Okay, the bridge section is up next. Now, this is a ten bar section and features our first official rule violation. Basically, this section involves playing octaves, either an F or a G. if you look at the finger board chart that came with the note find the PDF, and even doing your note finder exercise from less than two, you should know that F can be played here at the first fret of the E string, or the octave above it is found at the third fret of the D string. Now, because of the stretch involved when you play back and forth from this two notes, it is quite common to see and I do recommend it for playing octave is fingering those notes with the first and the forefinger. So, what we are doing is we are going outside of our one finger per fret rule. Now, I am going to play the ten bar pattern and then I will talk through it.
Okay, the first two bars of the ten bar bridge are an F and you can make them up by playing a full note pattern four times. That four note patterns starts with two eight notes on the F of the D string third fret and then one eight note at the F of the E string, first fret and then back to the high F of the third note, third fret of the D string. So you get a full note pattern which you play full time, looks like this.
Okay, the next eight bars are made up of four two bar patterns, two in G and in F and the patterns are identical; they just slide down from G to F and back up to G and then back down to F. So the first one is in G, you start of with two notes playing G at the third fret of the string. One note on the octave which is the fifth fret of the D string and back to the low G on the E string of the third fret, so that four note pattern sounds like this. Then you repeat that, another couple of times and then the last four notes of that pattern are just the alternations of the low to the high G. okay, then that whole pattern moves down to F and then the whole pattern moves up to G and then the whole pattern steps down to F again, and that is the bridge. The next section I want to look at is the last verse and it has a little turn around tacked on to the end of it before you get to the actual. I will play it first and then I will talk through it.
It is a normal eight bar verse which finishes on F sharp and the only difference is the very last part of the eight bar section, instead of playing it here which is the fourth fret of D string, you drop down and play the F sharp here, just the second fret of the E string, so you play that eight times at the end of that eight bar section. That is the last part of that section then you go up to D just the fifth fret of the A string, play that for a bar, so play it eight times. Then you go up to E which is the second fret of the D string, you play that or a bar, so play it eight times. Then you play F sharp for two bars at the full fret of the D string. Then you play F sharp for a bar but this time, you play the octave below which is the second fret of the E string. And finally, you play another bar of F sharp but you go back to the octave which is the four fret of the D string. And then that sets up the out throw. The out throw section is the last part of the tune, this is a full bar section that just repeats as the tune fades. I will play it first and then I will talk you to though it.
It is very simple; first two bars are all fret a, fifth fret of the E string. So, if it is two bars, you play that 16 times. And then from there, we go down to F sharp which is the second fret of the E string, that is for one bar, so play it eight times. And then you play up to D which is the fifth fret of the A string, that is also for a bar, play it eight times, and then you just repeat those four bars over and over again as the song fades and that is the out throw.
