Alright guys jack here jbf music and guitar lessons. What I've got for you today is another
reaction sort of analysis video based on Alip Bata this time he's covering Europe and the
final countdown
what's he gonna do who knows? There's only one way to find out so yeah let's get to it
harmonizing it, nice
get the bass movement in perfectly separating the voices so you can really hear that there's
a lot of distance between the intervals [Music] almost like a classical guitar piece [Music]
using his pinky as kind of snare drum. The songs is building and progressing. You'll
notice he's got a ‘capo’ through the second fret [Music] song originally is an F sharp
minor it's probably done that to make it easier to transcribe
doing the gallop as well
[Music] again, the inflections of the voice of the guitar as well making it quite vocal
And there backing vocal as well, he put that in to his arrangement
[Music] so by “Harmony” I mean he's taking the main Melody like there and added in extra
notes from the underlying chord
to make it pop more it's not a bit fuller while still working actual song [Music] so
here you can see the little E string the capital was shifted up to an F sharp
[Music] just means as difficult as it is to work these things out you can play to the
original but have it the same key so a wee bit less fiddling about in terms of arrangement
[Music] quite nasty stretches here as well [Music] I can't wait to see what he's going
to do for the solo [Music] It’s a cracking Solo in this as well really great [Music]
it's a harmonic coming up? He never resists an opportunity for a harmonic never misses
them
nice!
Superb
Tasty
Rather than playing it over two strings (like the original solo) he’s arpeggiating it
(over 3 strings)
[Music] [Laughter] [Music]
So it fits in with style and the notes can ring into each other [Music] there's a little
bend at the end that does that does it with his family bar it's at the very end of the
solo [Music] oh man, that's so cool [Music] you can hear the lower note kind of helping
to add that movement so the last section which is a bit more sparse feels like it's gone
somewhere, like when he's gone to here and adding in the bass note [Music] [Laughter]
[Music] Ahh, superb
I love that tune it's a bit of a guilty pleasure kind of classic rock tune for me, a superb
arrangement
so what I'd like to break down is this kind of part just after the solo so starting from
here [Music]
lovely little embellishments, uh, slide okay so I'm gonna take the guitar I'm gonna break
that down first thing to mention is while I spotted the couple what I didn't take into
account is he's retuned his guitar so without the capital the strings are tuned to a d g
c g b d so tune it to that, “capo” on the second fret to get this lovely [music]
sort of sound from it
play the sixth string let that drone simultaneously then play this ninth fret on the first string
and the eighth fret of the second string bar your finger across the seventh string and
pull those off and pick the eight and the nine again so you have [Music] next we're
gonna slide into the next chord so you want to have the ninth fret on the third string
and the eighth fret of the second string the play those with these two fingers the same
time play the fourth string with our thumb so you get these all together so far [Music]
next you want to take this finger your third finger put on the tenth fret on the sixth
string
then we've got a trill up here [Music] wonderful so we've got this 14th fret on the first string
play that at the same time as the 13th fret on the second string pull them both off to
the 12th fret, play two again; so the 13 and the 14 together; and do a trill going from
that 12th fret- so hammer onto these and pull off let's slide down to the 10th fret so [Music]
from the top [Music]
[Music] next we go all the way down to here so you have the open fifth string and the
second fret on the fourth string
very similar to before we've got that 14 on the first string and the 13 on the second
string and pulling off both the 12th fret back up to the 13th of the 14th down to the
ninth fret on the third string and the tenth fret on the second was together slide up very
quickly and back down so you get this. A bit slower [Music] so that part would be [Music]
play the open 4th string and then we've got this really nice ascending pattern I'll recap
what we've done so far [Music]
so I think Alip Ba Ta fingers differently from how I do, but the way I'm playing this
is playing the 10th fret the second string, eighth, tenth fret again on the 2nd string
but also play the eighth fret on the fifth string so you have
that eighth fret again by itself or the second string then we're down to the fourth fret
where we're gonna play the fifth string and the first string together
so you have [Music] stretch all the way up to the fifth fret of the first string and
then what we have is the fourth fret the fourth string the fifth fret on the first string,
that last part [Music]
let's go through the whole thing from the start [Music]
