Hey everybody! Rfrontier! This song was requested: Foster the People - Miss You - a not-as-well-known
Foster the People song but they all need good loving. So lets get right into it. (MUSIC)
Sometimes you're going to hear in the song, where it starts that line on the main verse
a really low sound, so low I can't even mimic it with my voice. Pretty much when Iisten
to it, it sounds like this - C octave. If that's too low for you, play it up here! That
is before you start hearing the: (MUSIC) . So at the beginning of the line, go with C. Next
up we're going to be playing the chord -- this is pretty much how the progression is going
to be for the next 3 chords. Each time you play each chord, you're going to be playing
the 5th note in it like for this here, and then the next chord is going to have your
3rd note in it, meaning pretty much like your middle finger is going to move where your
thumb is. Then, when your thumb is here, you are going to move your middle finger there.
So, the first one is going to be Cm: C, Eb, G. Our 2nd chord is going to be D#: D#, G,
Bb. Next is going to be Gm: G, Bb, D. So from the beginning it would sound like this: (MUSIC).
Now the rest is really for your thumb here, your middle finger and your pinky can go take
a vacation. We are going to move our thumb from D to D#, D, F, D. All the while you'll
be hitting these two fingers. (MUSIC) After we do the D, D#, D, F, D and we do this one
more time, we are going to change it to D, D#, D, G, D. You notice the difference? The
first time you go to F, and the second time you go to G. Before we go into the chorus,
there is a lead part, not when you first play this verse part, but after you go through
the chorus, you go back to the verse part and you will hear this lead part on the higher
octave: (Plays Music: Miss You - Lead Part (off screen)) I would recommend you have another
instrument play that for you but if you are just such a determined person where you will
practice this song and get it just right, then go for it and learn it. I will just show
you briefly how to play it. You can't see it on the camera up here, so I'll bring it
down here, understand this is what I'm playing up here. F, F, F, F, G, F (Repeats 3x) F,
F, F, G, Bb, C, Eb, D. (Repeats altogether). Now lets jump into the chorus! (Music: Miss
You Chorus) For the chorus, we're going to start it off with a good old G#: C, D#, G#.
Our next chord is going to be D# which is going to be: Bb, D#, G. (Music: Miss You Chorus)
Our next chord is going to be G#maj7: G#, C, D#, G. Now keep your 3 fingers here and
instead of playing G up here for the next chord, instead of the 7th note, you're going
to play the 6th note with your ring finger, which is F. So take your pinky off of G, and
put your ring finger down on F. Altogether these chords would sound like: (Music: Miss You Chorus). Then that takes
us back up to playing D#. Again that's Bb, D#, G. Then we will play Bbsus: Bb, D#, F.
From there we will play Bdim: B, D, F. Then we will finish off the line with G7: G, B,
D, F. I will play it real slowly here: (Music: Miss You Chorus) (says chords as he plays
them). Now there's just one more part. I mean the lead, that part: (Plays lead) At the end
there is a part that goes like this... and honestly that one lead part (Plays lead) switches
up a bit. I don't feel like going into 10 minutes of explaining how each of those notes
go. If you play with it, you'll figure out how it goes with the notes. So, on the last
part though, you're going to hear something like this: (Plays lead). I will show you how
that is played. Again that is played on this octave up here. If this were middle C, we
would be playing that off of the next C, that is where you would start this. So that you
can actually see what I'm doing, lets move down here. You are pretty much going to be
playing the Cm scale. (Notes to play are on the screen) Then it will start over. (Plays
it one more time) and
you know that is just how the song ends. Hope you've enjoyed this tutorial! Please remember
