_ _ [Bb] Hey, what's up you guys Marty Schwartz [Bbm] here from [Gb] GuitarJams.com
Hope everything's [E] going great out there
I will [Bb] admit I'd never had heard this song until I saw [E] tons and tons of
[Bb] Requests for the tune [Gb] and it's a great beginner song
It's [Bb] pretty much the same three beginner chords [D] over and over [E] so if you like this song [C] and you're trying to learn guitar
[D] It's a perfect song to [B] try and get you know [Bb] get going
Also one of the [E] main things for a beginner [Bb] is learning how to strum and it can be [Gb] a real challenge
So [Bb] I've got a DVD quality [Bm] strum
Lesson series that you can get for free right in the link [B] down there below this box
And I think [Bb] it'll really help you guys especially those beginners
Anyway enough of me going like that.
Let's zoom in and I'll break this progression down for you.
Here we go
All right, we've got three chords repeating over and over with the real [Bbm] basic rhythm that I'm gonna teach you
[D] One thing to note [E] is the capo this little clip on it's like a clothes hanger or [A] something
[B] You know it clips onto your guitar.
We got to put it [Gb] on the first [C] fret
Just so it matches [Bb] up with the recording if you don't have a [D] capo
You can play this in the [Bb] open position, [B] and it's just not going to match up [Bb] to the recording
But it's gonna [B] sound like the song [Bbm] okay, so we want a minor
_ _ Which is first fret on the B string right there _ middle [D] finger on the [Bb] second fret of the D
[Bbm] second [Bb] fret on the G [Bbm] and
the open a in there
You can get the open [B] high E in there, [Bb] so we got that chord.
It's a minor _
_ _ _ _ Next chord is [Gb] G, and I'm gonna target my middle finger
To the [Bb] third fret of that low E.
[B] That's how I'm gonna plug the [Bb] chord in an index finger on the second [Ab] fret of the A
_ _ [C]
Ring finger on [Ab] the third of the high E when I say third I mean third
[B] From the capo [Bm] so the capo is zero one [Ab] two three _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
G chord [C] next chord is C, and we're [B] gonna target our ring finger on the third of [Db] the a
_ [E] [Db] Second of the D
_ First [Bb] of the B, and [Db] that's a C chord
_ _ _ _ [D] So then we put it [Bbm] together one two three [Ab] four one two three [Db] four
One two three four
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] A minor [Ab] G _ [Db] C, so you want to [E] be able to switch those and then eventually
[Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
It's [B] not down down up listen to the rhythm [Bb] of it to
Down
_ _ _ _ _ _ Take [C] it nice and slow when you're practicing [Bb] that so if you can't put that all together
Work on switching those chords like even while you're watching [Bbm] TV or something or the internet
_ _ [Db] _ Then you could [F] also
_ See if you can get [Db] that
_ _ [F] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
That'll get you [B] going however
_ There's a bridge meaning
There's like one other section that it goes to just to kind of [Bb] break up the [A] repetitiveness
And [Bb] it feels like a little refreshing little thing [B] that happens
And then it comes right back, and [Ab] you're familiar with that part again
[Bm] And so this little section is called the bridge [Bb] and that's part of song structure the bridge of the song
[E] So check it out.
It's it's pretty much the same, but it's [Bb] twice as long on the a minor _ _ _
_ so
[B] [Bb] Just you just play that twice as long [D] twice as long on the [Ab] G chord
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[E] Okay, then [B] just a [Db] C _ _ _
[Gb] to F and _ the F could be three two one
Personally I like the third [Bb] with the ring finger on the a [Dbm] string there
_ pinky on the [Gb] third of the D
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ second [B] fret on the G string with [Gb] the middle finger
_ [Bb] Index goes [Gb] to the first of the B.
I like that for F, but [Bbm] so when you put it all together
_ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Ab] Stay [Db] with me _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Ab] Won't [Db] back down _ _
[Bbm] _ _ [Db] Stay with me [Bb] no
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ All right there was I [Bb] hope you got something from it remember if you're struggling with your [D] strumming
I [Gb] got a link down there below this [Bb] box for a [E] free strummer series
Thanks for [Bb] hanging out, and hope to see in another video real soon.
Take care _ _ _ _
