Chords for Your Man - Josh Turner - Guitar Lesson and Tutorial

[F#] _ Your Man is a big hit for Josh Turner and it was written by Chris Dubois, Jace Everett,
and Chris Stapleton.
For all you Stapleton fans out there, you can actually find some
videos of Chris Stapleton on YouTube playing the song.
We're going to do Josh Turner's
version.
We've got a capo on the second fret and we're going to use nice open key of E
chords.
We've just got one strum pattern that's going to get us through basically the
whole song.
On the electric guitar we've got a lot of fun stuff we're going to do.
We're going to mimic the pedal steel part that we hear on the intro and outro.
We've
got some comping we'll do over the verses and choruses.
Then we've got a nice country
picking lead guitar solo over the bridge. _ _ _ _

[A#m] _ _ _ [B] In this tutorial we're going to go over the acoustic guitar part for Your Man.
We've got
a capo on the second fret and we're going to be using key of E chords.
This song has
a unique layout, a road map.
It's not your typical verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo,
chorus, end.
In this one it's kind of hard to know what to even call the chorus or the
verse but for our purposes the intro and the outro basically are going to follow that chorus
pattern and then the form will be chorus, verse, chorus, then we'll have a solo, then
a verse, and another chorus, and then the outro again.
So what we mean by the chorus,
what we're calling the chorus is the first thing that Josh Turner starts singing and
then the verses will be the minor section.
So let's get our fingers on what we're going
to need to play these choruses which is the same as the intro.
_ I'm going to play an A
major like this.
_ If you want to play a barre chord you can but we're going to be doing
this strum pattern and I like letting that high E string ring open so we've got open
A [F#] string then second fret above the capo [B] on D, second fret, second fret, open.
_ This capo
is kind of a thick capo so it can be kind of tough sometimes to get these fingers down.
Some people play this A like this so whatever's comfortable for you is fine or if those aren't
working you know an A barre chord works too you can still go _ _ _ just fine.
So anyway you
want to play an [F#] A.
Then we have a standard E chord which is open low E, second fret,
second fret, first fret, open, open.
_ Then we're going to [C#] have these B7's in the choruses.
Second [F] fret of A, first [B] fret, second fret [F#] of G, open B, open.
It's going to look like
this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Alright let's do it nice and slow here and then we'll kind of dissect how we're getting
that feel.
So 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. _ _ _
_ _ Down, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up,
down, up, down, up, down, _ up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, [B] up, down, up, down, up, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] down, up, down.
For this song we're going to break the lead tutorial up into two different
parts.
The first one right here we're going to learn the pedal, steel, intro and outro
and then we'll learn the electric guitar comping and the electric guitar bridge solo in the
next tutorial.
So I'll demonstrate it nice and slow then we'll go through it note by
note then at full speed with the metronome.

as always for our lead work.
For tone I've got this one on this guitar on my neck pickup
here.
_ Just got a little bit of overdrive, some reverb, some delay, and some compression.
And it will sound like this.
One, two, three, four, [F#] one.
[C#] _ [D#m] _ [A#m] _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Alright, we've mimicked the pedal steel intro and outro in a separate tutorial.
So now let's
learn the lead comping over the verses and choruses and the lead bridge solo, which we'll
start with.
And for this electric guitar work, I am going to switch over to my bridge pickup
and get a little bit more treble-y.
So I'll demonstrate this bridge solo, we'll talk through
it note by note, and then we'll move on to some of the comping parts and at the very
end we'll play through everything with the metronome.
This is all tabbed out at 6stringcountry.com.
So here's how the bridge solo looks.
One, two, three, four, [C#] one, _ [D#m] _ [G#] _ _
[F#] _ _ [B] four, one, [F#] two. _ _
[A#] _ _ [C#] _ One, [F#] two, three, four, solo.
[C#] _ [D#m] _ [G#] _ [D#] _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#] _ [A#] _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] Ain't nobody ever loved [F#m] nobody [F#] the way that I love you.
_ [G#m] The way that I love
