Hi guys welcome back.
We're now going we're looking at the core part of this wonderful little Travis picking Choon.
Now it starts to get a little bit tricky in the course.
First of all it's a little bit longer just in terms of we've got a lot more chords before we go back
to the verse and there's some new chord shapes and we're moving from each string with notes and a string.
So first job is to learn the chord shapes.
OK.
So we start again on G.
Excellent news of the thing we all agree.
We loved the G.
Now we're going to dujean for two bars and then we're going to go to this funky little chord which we're
going to call D US for Slash F sharp.
So this is another slash chord.
So again this is basically a D asked for.
But in the root note we're going to put F sharp.
So if you look at the high part of this chord that's your thesis for we're probably used to seeing like
this we do the day and you add your little finger tips for butts because we need to get the rhythm the
F sharp ivory finger in it to work like this.
So I've got my first finger on the arms of the second string.
Then after that I've got an open D string want to just about the string at all.
Can get black belt out pretty much.
Then I've got my second finger on the second fret and the G string third finger third string little
finger.
On the third fret all Eastern.
Now the good news about those two being there is that's exactly the same as G.
So you've really got to do when you come from G to this new chord is put the first finger up and bring
the second finger down and just try and find that what I guess is a pretty fiddly chord.
Okay so don't be surprised if it took you a little bit of time just to really resolve that with your
fingers.
And we're going to do that called for two bars as well.
So we're getting from Jason just practice his first change so to speak.
And more than one two three dese us for Slash F sharp two or three.
Then we're going out to our seat at nine.
Okay so we've been practicing this in the previous lesson so we should know that.
We going to do that one bar before going into a little bit of a base no movement account because we're
going to go from there.
And that's at 9:00 we're going to take away the third finger and put the first finger on the second
fret of the A string.
Which gives us a chord.
We're going to call it a GS slash B because this again is a G major chord basically C everything still
the same but we're just starting.
It's why it's slash B.
Then you're going to take that first finger away entirely and we're going to do something called a G
slash a.
So I've just got my open a string.
Now what was the old back to the gene.
Rather little complicated bit is see at night and you just go down to your first fingers on the second
string then nothing at all on the string and then bandaging.
And to finish off the course we're going to go to a T which we are actually just going to strum.
Okay.
The rest is all fingerpicking with the track we're speaking but we're going strong.
So without any finger picking the course just simply go to bars to read more than our new chord slash
hejab.
Thing is see my four bar one two three four then down to me.
G two three four.
So to cause that just go down words like that.
They go for half a bar each.
So next let's look at our Travis picking that's going on side that again nothing changes.
Okay.
So whenever you're on a chord that has a root no on the string we do our normal Travis picking.
When you're on a call that has the root on the A string.
We do exactly the same thing except from the A string just like we were practicing on the sea at nine
before.
Well you've got to be aware of when to change the chords.
So I'm going to go through it really slowly with the Travis picking.
So two bars on the G.
Three four.
One two three and four.
And they really are.
So that takes us for such Bashar al.
Four.
One two three four and nine.
So some now on a string.
One two.
Ring more than beeban.
Okay.
Just to clarify that part.
We go one.
Two three.
And then abandon the G bar.
And then on the day.
So let me go through that with our trusty drum machine.
Here we go play.
There it is.
Now let me just play through the whole thing a few times around that that cause a few times around.
And gradually you'll start to see how we get it all together.
So one two three and four.
And G.
To call these sounds for such sharp.
Lovely.
I love that.
Yeah.
Nine.
And then quick operation.
Then some day.
Because again three four.
You called us slash sharp.
Lots to think about when you go out with this headline.
What comes down to the string.
The J.
B.
Slattern a.
Back to the J.
And imagine the is going to go back into the verse.
It sounds like this.
You as we practice this is now back in.
So let's stop there.
So in terms of your chord chart is very simply is your verse then your course which is just one times
round you only go 1 times around the chorus.
So ending on the moon and then back to the verse then cause the first thing cause then verse then cause
five times round.
OK.
So it's a really fun song to play along too.
Don't underestimate how hard this can be to get it up to the right pace.
It is relatively slow but you know we've only just started doing this technique and it's a totally new
thing there's no strumming all our stuff that we spent months developing.
We're now kind of not doing that for the moment too all fingers so please don't kind of really get annoyed
with yourself because you're not picking out fast.
This does take a long time to get right especially sounding nice and subtle like that.
So have some fun with it.
And next time we're going to come back and look at more Travis picking and take things to the next level.
