How to Play Twenty-One by Corey Smith - Part 3

All right, you are also for the bridge. The bridge is probably second most difficult part of the song. It’s not really difficult, just some getting used to, but for the bridge, there are a couple of chords. The first hand string that you can strum sounds like this— [Demonstration] Like that. And then you play this chord— [Demonstration] Okay, then there’s some picking. Now, to be honest with you, up until this point, I never learned the bridge. So what I’ll give you in the tab, you can experiment around yourself, see what you like. I’m going to play it through slow. And you guys can figure out what you like. The first thing, the first chord to know is just for one down strum. [Demonstration] Okay, it’s going to be like that. now, in the first down strum, you are going to have your bar , cross all six string in the second fret, then your rang in pinky are going to be on the fourth fret of your Andy, which is your five and four strings. You’re going to play this once, and then what I like you to do is just playing the top three strings. Don’t worry about making this 0 to two. Don’t worry, perfect, just from your bar here. I'm just sliding these two strings and bar the bottom four strings. And then play it like that. [Demonstration] Like that, so the first chord here, second chord bar across the bottom four. Play those, then come up here to the third chord bar across, press all six strings on the third fret, and you're going to play three in these two fingers, where you’ll take on the fifth fret, so that’s the third chord you play. And then slide back down to the chord you play for the very first time from the fourth chord, so it’s like this. [Demonstration] Sounds kind of weird when you play it by yourself but actually it doesn’t match up with the song so— [Demonstration] All right, after you place those four chords, he does something where he picks. He make goes into this D. And then you play the D like you did in the verse and you can move this little finger here to the second fret of you’re A string, and you’re going to play. [Demonstration] Se we really should have practices but. So really it’s kind of the rhythm you play, and the verse, and that’s nice. It’s a kind of riff you play in the verse. This is the bar of that. [Demonstration] And then, you go back to your D. If you don’t want to play it this way over, you can play your ring. I'm sorry, you can put your middle finger right here on the second fret it that G string. [Demonstration] You’ll get used to it. I'm not having practice very much that’s why you can hear a little bit of muting going on. So after you play that, you're still on that D, you go— [Demonstration] You can also play a three pull two on the one, you see you can go— [Demonstration] These are the three options you get to pick. [Demonstration] That’s the first option, second one. [Demonstration] And the other one is— [Demonstration] Okay, up to you. Then he basically does the same thing, the same chords and everything again. But he does picking instead. He goes the same—the two bars, he goes—you see— [Demonstration] What I would if you're a beginner, if you don’t like the way it sounds, just play the same—just play the second time through the same way as the first time through. All right, here we go. [Demonstration] Just play it the same as the first time through. And then the only thing at the end there is you have an open 5 string and then second fret on the A, on the D, the G, play the B, the second fret hammer on third and play the AB string second fret open so— [Demonstration] Then strum an A chord. [Demonstration] That’s the bridge. The chorus and everything repeats the same. The final chords is the same as before except there at the end, what you’re going to do instead of—he says. The second time through on the following chorus, now look at all those college girls, that’s just the same part we learned from earlier, the— [Demonstration] And then the D, I'm sorry. [Demonstration] So it’s the first time through in the final chords, the other similarity of the chorus. And then I just check them out and say darn, that’s not what he really says but that’s what I'm going to say. So he says, I just check him out, that’s this— [Demonstration] You know, hopefully I have explained this song good enough for you guys. It’s a very difficult song to play for a beginner, but it’s says intermediate advanced, but work hard at it and it’s got a really good sound. And what I'm going to do now is I want to make an instructional cover over so you can hear the lyrics along with the guitar playing, but I haven’t played the song enough, haven’t practiced it enough to play t while I'm singing. I'm going to play the most parts but not the whole thing. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to have myself playing it and I must going to do also after that, I'm going to listen to my guitar playing and sing over it. So we’re going to put the two together in Windows Movie Maker and I’ll put it out so you have an instructional cover watching and play it, hearing the notes along with the lyrics, so, all right guys, take care!
