Lesson 32 Tuesday 13th August 2013

This lesson we started off by looking at some small riff that we could practice on my electric guitar.

The teacher come up with the riff which comes one minute 30 into the Oasis song "I'm Outta Time"

This riff has some bending in it.

I had a go of this and I found that I was not bending the strings up far enough. Even though this looks like a small easy rift It has taken me some time to get the structure right and the bending. After awhile there was some sort of semblance to the songs version.

I next looked at the song that my Mrs wanted me to play which was the Wet Wet Wet version of "Love Is All Around".

The rhythm is a simple one and there is two versions of the chords.

There is the version on Capo Three which goes G for one Bar then A minor for the next bar then C for another bar and finally D for the last bar. This carries on like this till the chorus.

I had a go of this and at first I could not surprising enough get the rhythm correct. I could get the rhythm eventually but the chords do not flow together yet.




There is a second more tougher version which is played on capo one. This time it is A for a bar then to Bm which is a bar chord which is very difficult to do for a bar.

Next it is D for a bar and then E for the final bar. Then repeat this until you get to the chorus.

The hardest part is the bar chord and at this stage I have no idea how I am going to move from the A chord to this bar chord.

The teacher showed me how it is done and the way he just eases into it is not coming to me.

I did not think it would it will take much time and practice to get this to work I think.
