Tomas: "House of the Rising Sun."
This song is a must for every guitarist.
I'm Tomas Michaud and this is my Guitar Songs To Learn For Beginners Number Four.
We're almost at the end.
This song is a little bit of a longer progression, but if you memorize the progression, and it's
a repeating pattern, when you memorize it, it's a breeze from then on.
Let's do it.
Play along with me.
Start with your E minor chord.
Then your G chord going to A and to C. Repeat that E minor, G, and B7 at the end of the
first phrase.
Memorize it in phrases.
Memorize that part.
Now watch the second phrase.
It's starts the same way.
E minor, G, A, C, go back to E minor, but this time go to the B7 and then down to E
minor.
At the end of the song, it ends on E minor, but if you're going up to the next verse,
you're going to actually go to B7.
That'll get you back into the tune.
Memorize that progression.
Now let's try a simple strum with it.
We're going to go straight down.
It's six beats.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Like that.
Simple.
I want you to count it in two pulses.
It'll actually make it easier to get the feel.
One two, two two, two two, one two, two two, play it.
One cha cha, two cha cha, one cha cha, two cha cha.
If you want to try it with a pick, no problem.
Same thing.
Now try that along with me.
E minor.
Ready.
Go.
Go to G, A, C, going back to the E minor, G, to the B7 and two measures of that.
That's one and two.
Now you start your second phrase G, A, C, back to the E minor, go to the B7, to E minor.
Now play it like you're going on to the next verse,the B7.
