What is up guys, it is Aaron; A long weekend, Sunday evening, trying to get some videos up for you guys.
This one is by Rodney Adkins. It is called “Cleaning This Gun”. I am not sure it is pretty easy. The only thing here is to do is I play it in drop D tuning. The reason I am playing drop D just because it gives that real, it is kind of low. But I am going to teach you how to drop D, but at for some reason, you do not like it, you want to play it in standard tuning, all you have to do that is just play the chords that are linked with the tabs.
It is like it, here is D, G, C, A. Everything I am going to teach you exactly the same except the G chord. The G chord is going to be the only thing that what would be different if you want to play this in standard tuning or drop D. I play at drop D tuning, starts out in like a D. Put your pointer finger four string down II fret and your ring finger at fifth string up from top III fret, it is your G string,
[Demonstration]
II fret and you B string III fret,
[Demonstration]
And basically I am just doing,
[Demonstration]
That is,
[Demonstration]
And then I will play the A string open,
[Demonstration]
And my middle finger on the III fret. So we go,
[Demonstration]
Then the D string open.
[Demonstration]
So, we go A string open,
[Demonstration]
Middle finger on the III fret, A string.
[Demonstration]
So, A string is open III,
[Demonstration]
The D string open III,
[Demonstration]
And back to the D string open or the A string open,
[Demonstration]
So, we go A string open, III fret,
[Demonstration]
D string open, III fret,
[Demonstration]
Then, you get the A string open,
[Demonstration]
So, you get the A string open,
[Demonstration]
It is the number two string down, the second string down open, your A string open,
[Demonstration]
A string III fret,
[Demonstration]
D string open,
[Demonstration]
D string III fret,
[Demonstration]
And then I put A string open.
[Demonstration]
And III fret,
[Demonstration]
With D string open. So, on the A string open III, D string open III, A string open III, and then play the D string. So,
[Demonstration]
So, far the first through such as the,
[Demonstration]
And then the last thing I do is to turn drop D tuning, that this is the reason I like the drop D because you going to get this out like,
[Demonstration]
Five,
[Demonstration]
Three,
[Demonstration]
Open,
[Demonstration]
And you get that low, real low D sound; you have to be in drop D. You want to play this in standard tuning, then you can play. I guess you could play III fret, I fret, and then go up on your A string, and go and see A, B, C, play V fret. Well, that is going to sound different because you lines is not going to be deep like,
[Demonstration]
Like that, well, that was a lot playing drop D. Then after that, the chord is just simple, sorts out the declaration of independence, you just,
[Demonstration]
So, it like down,
[Demonstration]
Switch, so, that was the D chord,
[Demonstration]
And then, I play the G chord. So, the only thing is going to be different than if we are playing the standard or drop D. Since you are in drop D, what that means is that everything been on this E string is two step lower.
[Demonstration]
So G normally is here, but since you made the string lower, you G actually is down here and the F go higher.
[Demonstration]
So, this is a G note,
[Demonstration]
So,
[Demonstration]
G string open,
[Demonstration]
Can you hear that sing like,
[Demonstration]
So, you play your G this time, instead of going up here, having this bass note,
[Demonstration]
On the E string on the III fret, you only take your ring finger and throw in the V fret up, alright?
Now, it is good for this E string is now your G note,
[Demonstration]
And now, I just take my pointer finger and put it right here, to cover the III fret on your B and high E strings.
[Demonstration]
We are here.
[Demonstration]
So, this goes,
[Demonstration]
So, that is how I play my G in drop D. ring finger V fret of your low E string and your B in high
