Tim Huffman: Now this is going to be an A minor 7 and you will notice when I add the E minor and I switch to A minor 7, I release my ring-finger and add my index finger.
And then the two fingers that stay the same are the middle finger and the pinkie. So here is the E minor, the A minor 7.
And then from A minor 7 I am going to a D sets 4, and as I do that the pinkie becomes the pivot. So A minor 7 switching to a D sets 4.
So just like we did earlier except we got the chords that have a little more rich sound, G switching to E minor. So in this case the only finger that is moving is the second finger.
Now E minor to A minor 7 as I make this transition I leave the second and the fourth finger on, and then A minor 7 to D sets 4, I am going to leave the pinkie on and then back to G, I leave the third finger and the fourth finger on.
So there you have two nice application points for the concept of leveraging pivot and guide fingers trying to create a great economy of motion and closing that gap as you switch from chord-to-chord.
Giles Martin: Hi! I am Giles Martin; I am here in Abbey Road Studios two, talking about Yellow Submarine. Now Yellow Submarine was written as a children's song. It was written overnight by Paul for children. And apparently he went around and pleaded to Donovan and said, "What do you think?" And Donovan came up with the lyrics, "Sky of blue, sea of green."
Rob Schumann: A G major and then a D7 sets the first finger on the first fret of the second string.
"We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine."
