So the verse is the same pretty much as the intro as far as the chord progression goes. Ok and that's the main theme, lead part throughout the rest of the tune. And end on the fifteenth fret of the B string. Slide up to the seventeenth fret of the B string. Then we go fourteen, twelve on the B string. SO that's same as the first time, the last time. Ok, now the second time through the intro, I'm sorry I said verse before. Ok? So that's the first time through the verse. Then we do the same thing as the first time. Then we do the same thing but we land on the fourteenth fret of the D string.

And then he lets that ring the first time though the intro. It looks like I'm playing The E pentatonic minor, it's G.

So if you remember from some of the theory stuff we've done, E pentatonic minor has the same notes as G pentatonic major so, even though I'm playing. But we're gonna play the relative pentatonic minor fingering. Although that covers most of the verse as well. Now, on top of those two, we have the lead part. But those are two of the ones that are pretty prominent. He doesn't play it the exact same way every time. And you don't even have to play that particular arpeggiated pattern because it kind of really changes throughout the song. You can decide if you're playing by yourself how you want to break this up. The little riff ends on the one of the next time around the Chord progression. Now instead of going to the D, this guitar part does a little riff that'll sound familiar to you, it goes. One of the guitars does something a little different. Ok that's what is gonna be played in the verses now, and the intro. So that plays along with the first one we did. Sp there's two arpeggiating rhythm guitar parts. Same pick pattern.Īnd then to our D, a regular D. We don't need our third finger because we're not gonna pick that. Then we're gonna go to a C, we don't need to play the whole thing. Just a different way of playing it, Then we're gonna put our third finger on the fourth fret of the D string then we're gonna go. Second finger on the third fret of the B string. So I'm barring the second fret G, B and E string. So it's still a D with an F sharp in the bass. It goes like that.ĪNd then we go to this for the D. I just need to Barre the high E and B string second finger on the fourth fret of the G and the third finger on the fifth fret of the D string. So I'm basically gonna play the G like a G Barre chord with the root on the E string but I'm just playing the higher strings so I don't need to barre it. Now there's another guitar part and it's going to play the same chords but different fingerings up in a higher register. And you're basically doing that pick pattern throughout the entire tune. Then when you get to the C you're gonna change it a little but, you're gonna move everything down a string. Then we go to our D with our F Sharp, Same thing exactly. So I am picking G, D string G string back to D string B, G, D, G. He's basically just arpeggiating the chords but the main pattern is something like that. Now there's a pick pattern and it kind of changes throughout. Now if you can't play the F sharp on the low E string with your thumb you could just play a D chord. It goes G, to a D with an F sharp on the bottom, which I'm playing with my thumb over the top of the neck.

So let's start with the basic Chord progression. This is a great tune too because the lead part is pretty easy and if you're just learning bends this is a great tune to practice with. We're gonna learn two different rhythm guitar parts and also the lead part. In this lesson we're going to be learning Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton.
