How to Play With Me by Sum 41

Hey guys what’s up! It’s Aaron again. All right, this next song I want to teach you is by Sum41 and it’s called “With me.” The tab I’m going to give you, now bear with me through this lesson because I just pulled the tab and I haven’t practiced this, but it then sound it gets too difficult, so I want to show effort now. All right, so there’s three guitar chords, three different guitars in this tab and it’s a pretty good tab I found notes on the guitar. So, let’s get into it. The guitar one, standard tuning like I said what I want you to start out with is kind of play just the intro for you, really quick to see if you guys not recognize if you want to learn, but it sound something like this. I’m going to play it slow because I’m practicing it. [Demonstration] Okay, so there it is, that was slow and kind of crappy, but I want to at least try and it to teach you. All right, so I want you to take your pointer finger on the D string, it’s the third down to top, put it on the second fret. Then take your ring finger or your pinky which everyone use and your going to put it on the string below that which is your G string on the 4th fret. And there’s four parts to this kind of intro and I’ll just take it one a time, but you get your pointer finger here at 2nd fret on your D string and your pinky finger, but I’m going to use one in G string 4th fret. So, the first five notes you play the D string twice, then you play the G string below it then you play the D string again and you play the high E. Now, it sounds like this where it’s go [demonstration] kind of quicker pinky. One thing you want to try and do if you can is, you want to do down like start on the D string 204 two pick there, and the again to this G, then after the G string just back up on the D string, so you want to use an up pick. Basically, the way you can kind of tell is if you’re going down for next 216 and you’re going down for the next notes up, you’re going to pick up. So, you’re picking the D string twice, the G string once, D string again, Okay, the next thing I’m going to do is you’re going to take that pointer finger and keep it on the 2nd fret which you’re going to move up to the A string,. So, instead of a B on the D string, it’s going to be on the A string, pinky stays on the same place and you’re going to do basically the same picking pattern except at the end, you’re going to play the g string again. So, now that your pointer finger is on the A string you’re going to play— [Demonstration] Okay, so your 2nd fret there on the A string, you’re going to play it twice, skip down to the G string, put your pinky on the fourth back up to the A string, 2nd fret, high E, G string, 4th fret. [Demonstration] So that’s the first two put together. Then that pinky is still there on the G string, 4th fret. Now, you have your finger here on the 2nd fret, what I want t you to do is I want you to pick your pointer finger up and just move your ring finger down here. So, your ring finger is now in the 4th fret of your A string and you’re going to play on the A string 4-4 and G string again, A string and high E. Okay that’s pretty slow as we are playing towards basically the same picking pattern as the first part, the very first part we talked except your pointer finger is going to be on the 2nd fret D, your ring finger is on the 4th fret. So, from beginning it’s kind of like this. [Demonstration] And then for the very last part, this is the only part I though might be kind of tricky for a beginner and you might get to find your own when I play this, but I just take my fingers off and down here on the4th fret, I bar across the bottom, 4th string. The reason I do that is because it’s easier for me to play in the 4th fret on the G and then the fourth and fifth on the B. So, once you get that fourth part, you’re going to bar your pointer finger across the bottom four strings, 4th fret. And then you’re going to play A string open twice, then you’re going to play 4th fret on the G string which is kind of the middle bar, back to the A string for once. Then on the B string you’re going to play four with the pointer finger bar, 5th fret on the ring finger, then 4th fret on the G. That sound like this. [Demonstration] So, I’m going to play the whole thing really slow and see guys can kind of get a feel for it. [Demonstration] Okay just like that. The tabs over here from the website below YouTube over here. all right, the guitar will play that eight times for the intro, that’s the kind of risk that you need to practice and it will become easier at little time. Guitar two during that strums four chords. So, the first chord you have is an E chord and if you look at that where it sets and E chord, vertically it’s got the chord, so it’s got on the low E, it’s got 0, 2, 2, 1, 0 all the means is however many times that shows it, that means it’s the only time you strum it. So, this ones got two columns of lines with the same chord, it’s got two then a space and one and then space and two. All that means is with the E chord you play down strum, you play the first two strums together, a short break, one and another short break and two more. So, you look at it, if you don’t understand, look at the tab, all right, but in your E chord you got, down, up, down, down, up. [Demonstration] So, that’s your E chord. Then you’re going to switch to the next chord, we bar across to bottom five string, 2nd fret, ring and pinky on your 4th fret in your two middle strings, your D and G and that’s the same strum pattern, slide everything up two frets and add your middle finger on your 5th fret of your B string and same pattern and then you slide everything, these two fingers here back down to your two middle strings, 2nd fret. So, you have open, open, two, two, open, open that strum pattern still. [Demonstration] All right, so that’s basically the strum pattern for that. guitar three has little risk, it’s you guys can figure it out and listen to the song too much and say. So, you can take a look at that risk it’s in the tabs. All right, the chorus. This song is in standard tuning, so the chords is basically just this pointer finger on the 4th fret bottom five strings, ring and pinky cover the 6th fret on your D and G. So, you’re going to play, this is open, muted and 805 play it. Next A string 4th fret, the next two strings your D and G, cover on the 6th fret and you can see how many times and number are we, so it’s eight and that means you can play 820, I will just play down and strum this song. [Demonstration] Then you slide everything up one fret and up one string. Pick your back up and slide these two fingers down on the 2nd fret, slide everything up two frets and down one string and then one more chord there. For the verse there are a couple other picking patterns that you guys can pick up on if you like, but mainly this chords you look at the tab and this is go on free to kind of figure out how to read tabs, watch my video on how to read tabs if you’re having trouble, but this has three guitars that gets in rhythm lead and intro lead and hopefully that helps you with the intro, that’s really the hardest part of this song. So, I think you guys can figure out the rest of it and I’m trying to work in lessons where I don’t walk you through the entire thing because I want you guys to try and figure out how to read some of these tabs for yourself. So, if something happens to me or this website and you guys are still be able to figure out a song, so good luck!
