Hey, what’s up everybody? It’s Aaron Gallagher from Freeeandeasy.com. I know a lesson that I’ll teach it to you real quick. I want a song I just did the cover of about a week ago. A did a cover on the song called “In This River” by Black Label Society. And I’ll go up you for anyone who wants to learn to play it. It’s a good song and I didn’t have two difficult vocal, so if you’re a beginner we’re singing plain it’s a good song to try.
So the thing you want to start of which is your guitar and half step down tuning, alright. E, A, D, G, B ,E, it’s standard tuning, you go down half step. An easy way to do that is if you don’t know how to tune down, but you know how to tune standard, put your capo on the first fret then tune it so it’s standard, with the capo on the first fret then when you take your capo off, it will drop down a half step, and it will be in the E flat tune.
So there’s five chords alright. The first four you played for the verse is this. It’s an E minor to a C, okay an E minor to a C is really easy if you leave that E minor pointing finger at the second fret of your A. Middle finger is on the second fret of your D string, alright. When you go to move for that C chord if you leave that middle finger there, it’s actually right where it needs to be in the C chord and the E minor same place. So you pick your point finger out, put your ring finger down at the third fret, you raise here in your pointer finger, your index near comes down on the first fret of your B string, your number two second string up from one, that your C chord, the second one.
Your third chord is a G chord okay. I like to play a four finger G just trust me on this when you want to play a four finger G and not three finger G. And the reason for that is you play your four finger G as your third chord and your fourth chord is actually a D chord but not this D it’s actually a virgin where you’re basically making a C9, but you slide everything up two steps, so two head steps which is two frets. So it goes if you slide it up two head steps it goes from C, to a C# to a D, so that’s the D chord you want to play.
So remember C9 which is just middle finger on A, pointer finger on the D second fret. Your three string, G string is open. Your B and E are both on your ring and pinky on the third fret, and you slide that up to the fifth fret here middle, ring, and pinky and your index finger pointer finger actually is on the fourth fret of that E string. So your first quarter of your E minor says [Demonstration] Okay, so strum pattern on E minor is [Demonstration].
And on the last down you switch to C chord, so I'm going to real slow with my hands are watch at right it down. Practice long with it. I want you get the C, but just down, up, down, up and you switch to the G, so E minor to the G. It says the verse E minor to C to G to the D, F here and it sounds like this [Demonstration].
So, you go through it three times, and you go to the chorus. Okay, the chorus is very simple it’s a G chord, C9, switch to C9, G, A minor, C, C, and then you go back to start, the E minor.
Okay, so the chorus is G, so that’s two times. G, switch to C, second time do the same strum pattern [Demonstration], to C, G to C, G to C, and the third time is G, same strum pattern that we used a minute ago to an A minor, to a C, four times the chords. [Demonstration]. Start all over the E minor to C to G to this D up here.
That’s the whole song goes, good luck with there have some fun, and I'm actually going to be pretty busy for next two weeks. So you won’t probably see any videos for two weeks, but once I get back from here. I have lot free time and I will be working hard and making lots of new lessons. So give me two weeks. Keep the messages and comments to like a memo if you can. So I probably have like thousands to check when I get back. And this could take a long time, so I want to hear from you guys but if you wait two weeks will be awesome.
