Alright guys. What’s up? It is Aaron. The first song that we are going to do tonight is actually a request that I got earlier. It is another Nickelback song and it is called “Hero”. It is actually one of the simple songs that I have gone over yet so we are getting to it in the moment I have sang it.
Alright. The verse in the beginning is really easy. It is two chords. This whole song is actually power chords. So for the verse of the beginning, you want to start with your finger bar across the 4th fret. Once you have that, you want to put on the 6th fret on the 2nd string down to your A string. You want to put your ring finger, put that right here. And then on the next string down which is your D string, you are going to put pinkie finger on the 6th fret. And then, you are only going to play the top three strings. So for the whole verse in the intro and everything, it is just this [Demonstration]. It is just four beats, or you can play like this [Demonstration]. It is just the intro of the first four beats. And then, you are going to slide all the way down, and the whole song is actually in the same chord formation other than the solo. So anytime you have your bar, you are going to have your ring finger and your pinkie finger 2 frets up on the 2nd and 3rd string. And you are only going to play these top three strings pretty much all the song other than one little part.
So we are going to start out, bar across 4th fret, then in the A string 6th fret ring finger, pinkie finger on the 6th fret of the D string. And once you played that 4 beats, you are going to slide down to this where you have actually—the only thing that you are going to be holding is everything is going to be open and then 2nd fret ring finger, 2nd fret pinkie open, open, open. You are going to play the top ones. So the intro is going to be like this.
[Demonstration]
And then in the verse.
[Demonstration]
It is just four beats from this bar chord which is actually—if you really think about it, there will be an E, D sharp. But, you just go to the 4th fret bar across and then 2nd string down, ring finger 3rd string down from top of each fingers. [Demonstration] And then slide all the way down until you just have an open 2nd fret ring, 2nd fret pinkie open, open, open [Demonstration].
Then the next part is the pre chorus. The pre chorus is actually, you are going to keep that same formation. So actually, these two fingers are going to be your tentative guide so this never leaves. So 4th fret [Demonstration] and you are going to the pre chorus, slide up the bar across the 3rd fret and then you strum the 5th fret. You will go [Demonstration]. I think that that is the part where it is ending that. The pre-chorus is like “watching us, watching us fly away”, then it gets right on the chorus.
So for that after the intro, we are going from 4th [Demonstration] and then we do it the same thing again here to here, slide to the 3rd fret and you are going to play 1-2-3 [Demonstration] then up until your bar is on the 5th fret and these are on the 7th [Demonstration] and then back down to the 2nd [Demonstration] that is the pre chorus.
I have the tabs, so if you are going to follow the tabs, they are really easy. You can hear it really easy when you play the song along with it too. So you won’t have any problem.
Then the chorus, you actually are going to go [Demonstration] 3, 5 and then a bar across this [Demonstration] and then a bar across 7 [Demonstration] and at the very end to that the first line on the chorus, you are going to go three in the 5th [Demonstration] and slide to the 5th and 7th [Demonstration] slide to the 7th and 9th [Demonstration]. When you get to the very end of that 7th to the 9th, you are going to actually slide down to get two beats on this bar across the 5th and then the ring finger and pinkie on the 7th fret. You need two beats. So the whole pre-chorus and the chorus is going to sound like this [Demonstration] 4th fret [Demonstration] that is how the first part sounds like.
Now, the second part of the chorus, it starts out with the same riff on
