Have you Ever Seen the Rain Guitar Lesson Part 1

[Demonstration] Alright, guys that fun, easy Creedance Clearwater revival tune “Have You Ever Seen the Rain”. We’re going to take short look at this; more of campfire looks in this case because it’s really just a strumming song, just one thing I want to talk about as far as the strumming goes. Well, two or three things. What we’re going to be doing is playing a lot of C chords or few with G in the bass because that’s just how we get it in this case, at least in the intro. And that C with G in the bass then is played with four fingers. The 1st and 2nd fingers where they normally go for a C chord, but your 3rd finger reaches down to play the G on the 6th string the 3rd fret. Then your 4th finger plays the C. Now a lot of people would probably play this chord before and maybe thought of it as a full C or something like that, it’s not. It’s an inversion of C and inversions of chords just mean you have something other than the root in the bass. So this is C with G in the bass—a C and a slash of the G, that’s what that notation always mean, C with G in the bass. [Demonstration] When I sing through this or when I play through it, I'm really just going to use it in the intro because that’s where it’s most effective and stuff. The strumming though—we’ll get back to the very first thing, it happens in the strumming just a minute. But what we’re going to do in our strumming pattern here is I'm playing the C with G in the bass now just for the heck of it. We’re going to be going down-up on beat one, and then on beat two we want to kill all the strings. Now this technique is a little different depending on chord you’re playing. So if I’ve got this C chord on and I want to kill the strings, I’ll really just relax my hand and lay them off flat on the strings for that one stroke. But the tips of my fingers are still in contact with the—whether about to go back to. So let’s go into chorus first now. The chorus also has F which is even easier to do and then we go to G. Now we hear the bass player plays a descending bass part when it or we’re going to work that into our strumming here. So when we get to the C chord—the first C in the chorus, which is the 3rd measure, it really changed our strumming pattern where we hit the bass note and then strum down-up. So we’re hitting C in the bass, and that B in parenthesis is telling you we want a B in the bass here, but we’re not changing the whole chord.
