Chords for Whitesnake - Is This Love - Guitar Lesson With Danny Gill Licklibrary

_ _ _ Now we're going to take a look at Is This Love.
John Sykes playing the guitar.
The intro goes like this.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
So we're going to break this down into four parts.
The first part we're going to learn sounds like this.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[A] So we're going to start off with a hammer-on from the open A
string to the second fret of the A string,
and then strike the open low E string.
[E] _ _ _ _
Now some harmonics on the seventh fret, D string, B string, G string.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Now we're going to have a chord phrase that keeps repeating
throughout the song that sounds like this.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So second fret A, fourth fret D, open G [B] string.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ Moving the [C] first finger up now to the third fret,
leave the fourth finger at the fourth fret on the D string,
and put the middle finger on the third fret of the B string.
Now we're going to strike the third fret A, fourth fret D,
[A#] _
jump up to the B string, and we're going [C] to pick backwards now
from the third fret [Dm] of the B, open G, [G] fourth fret [G] D.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So here's [E] the phrase once again. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] The next line also starts off with some harmonics.
This time we're going to start on the fifth fret of the G string. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ Well, I've just [Bm] finished recording a Learn to Play Whitesnake [G] DVD featuring
five great Whitesnake tracks.
[Em]
Whitesnake, of course, has a [Bm] rich history of great [A] guitar players.
So it was nice being able to go [G] back and learn not only some [Em] John Sykes stuff,
but [B] some Bernie Marsden stuff, [G] even some Steve Vai stuff.
[Em] I think my favorite [D] track, my favorite [Am] Whitesnake guitar player
would have to be [E] John Sykes.
[Em] So for me, the most rewarding, [B] the most challenging track
was to go back and learn Still of the Night.
Because when that album came out in [E] 1987,
I guess my chops were not developed enough
to be [Am] able to execute all those [B] lines.
But 20 years later, I guess I put in a few more hours
and [F#] was able to pull that [A] off.
So I really enjoyed learning that, and it's [C] a good one to teach as well.
[D] So I think people can get a lot out of that song.
Whether [A] you're a beginner, intermediate, advanced [D] player,
there's a lot to learn, not only Still of the Night, but all of these tracks.
Well, [C] because this DVD [D] features the styles of three different guitar
players, there's a lot of different techniques on [B] the DVD.
[Am] There's two-handed stuff.
There's some bluesy playing.
There's some [Gm] pinched harmonics.
Going back to a song like Fool for Your Loving,
we did the original version of that featuring [Am] Bernie Marsden on guitar,
a [C] very blues-based [Gm] player.
John Sykes, of course, is a lot more aggressive, big, wide, [A#] vibrato,
great, [G] heavy, distorted guitar sound.
[B] Steve Vai, known for the tremolo bar and [Am] all of his quirky Steve Vai trademark licks.
So there's a real wide [E] variety of licks and things
to
