Okay so here we go it’s going to sound no— I’m going to play the whole song through this in the player parts of it but we’ll talk about the whole thing so here we’ll start from the intro. [Demonstration] The melody is like… [Demonstration] …chords [Demonstration] Okay so that with the exception of the bridge is the entire song, okay. Now let’s talk about the bits and pieces. The bridge is going to go something like this… [Demonstration] Something like that, right? So here we go let’s talk about the chords. I’m looking at my chart right now and you see my videos before you know what I do I write up a chart fort these songs and then just drive it in a real easy format that you can understand and so I need the techniques that we’re using here if you don’t understand them go to Your Guitar Sage.com and that eBook that eBook will help you with all the strumming, teach you about typos and how you use them and you know a key your in and all that good stuff. Teach you how to read charts. The whole enchilada so check out your guitar sage I won’t take anymore time talking about that here but also you can get a hold of this chart in there as well so and it will be a little easier— down here so here we go it all in 4 meaning 4beats so like 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3,4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. Okay, and there’s only a couple of split bars in here where we have 2 chords for measure like 1, 2, 3, 4 that sort of thing. 1, 2, 3, 4 that’s called the split 2 chords you are to measure. Alright let’s break this down into the intro, the verse. No, intro’s in the verse and the end of the song is all the same. Either write this down or keep it in mind so the chord progression G4measure, C4 measure, Dm for measure, C for measure so 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 1, 2, 3, 4 and I was playing it like that. [Demonstration] Okay intro verses all your verses your end of the song G,C, Em, C. Okay true chorus is going to go measured Em, measure C, measure D suspended or D sus, measure D and that’s all your creating courses, I’m looking, I’m looking, I’m verifying yes that’s all your chorus. Chorus is going to go. I’ll tell you what chorus and a tag is this Gm for measure, Em for measure C for measure, D for measure so of course it’s… [Demonstration] And that’s the only difference okay so that G, Em, C, D, twice and then ended with 2 measures here are the 2 measures. The 1st measure is Dm for 2 beats, D with an F# in the base bring your thumb around and grab that guy and the other 2 beats from the measure and then C for whole measure so like… [Demonstration] Now the first turnaround, the turn around is that part of in between the chorus and verse okay it usually happens in the first chorus but in this case it’s two minutes of G so just… [Demonstration] Okay, now construction of the song that has the old turnaround verse, free chorus and chorus again. You’re writing all this down, good. Verse free chorus and chords and again then I turn around or just G, Em, C, D okay and then the Bridge of course, okay. Bridge is Em for two beats, D to the F# for 2 beats and then a C for one measure then G for 2 beats D with an F# for 2 beats and a C for measure. [Demonstration] Repeat that again G two beats, B, F# 2 beats and C for a measure and then 2 measures of half and then back to the chorus and so that is the entire song. Let’s talk about strumming real quick? We’ve got to sum it up here, we’ve got a minute and a half or so but strumming you can do a few different things. 1 you can just go, if you’re new to strumming then I would say you know just do diamonds or strumming on the top of the B for one so like. [Demonstration] And otherwise you can do a strum like… [Demonstration] That was really complicated if you have a problem with that you have strumming video go to my page, your Guitar Sage page and we got video on there I think on the front page you have to check it out. Okay also get the eBook because that will help you at a bunch okay. Let’s talk about the bridge from. We’re doing some staccato chords. Staccato means sharp attacks and you’re going like… [Demonstration] Okay what I’m doing is I’m hitting the chords and then choking it right here and from right there karate chop your strings. It’s not that difficult don’t make it range through because it’s not just go take that part of your hand and pop the strings okay. Now to do it quickly there’s another story and that will take some time. [Demonstration] Okay you want to see, guys that’s it E, C, G, Em, C, G, D, D sus, and then D with an F sharp in the base and then F throw it in there. Guy’s we’re running out of time I see my clock ticking down. If you haven’t already hit subscribe here and keep checking back everyday I’m putting up a new video go buy the eBook right now. Go do it.
