oh
[Music]

[Music]
hey everyone my name is ruben juan and
this is a short tutorial slash guide
for my version of pure imagination
there's a backing track and taps
available for purchase on my website
and without further ado let's get
started the song is in the key of e
major
the song starts with the melody
[Music]
you slide with the middle finger from
fret four
onto frets six
and then you play either an open e or
you can play the e on the b string
then we do a pretty a major nine
we repeat the melody
then this time we do an a minor six
repeat the melody
the third chord would be a c sharp minor
nine
then we have a transition
[Music]
i played the bass note uh here on the e
string
on the seventh fret it's a b note
and then on the high e we play on the
11th fret
at the same time finish
it up with a e major first inversion all
together
a major nine
[Music]
a minor six
sharp minor knight
[Music]
e major first inversion
we play the melody again into a major
nine
two harmonics the first one on the
seventh fret
on strings d and then the other one
on the 12th fret on the b string
then we play a minor 6 slash e
back to the melody
c sharp minor knight
and we finish it up with a b slash c
[Music]
sharp
and that's the main theme for pure
[Music]
imagination
[Music]
that first part was the main theme of
pure imagination i play it with only
guitar
first and the second time around when
the beat comes in i play it one more
time
i switch guitars for the solo section
because i use the whammy bar a lot
but you can virtually play with any
guitar for the solo section
i won't go into a lot of details but
i'll play
every section slowly remember that
there's a backing track
and taps available for purchase on my
website or the description below
and let's get started the solo starts
with
the main melody in octaves
[Music]
then we do pentatonix
[Music]
on frets 12.
[Music]
we move on
[Music]
it's just playing the same four notes
with slides and whammy bar
you can if you don't have a bombing bar
just repeat the notes four times
[Music]
or
we move on
[Music]
slowly
then we do one of my favorite licks
[Music]
i'm finished with some sectoplets
[Music]
after the six duplets
slowly it's basically the same note
after that we go
slowly
it's basically playing the exact same
note with
sliding up sliding down sliding up
sliding down however you want to do it
it's basically random but feel free to
experiment around it
after the same note rapid fire
succession lick we just did
we play a major 7 arpeggio
and lastly we end the solo on frets
seven to nine on the b string
[Music]
and then we do it in an octave
[Music]
if you don't have a whammy bar remember
just repeat the notes
[Music]
and we start the main melody again
[Music]
and that's how you play my version of
pure imagination remember
if you want the tabs or the backing
track to play along it's available for
purchase on my website
