Your Guardian Angel Red Jumpsuit Apparatus on Guitar

Alright guys, this is one of my favorite songs that I want to do video on it for quite sometime but I am just kind to get around until now. So it is called the You Are My Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. It is really not too bad of song if you really just know what the accent or certain notes in certain strings and really kind a give of that unique sound. So first we are on drop C tuning for you guys do not know what that is basically it drops D but everything step lower. So, the two way to get to it, you can either like you know drop C is basically C is one step lower than D. So you can use that as you can drop a standard and you can drop this string your low E string. You can drop that down to a D, so you are in drop E tuning or you would be D, A, D, G, B, E and then take everything down a step. So if you do not know what drop C tuning is, actually what you are going to have is you are going to have this string is in a C. So this string actually two steps down from a C, your E down to D down to C. So this string your low E is in C, this string is in a G because it is an A, G, the third string is C then your F half, last one which is a G step or G is in A actually I am sorry it is actually your B string is an A and D at the bottom. So we can top the bottom which you have C, G, C, F, A, and B. So that is what how your tuning should be. It is going to sound like this, it is going to sound really low. [Demonstration] And some your strings might rattle if you do not have really thick gauge strings on but enough for that. This is kind of -- I am going to play the real riff that makes up the majority of the song and so you guys kind to listen to it and kind to watch how it is not really difficult. [Demonstration] Alright, so that is the intro verse everything kind of open together. The intro I am going to start out with your barre across the fifth fret since your in drop D your barre chords and it sounds pretty good one and what you are going to do actually that your pointer finger is you can play -- [Demonstration] And you can play, so down, down, up, down, up and then on next down you are going to hammer on this ring finger on to your E, A, D third string down from the seventh fret then you are going to go. [Demonstration] And take it off, so you can have. [Demonstration] And the next thing you are going to do is on that seventh fret your ring finger, or you hammer it on. So it is kind of like this. [Demonstration] So I am just pointing on that strings, so barre across fifth and you are going to go, and you can play this D string third string down and you -- and strum. [Demonstration] And then take it off, once you take it off you are going to move it down to the next string those are E, A, D, G string. Instead of a G, they are actually in an F. So, you are going to go it is going to be fourth string down. [Demonstration] Kind to gives that -- you can tell the background -- [Demonstration] And you can go open and take the string -- and you can hammer on the seventh fret of your third string down, this can be like. [Demonstration] It can be -- [Demonstration] It is really the strum patterns going to sound like -- and precisely in translate. [Demonstration] You can play that about four beats in the seven so, and in the fourth. So if you start at the beginning you got --. [Demonstration] Open, seventh down to fourth and then you have up here on the next string down to your fourth string down actually it goes something like. [Demonstration] So the seventh, five, four of it and that is how you are playing with this one pointer finger you just strum the rest strings the same time so it is like. [Demonstration] It is one beat for each one. So, starting from the beginning kind to run through it -- [Demonstration] Open, seven down to four and then seven, five, four, zero and after you get the seven, five, four, zero you are going to straight into a barre chord on where are your barre all across these strings on the second fret and this is from that I kind of run into lessen up a little bit as you are going to be on barre across the second fret and you are going to go. [Demonstration] Except and you are going to hammer with your ring finger on the fourth fret of your third string down. [Demonstration] And then you are going to add after you hammer on with that ring finger so it is going to. [Demonstration] So you have to hammer on that ring finger, you are actually going to put your pinky on the fifth fret for that same string for couple of bits. [Demonstration] And take it off so it is just going to be. [Demonstration] And then you can slide up to barre across the third fret and then your ring finger is going to get third string down on the fifth fret, pinky is going to go fourth string down on the fifth fret. [Demonstration] So it is going to be barre chord. If it beats up to the fifth fret the same formation your keep is different side. So, I am going over that one more time barre across the fifth, start up. [Demonstration] Hammer on the seventh fret the third string down with your ring finger, off, take that ring finger put it right below it on the seventh fret of the fourth string down four beats, and if everything is open, and hammer on the seventh fret the third string down, slide down to the fourth with couple beats. [Demonstration] And up here on the fourth string down it is seven, five, four, open straight to your barre on a two, hammer on the fourth fret and third string down then you your pinky on the fifth fret, back in the fourth then go right in the barre chord. Way all across third fret, third string on your ring finger, fourth string on your pinky, and fifth fret couple beats up to the fifth fret barre and ring finger on the seventh fret and pinky finger on seventh fret on the third and fourth strings down. Once you have that that is basically the main riff then what you have to is sometimes the chords go play a barre cross to the fifth top three strings and open and barre cross the second fret and slide up and do that little barre on the third fret or you just playing the second, third and fourth strings at time. In one of the other verses they play that same order of chords except the strum so it was like five, open, two, five, open, two and then barre cross with a ring and pinky that will fit. So, and basically when I am playing that five, open, two and playing this top three strings that is what kind of giving a distinct sound. Other than that like after the chorus it that riff again, you can hear that riff through distinct the verse later it is the five, zero, two, and three, five strumming. The interlude is that main riff twice I believe and there is actually one part where the -- you got it is like -- [Demonstration] And that is -- that makes for the main riff the second part of it and you can see you do not have that you start in the main riff again the second time. There is a distorted alter where it is just like -- it is was like -- [Demonstration] There and it goes five, open, and it was like various beat at the very end the alter where it is like the fifth fret and it is like nine, 11th , it is like but you need this middle strings it is like -- but only you can play that, it is on the tab that I am going to give you guys but I am playing that thing it is a waste of time I think ruins the sounds. So you can play if you want it if you can master it then more power to you because I cannot but I hope for that video helps in tabbing that have appeared. You got some any questions tab using, let me know and we will do some for you. So, I hope this lesson help and you can play the song now. So, thanks a lot guys.
