret
the G chord so the way the G chord is being made is ring finger on the 6th string 3rd fret
pinky finger on the 1st string 3rd fret and then your 2nd finger will ultimately rest
[B] inside of the G on the 5th string 2nd fret [C] and then the [F#] little lead-in note you would be doing with your 2nd finger on the
6th string 2nd fret and then ring finger to [G] the 6th string 3rd fret
_ So that's your G chord _
_ _ But immediately after leaving that G chord you're going to come down [C] into
the C over G chord so for this your
ring and pinky finger are going to remain [G] planted where they are throughout the vast majority of the verses [C] here and
Your operational C throughout most of the verse is [G] going to be just moving your [Em] 2nd finger to the [E] 4th string
2nd fret [G] you'll keep an open 3rd string and your 1st [C] finger will go to the 2nd string 1st fret
with your ring finger blocking out the 5th string, but then
Everything else you're able to strum across the strings.
[G] So you're going from a G chord
_ _ _ _ [C] Into that C over [G] G chord [C] by just [G] hammering on your 1st and 2nd [C] fingers into that
C position or really it's the shape of an A minor 7 [G] chord and it repeats
Let _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ me talk a little bit about this rhythm.
So
_ _ Whenever you're [A#] the rhythm is just a very lazy
_ Very lazy strum like this
So I'm going down up down up down
_ Down is basically what I'm doing _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Or [C] down up down up down that's what it is down down [A#] down down [Fm] down down
[G] Down down down
_ Inside _ _ _ _ of the G now whenever you move to the C
It [C] will then get down on the [G] C and then pull off to the open G before actually then striking the G
Listen to that very carefully and slowly
Hear _ [Em] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ that pull [C] off
[G] So _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ that pull off is kind of key to the sound of this song
_ Sometimes Tyler does this little lick inside of the G chord _ _ _
_ or _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So out of the G chord
You're just going to use your 2nd finger to hammer on down on the 4th string 2nd fret
[Em] _
_ _ _ [G] pick that up and then so you're exposing the open 4th string [Em] and then you want to hit the [A] open [B] 5th string and a
hammer on with your 2nd finger to the 5th string 2nd fret _ and
then
Pick up and hammer on and [G] pull off into the G very slowly
[Em] And [G] _ _ [A] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ then that's the verse that just continues for the vast majority song using C's
Whenever it goes to the neck the next chord to know is an E minor it walks down to the E minor
By moving from your ring finger on the 6th string 3rd fret [F#] to your 2nd finger on the 6th string 2nd fret
[G] _ And [Em] then into the E minor the way [G] that's going to sound is like coming out of the [C] [G] verse _
walk
to [Em] the E minor _ _
And whenever you get to the E minor
It's just a very standard E minor you've got your 2nd [B] finger on the 5th string 2nd fret ring [E] finger on the 4th [Em] string 2nd fret
Then you're strumming across all the strings in the E minor you can hear him do a [A] hammer on
[B] _ [E] _ By lifting up the 2nd finger from the 5th [A] string and then [B] hammering it back down onto the 5th [E] string 2nd fret
[Em] And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ then [C] it goes into a C chord
_ _ _ So the C chord is going to be a standard C chord for this [D#] now out of the E minor [C] ring finger on the 5th string
3rd fret 2nd finger on the 4th string
2nd fret [G] open 3rd string
1st finger on [C] the 2nd string 1st fret open 1st string strum from the 5th string down
_ Now in this F towards the end of it.
[D] He'll put his pinky [C] finger down on the 4th string 3rd fret
[F] _ [E] _ _
[C] He's [F] hammering down on the [C] 4th string 3rd fret
[F] _ Inside of [Em] the C.
So listen to how that sounds real quick coming out of the E minor
_ _ You're [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] back in the G
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] the E minor
Hammer on [C] the C hammer on the F [G] come back to the D
_ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ Walk down to the [E] E minor [Em] hammer on in the E minor [C] the C chord hammer on the hammer on the pinky
_ [G] _ _ Anyway, [F] so pretty simple up to that point
The last chord to know is going to be an F major chord now
Tyler plays this as [N] a bar chord barring across the first fret and then putting ring finger [Cm] on
the fifth string third fret pinky [F] finger on the fourth string third fret and
second finger on the third string second fret
That's the way that Tyler plays that F chord like every fourth time through
[E] The verse I [F] think I tend to play it like this
So you can play the bar chord the way that Tyler plays it or I'm leaving my second ring and pinky where I just told
You to put it
But then I put my first finger on the second string first fret and I reach around and grab my thumb on the sixth string
First fret and I play my F that way
_ And that's the last part of [G] the song.
So you've got [C] G's and _ [G] C's
[C] _ [F#] Then it [B] walks down to [Em] E minor
_ [C] to a C chord [G] to a G chord
_ _ _ _ Once [Em] down again to E minor to [C] a C back to [G] the G chord
[C]
[G] Then _ the last time through [F] it goes F to [C] the C
_ _ [G] Those _ _
_ _ _ [F] are the and those are the chords and movements to rock salt nails by Tyler Childers
Hopefully this gives you an idea of how to
