TITLE: CIRCLES MAC MILLER GUITAR LESSON
hi it's Tom I'm doing another tutorial today from the new Mac Miller album how
long a chance listen to the album over the weekend and it's such a strong
representation of how good he was just something to bear in mind when you're
going through the tutorial today there's two different sections
there's Part A which is the riff or the chord progression which is played
through the whole song except for the part where you playing Part B and Part B
is played from in the first verse in the lyrics I cannot be changed I cannot be
changed up to the chorus of drawing circles and in the second verse you
playing for the Part B section from the lyrics you're feeling sorry I'm feeling
fine once again up to the chorus of drawing circles so I'll play through the
two riffs at a few different speeds today and I'll also go through some
chords you can play over the top of the track and also I'll go through some
beginner chords or some basic chords that you can use to play along as well
now the actual track is being played on a bass as far as I can tell so I've had
to modify it a bit for the guitar here it is
did
you
so at the main roof there's not a whole lot to go through but the tab written
out there with the e call at the start I'm using an a major shape here and with
the a major chord I'm just playing the two notes the root and the third of that
a major chord and then the D sus - the only thing to think about with the
rhythm is making sure that you're putting that onto the right beat so as
one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and
two and three and four and one two four and with part base the same thing is
exactly the same rhythm that D six chord is a little bit awkward to get into but
I'm using my middle finger my pinky and my index finger on that one any other
causes are the same so that is it for the riff so with the full chords I would
use an E major
that the emajor used in the main roof which has an a major shape but for the a
I wouldn't just play those two notes I'd actually play an a major seven because
it sounds richer harmonically which is I think more in line with what's going on
in the track and once again I'm going to use a D suspended two chord dzasta two
chord for Part B I once again I'm gonna be using that a major chord and I'm
using a d6 chord
now for Part B I would instead of resolving it on the a major seven I
would use an a major so then the progression becomes a major
d6 and then the final call being a major
where the bar on the fifth fret and a major shape here so then it sounds like
this
yeah I think that sounds good for that part b of the progression now with the
basic chords for Part A and if you don't know what parlor in Part B is go watch
the introduction again so with the basic chords I'm using an E major and a major
seven
and then addy sus2 that's for pot I said Paula is gonna
sound like this
yay
you
4 and 1/2 four and for Part B I would go with a a
major chord here and the second chord I would use would be a d6 call which look
sounds like this
and my final chord I'm gonna use normal a major chord because if you get a
better sense of that progression resolving itself so the Part B
progression sounds like this
to d4 yeah and that's it so hope you found that useful do subscribe if you
