Transcripts

1. Welcome: Hello, my name is Gabri Felix in Merry Christmas, this course about the best holiday of the year, and I will teach you four songs about Christmas. Four very nice songs with tabuture and old step by step that you need to have fun. We're going to talk about the rhythm part, the course fingers position, the melods, and the tricks to play these amazing songs. Since this course was developed for beginners musician, you're going to have a complimentary material that's going to be very helpful and refine port to talk. Those lessons are greats to play on their risky or on a latter guitar. So are you ready? Let's have fun. Let's go. 2. Jingle bell: All the songs that you're going to learn in this course, you can play with P or with your fingers. And on the acoustic or a La. Guitar, it's the same or the same mellow, the same step by step. The song starting open string, we have fret number four Openstr. In this case I played this four Opentringtr number three string. Okay, Next part, you play Opentr. You need to pick this very fast. Remember you can use your pick. Play just with your fingers. Next part, 42. You open string one more time and come back to Fred. Number two is almost the same thing as the first part, but as you can see we have a different ending. Next part, you play 25 finger number four, okay? Number four to four, with a very nice vibrato. It's going to be easier if you play the vibrato with this spring finger. Next part, you have a slide. So you play like this, okay? You pick string number three. Fret number four in. Play this slide until Fred number seven, okay? Play the 71 more time, 54. Okay? This last part is everything on the string number three. You come back to the top of the song, okay? It's exactly the same thing. Come back to the 25, this line one more time, but this time you play more seven, right? So three times 975 to. Okay. Be careful with this part. Not easy. All right? And the next part is you have this kind of slide slide. We have the zero open string, but kind of open string proposition. You can play the frag number four and slide two, F number seven. And you have the last part of this film that is 444444. Okay? This part is really nice, right? So be careful because it looks easy, but it's not too easy. You're going to play three times threat number four, string number 3123. And the third time you played with this vibrato. Repeat this try and you have this slide four to seven openstring. You have one more slide, threat number four, okay? So we're going to play one more time. Next part, you go to the C court and you play this 56 times, all right? This 56 times and 45 times. After this part, you played this four to four to seven, okay? As you can see, everything on this part is on the string number three. You come back and play, that's exactly the same thing and we have this different ending, but really similar. Check this out. As you can see, we don't have this latter. We play just the 77 twice. When we go the acorde, last note is going to be. 52 open string. As you can see, the song is very nice and you can improvise your finger, but avoid play everything with you, one single finger, so it's not going to be nice if you play like this. Try to move your fings around. Use finger number 231.4. Gonna be easier and faster. Jingle Bell. Let's learn the chords. The first part is, or this type of courts really coming rocking road blues and pop music. In this version I use this chord. You just need to memorize this chord shape. You're going to repeat this every single time, but in different positions. I think this session is going to be very easy. You play four times this or this is the first next part you play every one string, string number six, okay? But this time you play just half of our bar. So just try you have power chord, frag number seven on string number five. A power cord. Frag number five on string number six. And finally D. Okay, that's one string down. As you can see, it's really simple. Just work on strings number 5.6 and finally finish this first session. At the end, you really start this song and you're going to play this G chord several, not necessary to count. Just use the pouting technique in play like this. As you can see, this palmuting techniques sound really different, isn't it? So you need to put this part of your hand on your tark play like have metal. Be careful because if you mute everything, you cannot recognize the notes. So be careful about that. If you want to mute, you put your hands the string. But if you don't want to new out, put more to the bridge part. You need to find a balance between. Okay, so we are going to repeat this several, several times. It's everything picking down K. Remember about this little detail, Keep strumming. And C, D. C is frag number three on string number five, and D is frag number five on string number five. Let me come back to, as you can see, this sounds very rock and row and blues, isn't it? You just need to use the chords 14.5 but be careful because at the end of the song we play that first part, that you have the different freedom. As you can see, you have this chord and makes everything different as well, right? But you