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.
