How to Play I Believe by Diamond Rio

This next one is from—this song is requested by Luke from Bedford Indiana, he send me a message recently. There was a car accident and actually pretty recently took the lives of his two friends and two more of his friends are in the hospital are recovering from that. So the two--they are still on the hospital, they are still trying to make it through I just got proven Destiny Chastain. So we’re cooperating for and hopefully you’re watching this video, you guys can get time and your prayers to—so it’s just going to just a prove in Destiny Chastain but here’s is the song that I’m going to teach you to you look like you want it and then that you want me to kind of sing it so you can follow along with it and I will give you one big shot. But really the song is you have your capo on the 1st fret in standard tuning. The Intro—if you listen to the song, it’s actually played on piano and since it is going to piano its kind of like the chords are— [Demonstration] To the next chord all right. So the way I want you to do is surround you’re a chord, and you’re going to go— [Demonstration] Down, down, down, down, down, up—and then the last down you switch to your E— [Demonstration] So it kind of sounds a little bit like in the down—alright just as far as the rhythm. So start on your A, the second chord you’re going to use your E and the next chord is F#M then you bar cross all six string, 2nd fret above Capo 2nd fret. And then your ring it making you gone in 4th fret above the capo on the A and D strings and that’s your third chord— [Demonstration] And your forth chord is your D. So the Intro is kind of like— [Demonstration] So like I said, the strum is kind of down, down, down, down, down, up switch to you next chord, down, down, down, down, down, up, and switch to the next chord— [Demonstration] Alright, now that is the chords that they used through the first verse. The only that’s different is for the actual verse, it goes A, E, and I speed up the strum pattern just to get quicker, F#M, D and it goes of the second time through the first verse [Demonstration] And then second time through which is D, down, down, down, down, up, E, down, down, down, down, up. For the D slot, the D and E at the end of the first verse and the end of the second are half steps or half majors. So basically, it’s just A to E to F#M to D through the verses. Then there’s one is A—it’s in the second verse— [Demonstration] Alright that is A to E to D to E to A. Then, the one part—just looking this after the thumb, I have had some troubles here which part of the course, which part is the verse. The first two paragraphs seem to be the verse and then the—actually I’m looking at it there’s three verses just on a row and then the course. I don’t know what this part is—forever you're a part of me, forever in the heart of me and I’ll hold you even longer if I can. The people who I don’t see the most say that I believe in ghosts, yes that makes me crazy that I am because I believe. [Demonstration] That chord progression is just G, and I’ll just use the same strum pattern down, down, down, down, down, up. Okay, so got some G to the D to an A to an E, the first time through then and the second one is G, D, E, third time through is G, D, A, D; fourth line G, D, E, A, D, F#M, D; that last A, E, F#M, D that is for stronger chords when they are playing solo. This song really—I mean all I can do for this one is kind of say the chords and let the beginning strum pattern I told you Luke. So I’m going to try to sign along with this one. So just bear with me and I’ve heard the song One of a kind before this so some of the notes and stuff I’m not really familiar with going to all this few shots so play a capo 1st fret, stand tuning. So—I’m going to look to the lyrics too— [Demonstration] So alright Luke, sorry about your friends man, but I hope the two there in the hospital get better. We’ll keep praying for them and I’m sure lots of people they are—other people who see the video well. And stay strong man, good luck to the song. And if anyone needs ant help, send your message or a comment or something like that. So take care.