play a little bit fast. Instead of playing the entire ball, you have this one. 3. Silent night: So the first part, you're going to play everything on string number two. Open string, fret number two, V open string one more time and finish number one, B. Okay. You can play with your finger number one with your finger number two, but when you go to the fret number one, keep moving the finger number one. Okay? Yeah. You can play with pick or pick. It is up to you. Okay. The second part is exactly the same thing, so you're going to repeat this twice. Next part you go to B seven. In this case you play 24. This frat number two is on string number one, okay? Be careful about that. After number four, with a very nice vibrato, you play open string Epi string, and finish with this pi string. It's going to be nice if both strings sound simultaneously like this. Next part you go chord. So you play open string, you come back with your finger number one. Next part is frag number four on string number two. In this case, when you have 4.2 or 2.4 it's going to be easier if you play with your finger number 1.3 Okay, remember about this shortcut. Next part, you go to the chord in play. Open string fred, number two, open string in number one. Once again you kind of come back to the top of the son. Right. Next part you go to a chord. So you play to open string for and Cho one more time. Okay? It's exactly the same thing as we play a few boards before. In this Opentringt number two, Opentringd number one, you can play with this vibrato or not. Okay? It's up to you when I have the opportunity to fit some kind of techniques such as vibrato. I prefer to play like this just because it sounds much better than if you play like this. Okay, you stay four temples in frat number one. So let's add something new, right, as a vibrato. Next part, you go to seven in play. Two to five, right? This part, please play with your finger number one in four, Okay? It's going to be a little bit difficult because you're pink finger, but if you pre, you're going to play this correctly, two to five sharp pink finger. Come back to two, everything on string number one, framber four, string number two. This time I play with my ring finger, open string frat number four. Okay. The last parts a little bit fast. So you play open string, open string F, number one. Next part, you play string number two, open framber 24 and finish. In this framber two notes, all the chord it's going to be seven notes. So all the seven notes will be fast. So pay tention if you prefer to use your finger number 11.2 when you go to the Core Kate part of the B core, it's going to be easier. Let's learn the chords and then I'm going to explain the. In the first chord is major chord. You can pick everything, okay, All the strings. And you're going to play most of the chords on the top of your instrument. Second chord is a seventh chord. Seven, Little bit difficult because you have a bar right here, a bar. Use your pin number 1.2 the Fus number 3.4 You play number 4.4 number four, right? It's a very beautiful chord. You have a major chord as well, so just three fingers on the top of your instrument. Strings number 543 to one. Be careful, do not pick string number six. Okay? The songs very easy. And we just have three chords, but we have different rhythm. And we are going to play this during the entire song. Okay, This is bass chord. What do I mean with this? Bass is when I play, the lowest note in the chord is when I play the other parts of my chord you need to pick up, okay, like this, okay? Or if you are playing with your fingers, you can play the bass, the lowest nose with your thump finger and the rest with your three fingers. Four. Okay, It's going to sound very nice as well. And you need to play this rhythm during the internal song to the B A cord and come back to you, okay? But of course, be careful with the changes and the sequence. That's why it's important to come back to the top of the video and see the Court see the repetitions. It's not going to be easy if I talk to you to memorize eight times, two times. It's not a test, it's within to memorize. To come back to the top of this lesson and watch me play the entire song with the temperature, it's going to be easier to memorize and analyze everything. 4. Twelve Days of Christmas: This melod's almost a glascow. Music So we start bringing in fret number three and play three times frat number three on string number 5.4 So you can play for F number one to three, it's up to you. Okay. I prefer with my finger number two just because I can play this next part three with my finger number one and Okay. It's going to be easier. Next part you play frat number 2.3 on string number three. But before you play open string, open string, one more time goes to frat number three. Next part you play, you have this 1.3 with my finger number 1.3 on string number two. I play with my finger number three once again or finger number two. This frag number three on string number 323, open string and finish Fra number three on string number four. The next part, you'll play the F number 34 times on the string number 53, times on the string number 43. Okay? Be careful about