All right guys, how is it going, it is Harry again. This is another song that you requested earlier today actually. It is Nickelback’s “How you remind me.” I am on the standard tuning. This is pretty simple but I am going to walk you through it right now. The verse, that part there is four chords. The first two chords and the second tune of these four are really similar. So I want you to start out in a bar chord. A bar across all six strings on the third fret with your pointer finger, down the fifth fret of the E, A, D string with your ring finger. On the G string, put your pinky finger. For this, you are going to have third fret, third fret, fifth fret, fifth fret, third fret, and third fret but use the bar.
The first chord you want to play though is you want to strum just the second, third and fourth string. The main string you want to avoid is this top. So if you play it here, it is okay but you want to focus on the A, D and the G string. And , the first kind of four beats will go like this. After that, what you are going to do is going to be the same chord except you just pick up your ring finger and play the C string now. So it is going to sound like this. That is the reason I had you bar across all six strings of that first chord but you are only going to play these three then to the second chord. Pick up your ring fingers and you are going to have a bar across the third fret, all six strings and your pinky is going to be on a E, A, D, G string. The four string down fifth fret so it is going to sound like this. In a bar across all this for the first time, you play your C string and then you are going to lift up your ring finger and play the top four.
It will sound like this. After you do that, you are going to slide that whole thing down to the first string in the first fret and do the exact same thing. So the next set of chords you are going to bar across all six strings in the first fret, put your ring finger in the third fret on the third string down of the D string and put your pinky finger on string below that third fret as well. You are going to do the same thing and play C string, take your ring finger off and play the top four strings. This is how it is going to sound like. So that is how it will go. Then you get in to the end of that and that is actually the pre-chorus. It is this first chord that we worked with where they are going to play just these three strings on the third fret, fifth fret and fifth fret, so it should sound like this.
Then, lift up your pinky or your ring and play the upward strings then go back down to this. So really, it is going to be in the pre-chorus. It is the same chords as the verse but it is only the first three. So the pre chorus is going to sound like this. The last chord is played for the two beats so we have this. After that, it goes into the chorus. And, the chorus is actually the same four chords as the verse but they are in different order. You are going to start out barring across all six strings on the third fret. The reason that I have you bar across all six is you could actually in a correct form will hit the bar across the five. I think it is much easier if you bar across the six because then you do not have to move your bar. You just keep it there. You just want to try to avoid playing this string on the chords. It is pretty relative. So as far as the chorus is ringing back to this, you start out with this.
We are going to have bar cross so bar, bar and this is fifth fret and pinky finger and you just play these three. The A, D and G then you are actually going to move down to the first fret and lift this ring finger up. It will sound like this. Move down, lift your ring finger and move to the fourth and then from there, you are going to put your ring finger back down on the other play and slide back up to here and lift your ring finger up again. So it is going to sound like this. Then start out in this where you are playing these three, slide in here and take your ring finger off and play the top four strings. Then put your ring finger back on, play the second, third, f
