Tim Huffman: Pivot is a little bit different; I am going to go from G to E Minor and you know you can do an E Minor in several different ways here in first positions but I am going to use my first and second finger, and the reason is as I switch from G to E Minor, I am going to leave my first finger on, and I may slide it a little bit but I am going to leave it in contact with the fret board. So instead of this... and releasing all my fingers, I am going to do this. Leave the first finger on and then the same is going to be true as I switch from E Minor to A Minor. I will leave my second finger on the middle finger as I switch to A Minor. E Minor to A Minor. And then as we go from A Minor to D7, and keep in mind, with your right hand and you are on the A Minor, you are going to hit 5strings on the D7, 4 and on the left hand I am going to leave the index finger on. So A Minor to D7. Again here is a Pivot, A Minor to D7.
So to review that sequence, I went from G to E Minor letting my first finger stay in touch with the fretboard as a Pivot finger. E Minor to A Minor. I am leaving my second finger on and then A Minor to D7, leaving my first finger on. So those are the three pivots and then as I go back to G, I am going to use this guide, let my third finger slide back to the G.
Giles Martin: Hi! I am Giles Martin, I am here in Abbey Road Studios to the right Yellow Submarine and Yellow Submarine was written as a children song. It was written by Paul over children deliberately. Apparently he went around and played it to Donovan and said, what do you think, and Donovan came up with lyrics Sky of blue, and sea of green.
Male Speaker: A G Major and then a D7. Set the first finger on the first fret of the second string.
