Now we’re going to add a passing chord here, this is a really useful chord and it’s a diminish chord that’s use to get back from the C to the G. Now what happens is from the C leave your middle finger on the second fret of the four strings, bring you index finger from the second string over to the first fret of the fifth string and your ring finger from the fifth string over to the second fret of the second. Get all those like that as a fairly change and at the same time will put down our little finger on the high string which makes it a little bit more a something you need to practice.
The crucial thing is not to move the middle finger because if that comes up your sort of like a ship without an anchor. Now when we get back to G if we wanted from that shape you’ve always got the option form this shape of playing our G that way which is sort of like this baby G we talked about, on the other hand some people would just always prefer to go back to this one. So from this either of those is acceptable. Now when we get to the part where we go from the D7 back to the G, let’s also add one of the little thing in here, we have a C note on the first fret of the second sting at the end of the bar and what we want to do is play that note and pull it off so you’re playing the open second string or it’s the pull off but the same time as the pull off your ring finger at your left hand is going to go over to the third fret of the bass string and you pick that with your right thumb.
Now the real coordination here is actually between two hands so if we can actually get the camera out and watch what happens now with that finger and with that thumb they go together, try that again. And that’s an interesting technique because if you’ve never done it, it feels very strange but it’s really no harder for beginners to learn than it is for advanced people who haven’t done it but it gives a nice flow. Okay now right away we got one more thing to look at and this is not hard. When we’re playing in G one of the only really smart things I think I’ve figure out about fingers on the guitars that since we always want this two fingers to be committed to those bass strings there then the other notes that we’re going to play you can play all your melody notes with this two fingers. And what that means specifically is especially the second fret of the fourth or third string you can reach behind there with your index finger and his glad to do something while this guys are holding down the bass notes.
All right by the same token when we’re going in to the second part, see I’m reaching behind their with my index finger on the left hand to get that note on the second fret of the high string, okay then we come on C or we can add that passing chord. In this case is that chord their but our little finger is now down and instead of the third frets on the second fret of the high string, it’s actually a little easier. Then E7 this kind of an odd chord but it’s easy to play it be a form of an A minor and that’s just a little walk up in G now look at that little wiggle there that’s the technical term for what I’m doing it’s called a wiggle that’s what Segovia called it I believe. I could be wrong about that so what happens their in this case your just going to hit the open second string your on a D7 so your middle finger will already be down on the second fret of the third string and your thumbs there on the second fret of the bass string, so you’ll hit the open second string now along with the sixth string and then you do a hammer on pull off quickly with your index finger.
Well think about now we’re ready to go ahead and spilt the screen and take a very slow look at Red Wing and what I’ll try to do is play it very straight the first time and then put some of that kind of in between the beat phrasing in that I was talking about, will go ahead and take a look at Red Wing.
