So, guys the next request for the day is a song called “Must Be nice” by Lyfe Jennings. --
Listening to that song, I am not sure if he finger picks it or he plays with a pick. He probably finger picks it. So, I am going to teach that first. There are really three chords that I like on that little riff. So, standard tuning, no key lowering, okay. When Lyfe has play, he is going to play A, D, and G. That will be the 2nd, 3rd, 4th string from the top. These three. When he plays them together, he picks them, so can play them like this or he can play with the pick. I like the finger pick better. But let a bar across 6th fret. I guess we are going to have to bar, you put your pointing finger on the 6th fret and then 6th fret of the 6th string under A string.
First you are going to do is put you ring finger on the 8th fret and 8th again with your pinky finger on the G string. That is what it sounds like. Put that once, 6th and 8th you go. Then slide down two more frets. See that. 4 and 6, then you slide down to 1-3. When I say 1-3 that means your pointing finger is on the 1st fret until it is here on the 3rd fret. So, the 6-8, 4-6, 1-3. Then he goes up to the B string just your 2nd string at the bottom, 5th string at the top. And he plays a little riff it is 7, 6, 4. Then he goes in the string and plays 6. So, it sounds like this.
Then he goes to riff again with that little -- like that. So, 6-8, 4-6, 1-3, a 7, 6, 4 with your B string, then pluck at the bottom, 2nd one up to the top. 7, 6, 4 and then 6 with your G string which is the 4th down from the top to the bottom. And then, for the -- that is the entire chorus. I think the verse, he just strums these chords to replace the piano and so if you want to play it, I am going to strum them and it sounds something like this.
[Demo]
I like finger picking better, since it is easier playing just like three strings. When you are trying to isolate strings it is easier to stay on the tabs.
[Demo] And then -- [Demo] So, that is a short lesson but that is all I have got for that song. So, that might be a solo or something. But that is the whole way through but if I missed anything, if I am then try to update it by yourself. You may want to do this and there are some other some ways for me trying to create a video.
So, thanks a lot guys. See you!
