Hey what’s up everybody! It’s Aaron. The last song I’m going to teach you tonight is by Hinder called Without You. I’ve been getting a lot of requests for lately, so it’s actually pretty similar song, and chord formations and stuff to the song you don’t think that there’s a rapper song I just taught. I can’t remember right now. It Won’t Be Like This For Long, it’s what it is. So, the only thing that’s different is the guitar is in half step down tuning, so it’s E flat, A flat, D flat, G flat, B flat, E flat. If you don’t have a tuner yet, I suggest you getting one. It’s going to be tough to play the guitar at all really in tuning because if you’re not in tuned, you’re not going to be able to get the sound that you want. It’s going to be frustrating so get a tuner. Google how to use it. Read your manual, whatever.
So this song kind of starts off with a little riff that I like to play like this. It sounds something like this [Demonstration]. Alright, the tabs for this are going to be over here. If you’re on YouTube, the tabs are going to be here on the info box. If you’re on the website, freeandeasyguitar.com which I hope you’re on. Check it out down here, if not, then go to the website and check it out.
But like I said, half step down, the intro, right on the picking pattern that I’m playing is on the tab. But the chord formation that I want you to use for the intro, I actually, we’re going to call this an A sus, okay. What you’re going to do is you’re going to come down to the third string down. This is your D string, put your ring finger on the second fret, on the fourth string down which is your G string and put your pinky on the second fret. So it sounds like this [Demonstration], half step down tuning, an A sus. That’s the chord formation you’re going to use for the picking pattern the intro. You’re going to play it two times but you’re going to start off, you’re going to play in the A and the D string together. So you’re going to pick the A and the E, and then strum it together [Demonstration]. Then you’re going to play the G string, B string, G, then on the high E, you’re going to go high E, B, G, B. So basically numbering them, one, two, three, four, five, six. You’re going to play four and five together, then play three, two, three, one, two, three, two, so [Demonstration]. Once you play that, you’re going to slide at this same formation you have in the same two strings, just slide it up to the fourth fret. We’ll keep them on the same string, just slide up two frets. Put your pointer finger on the second fret of your A, and you’re playing the same exact picking pattern. You just have a different chord formation so before it was [Demonstration]. Now it’s up here [Demonstration] alright. So that’s your whole intro. Just play it twice up here [Demonstration] slide up right there [Demonstration] twice up there, alright.
For the verse, the chords you’re going to use is this A sus here [Demonstration], okay. You’re going to use a B sus [Demonstration], but what I want you to do to play this is you have your A sus here, just like the intro chord [Demonstration]. I want you to slide that to the fourth and do the same second chord like you did during the intro [Demonstration]. We’re going to call that a B sus [Demonstration]. You can also play it B major bar chord [Demonstration], but I don’t like the way it sounds much. And also, with this B sus, you can bar across all five strings [Demonstration] play that if you want. But I prefer just playing pointer finger second fret A [Demonstration] then the middle two strings, your ring and pinky are on the fourth fret, and this, your B and high E are open. I just like the sound it gives [Demonstration]. So these chords, we start on A [Demonstration] ok. So that’s the verse [Demonstration], Alright, so the strum pattern, this is, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, down, up, switch, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, down, up, switch [Demonstration]. You need to do it twice.
