what you know about rolling down in the
deep when your brain goes numb you can
come it'll freeze
what is up you guys we're gonna be
learning how to play astronaut in the
ocean by masked wolf this has been a
song that i've been obsessed with
recently it has honestly gotten me to
practice guitar a lot more it's also a
super popular song so i figured maybe
some of you want to learn how to jam to
it as well so let's go ahead and get
started this simple riff takes place on
just the sixth string and we're going to
start with an open string
and second finger third fret first
finger second
so
and then
so we end up on the fifth fret
and that is the opening line now once
you have down the riff it really sets
you up for the rest of the song because
the riff notes are actually the root
notes of the chords that we're going to
be playing also if you're someone that
struggles with bar chords you probably
already saw this coming but we do have
some bar shapes that we're playing and
the strumming
is a little trippy so that in
combination with bar chords is kind of
like a um
all right so starting off we have an e
minor
our next chord is a g minor
slide this shape down one fret you have
an f sharp minor
slide it back up to the fifth fret and
you have an a minor
and those are all of our chords all
right so we're going to go ahead and get
started with our chord progression there
are two parts to this the first part
starts off on an e minor
to a g minor
to our f sharp minor
then the second half goes back to the e
minor
g minor
f sharp minor
and then a minor
so just like we were playing in the riff
[Music]
that's exactly what you're doing so the
first half of the progression is going
to be strum like this
[Music]
so if you mute all your strings just
like this you can actually practice that
down down up up down
now we need to connect that to go to our
second half of the pattern so after the
part where we go down
we go up down up down down and then we
go to our second half of the progression
where we go
because we go to the a minor so that
chucking is up down up and then we put
the pressure back on whichever chord
we're playing down down up or down down
[Music]
and that is the entire song also don't
forget to check out my beginner guitar
course it includes a seven-day practice
planner i'll link it down below but it
basically helps you take a song like
this and break it down over the course
of a week and it tells you what to
practice every single day so you're not
guessing or wondering or falling off
track it makes your practice sessions
more focused more fun
and more effective
[Music]
that's all the lyrics i know plus i
cannot rap so i will spare you on that
but you get the idea you play that
progression throughout the entire song
if you'd like to share your progress
with me you can tag me with your video
on instagram guitar goddess tv using the
hashtag dg community i would love to see
your progress on practicing this song
that is going to be it for today's video
i want to thank you so much for hanging
out with me and i will see you guys in
my next one
[Music]
i can see it in your eyes you don't
wanna talk anymore
