Hey, what is up guys. We will do one more video tonight for you guys and it is actually the song that I have been wanting to do for sometime. It is called “You and I Both” by Jason Mraz. Really cool song. I am sure you guys have heard it but it is pretty simple.
There are two options on how to play this song. The tab I am going to give you recommends bar chords. So, if you do not know about bar chords, if you do not, I have two videos that cover the basics of the bar chords. How the notes move up but for the sake of the beginners, I am going to teach you with open chords. So, the tab over here will be a little bit different. You will see a couple of things different from the tab, the one I am going to teach you. One, one the first line is G, the next is GM7. You can try and play the GM7 the way that have it listed, if you want. I do not play it that way. I actually just play a G all the way through. Then whenever it says Em on the tab. I am going to show you. Alright, so Gm. So, “Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen to me” Okay, so like this. [Demo]
Alright, now this computer is kind of shaking. It is kind of scratchy, I guess you would say. You might hear it is like jumping whenever I am strumming. So I am going to go really slow and tell you out loud the strum pattern, alright? So, for G, it is down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. So, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. Down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. Alright, you do that twice for the first line. Okay. Then you go to Em which is “All things is going to happen naturally.”
Go to your Em, but what I want you to do is take you ring, pinky and add them on the bottom of the two strings on the 3rd fret. Same place these two are on the G [Demo]. You use the same strum pattern. Down, up, down, up, down. Down, up, down, up, down. But the rhythm is just like this. [Demo] Down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down.
Like that, alright. The third chord I am going to choose the Am. Okay, the tab here is Am. I want you to make that Am and lift your ring finger off the G string, 2nd fret. So, it sounds like that. [Demo] That is what I think it should sound. It sounds like this. It is kind of a subtle difference until you really strumming. [Demo] It is kind of dark and kind of breaks up a little bit. So, that is how you play “Oh taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side”. That is two matches. Same strum patterns as the beginning and balancing the whole thing. You are going to play your C, and balancing. But what I want you to do in your C, instead of playing the regular C, take your pinky and put that on the 3rd fret on your B string. It sounds like this. It is the regular C, I want it to sound like this. Listen to that, regular C, now, I want you to put them on the 3rd fret. Alright, then I want you to strum that same strum pattern but instead of twice, two measures, you are going to go down, up, down, up, down. Down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. Switch to a D. [Demo] Alright, then it starts back over.
So, all you get there is G, Em, with two fingers down at the bottom two strings like in the G. Am without the ring finger. To C, to the D and it starts back over.
Alright, the chords, I used the same strum pattern. “Cause you and I both loved. What you and I spoke of.” Single chords, Em with that two fingers. “And others just read of.” Am without the ring. “Others only read” C, “of the love” D, “of the love that I love.” And then you strum that G for two measures. Why does the “Yeah, luveedeedum” Whatever. What you need to attention is at the “dum” you will go to an Em. And then it goes into “So I'm all about them words” [Demo] It goes into Em, “pages, pages, pages” Gm, “More words than I had ever heard” C with that pinky 3rd fret and that finishes in the D. Alright. The chords again is the same and “And with this silence” is in Am. And with this silence brings a moral story. More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy”, D. “Cause you and I both loved” back in the chords.
