Ok. We are only focusing on Part I of this song right now, since
it is a little more advanced, and is rather hard to play on acoustic.
You will hear the bends and how hard they really are to play
on the acoustic.
This song can be played on the acoustic correctly by remembering
our biggest rule of thumb - Use your fingers correctly!
We always want to try to space our fingers and assign them the
correct notes.
Here are the chords used in the backing track. Check them closely,
as playing them the following way really makes the chords sound
good :
G Bm
Em Am7
Am D
Bbm
Intro
In the intro, the first two bars are repeated. The backing track
of chords are really just played as the bass notes for the lead
in between. What you will want to remember is to only strike these
chords about once, sometimes allowing the chord to ring a little.
Almost all the bends that you will play are FULL bends. To me,
full bends are sometimes easier than other bends. This is just
my opinion. Also, there are a few triplets, but they aren't really
that difficult until you get to the solo. Everything else is pretty
much standard as far as slides and such.
Here is the backing track using chords :
Here is the entire intro played together :
We didn't include the very first riff because it is IMPERATIVE
that you see the difference. The first measure uses accents, where
as the repeating fifth measure uses triplets.
