How to Play The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars

Hi guys, what's up in there? It’s Freeandeasyguitar.com. This lesson is going to be song The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars. I'm going to teach you on my acoustic guitar you can play the same way on electric guitar so if you have your electric, just crank up that distortion, or any effects you want and go for it. But the fingering is just still going to be exactly the same. So the guitar is in drop D tuning, I mean this string it’s only low E it’s tune down full step. So not just— [Demonstration] And your six and four are the same both D notes. [Demonstration] Playing together you can’t tell a different, okay. So this is what we an intro and the verse sound like. [Demonstration] Okay, that’s the intro. Its sounds like on the first guitar. The second guitar you just play and just strumming. It’s really you're going to play it once with distortion. [Demonstration] But I'm going to be strumming at this because that way you can imagine when I'm strumming this with distortion or through play on acoustic guitar you can use the strum pattern. So while the first guitar I just playing this, which I'm going to teach you in a minute. [Demonstration] Okay, expand that picking pattern in that chord. The actual other guitar is just strumming. [Demonstration] Okay, so when you're using on that picking you goes like picking the— [Demonstration] Okay, it’s the same formation. [Demonstration] You just slide your fingers up from three on A string and five on the middle two to the five on the A string and seven on these two middle, seven and nine and then two and four, okay. But to start of I'll take your pointer finger and you're not barring, okay? No bar, you just put on the third on the 3rd fret of your A string. Ring and pinky on the two middle strings, your D and G strings on the 5th fret and the picking pattern you're going to play is the same for each of these chords when they're here, here, here and here. Okay? The picking pattern is you're going to play your five and your fourth string and to get together it’s the first time in case you just strumming out to both them. [Demonstration] Okay, so five, four and then you're going to play four again. [Demonstration] And then you're going to play two, four, so it’s five and four together and four, two, four, okay. And each formation right you put four times so you go. [Demonstration] It’s two. [Demonstration] Three. [Demonstration] Four, slide up everything at two frets same picking pattern five and four, four, two, four five and four, four, two, four five and four, four, two, four five and four, four, two, four. If you want to learn how to get this number strum the string are number one, two, three, four, five, six—I'm going to say five to four I'm talking about the A and the E string. Two on time by the B string and then four and I'm talking about the D string, okay. So you're chords here. [Demonstration] Four time with that slide everything at two fret to the five and seven. [Demonstration] Four times there slide up to the 7th fret and to 9th fret on this two middle strings, same pick pattern five and four. Four, two to four, four times and slide this down to your second fret, okay and these two on the middle two string in the 4th fret same picking pattern on five and four string. Four, two, four, do that four times there. Okay? So that’s what you play for the verse throughout the song and that’s what you're going to playing. Yeah, that’s right so throughout the song you're verse is what you hear me playing. Also on the verse you have two guitars. You can also have that one guitar playing. [Demonstration] Which you want to play it for four measures so— [Demonstration] And then you're playing same thing here. [Demonstration] So for each measure way you want— [Demonstration] So it’s the same as— [Demonstration] Okay. And then the last chord you finish on this— [Demonstration] And two more time you do that. The chorus is really easy because when you're playing on electric guitar it’s going to have the distortion you just going to go— [Demonstration] Play the same chorus and you play the verse accept the set of four measure of each one. You just going to play, you're still going to play the same of these instead two measures. [Demonstration] Okay, just like that. I'll take that back play four measure you play. [Demonstration] We’re just play on the same strum pattern and we gave you for the verse as well as if you're going to strum. There's a couple of tab in here for little like ticks and riffs that they played there in the song. I don’t think you even distinguish there, I think so don’t think they're really worth while but that’s basically the whole song. The bridge is a little bit different because it’s going to go this A sounds chord. Okay, so when you're all these chord this—you're ring and your pinky on two middle string, so just slide it down here. Okay, to the 2nd fret and this is just— [Demonstration] That’s the first chord of bridge, the second chord is you slide to that two and four. [Demonstration] The third chord is seven and nine, the fourth chord is seven and nine, the fifth chord is three and five, five and seven is the sixth, seven and nine and seven and nine. The third time through which should be your ninth chord, three and five. [Demonstration] Five and seven. [Demonstration] Seven and nine. [Demonstration] Seven and nine. [Demonstration] And then you're 13th chord from your five. [Demonstration] Seven and nine. [Demonstration] Seven and nine. [Demonstration] Seven and nine. [Demonstration] If you're going to strumming that you will do this, the first line through this. [Demonstration] Accept one. [Demonstration] And then the second one is the same as the third and fourth.
