Hey everybody! I’m Dan Sindel. Welcome to EZGTR’s online video guitar lesson. Today is lesson 5 and we got a great lesson for you. We’re going to be looking at bars 23 to bars 27. We’re going to cover the four measures of section F, and the first measure is section G. And if you’ve not yet downloaded the Ebook, please go to www.ezgtr.com and sign up for the newsletter and we’ll send you a link.
And today is a very special day; we’d like to give a warm welcome to Petterson Tutors for coming on board and joining our videos. He provided us with the StroboRack Tutor. And not only is the StroboRack the most accurate in the music industry, but it’s also the most configurable. So let’s get started with today’s lesson and let’s start by tuning up. I’ll give you an A to the 440.
Section F, bar 23. But as a quick review from our last lesson, we were working on the main melody which some people may call the chorus. What we’re discussing was out of this phrase.
[Demonstration]
That last note of the phrase of bar 22 which was from section E carries on to what is now our first measure of section F, the D note. So it is part of the last melodic phrase. But if we just now look at bar 23, the first note, we got the D note. We got a series of 8th notes and 8th rests. So we are playing on the D rest, C# rest, E rest, D.
Bar 24 will now play the lower octave of the D.
[Demonstration]
I’ll go ahead and play bar 23 and bar 24 together.
[Demonstration]
Bar 25 will be the mirror image of what we just played. We’ll first play the rest and the note.
[Demonstration]
Bar 26.
[Demonstration]
Then we have our 8th rest. Then we have a little bit of a triplet rest.
[Demonstration]
I’ll go ahead and play bar 25 and bar 26 where you rest.
[Demonstration]
I’ll now play bars 23 to bar 26 for you. I’ll play it slowly without counting. I’ll use the backing track. And then we’ll do it as a close up.
[Demonstration]
Section G is probably one of the hardest runs in the entire song. So let’s go ahead and look at bar 27 and we’re going to work through this before the lesson ends today.
As you noticed, we’ve got a run of 16th notes, a couple hammer ons and some pull offs. So our first note is F#. We’re going to come down to its lower octave. We’re going to play the F#, we’re going to hammer onto the G and pull off to the F# and slide down a whole step and play the E note.
[Demonstration]
So that first system sounds like this.
[Demonstration]
Now, we’re going to come up to our higher octave of E, F#, E. So those two systems will sound like this.
[Demonstration]
Now the third system, we go now to the D note. F#, D, and then we’re going to play a B and pull off to the A. Remember to play the lower octave of the A and we’re going to pull off to a G and hammer back on to the A. So the entire phrase would sound like this.
[Demonstration]
And that concludes our lesson for today. Thanks for hanging in there and we’ll see you next time.