that. Next part is on string number three, open string three, open string one more time and you go to frat number one on the string number two, come back to string number three and play open F number 23 to three other parts of our song we're going to play on the top of the instrument. Next part is 1323 open string. Come back to one open string 323 and be careful with this part is 1323 open string three. Okay, remember about my finger pattern. I think it's going to be easier if you use this 1321 to open string two and in then you played this three twice to come back to the top and play the loop. So we have C major chord, three fingers number 12.3, okay? Very big Sky. Be careful, do not play string number six. Do pick string number six. Next chord you can play, but song you will need to play pink finger. So use a finger number three, if you prefer, you can use the pink finger. But it's going to be a little bit weird, isn't it? And then you're going to have Sal cord, mas cord can play like this. This is up to you. This is with the bar core. And this is doubt just three notes. Finger number one, frat number one, finger number two, frat number two, and finger number three, ring finger frat number three. The rhythm is a little bit trick. Check this out. You need to play the two lowest notes and the highest notes like this. Fine isn't it? If you play with your fingers, just play the bass, the ju los notes with the ten fingers and the other notes with your three or four fingers. You're going to repeat this pattern in C 3 bars and then go to gonna repeat this trice and play C. 5. We wish you a merry christmas + thanks: Well, it's really nice to start the inter, right here, open string, open string frat number three. And then we play frat number three on string number one, open string T on string number three, number two, open string. And sports a little bit difficult. So we can play like this. It's going to sound really nice if you let the notes and then you have the melody. This is the first part. As you can see, I use my finger number 13 and middle finger 11310 to two. Okay. Next part is Frank number 23 times and go to Frank number three. We have this part that's a little bit fast. Play with your finger number three. It's going to be a very nice exercise if you are playing with pi. Okay? You play this open string, Frank. Number 31, open string in open string wise. Next part is string number one open. We repeat the same reading pattern, right? But not a string open front number three in one. The next part's going to be open, open and finalize. You have the three notes. Three open string in one, then you come back to the top. A different rhythm in pattern. Okay? So it's another, it's the part of the song, right? It's a little bit easier because you just have one open string in number two, right? Then when you go to chord, you play this open string F number three. And open string, you play one open string once again, but this time on the string number three. And finalize, you come back to the C major chord and play the main melody once again. We already learned this part, isn't it? And it's very important to play your finger number 13.2 Next part, we keep playing this chord. We play this open string twice. This ending is a little bit different. We have this frag number two, open string. Frag number one, and finally we finalize the melody. Now time to talk about the chords and I'm going to explain all the chords, then I'm going to explain the radium. The first one is major chords, so fingers number 12.3 okay? And be careful, do not pick string number six, okay? Just 5432 in one. The next chord is G major chord, so you can pick everything. I have a shortcut for you. Use your fingers. Number 3.4, ring finger. Pick finger first, okay? When you're going to change the chord, thing is going to be easier if you play these two finger first. Because they work, you get all right. Okay, this part is very nice. The next chord is minor, so you're going to pick 41. As you can see, my ring finger keeping the same fret on the same string, string number two, frat number three, and my index finger, string number one, frat number one, and middle finger, frat number two on string number three. All right, we're going to play like this. This is core number three. The next chord is going to be a bar chord chord part right here, finger number 34 in the Frat number three. And middle finger in the F number two. All right, Sued. The next squared is D, but with the base in sh going to play like this. Finger number one. Shuo on string number six. Don't worry about the string number five, because the D is pmutedrr Finger number one is going to mute this strength. Then you're going to have the middle finger frat number two on string number three, ring finger number two. String number two or string number four is supposed to be played open. All right? It's a easy chord, it's not a problem at all. The next chord, it's minor chord. So finger number one in two, okay? In the Frat number two. And you can pick everything. Strsright Last chord, we're going to have a minus is finger number 132. And in this case you don't pick string number six. Just 5,432.1 All right, so let's talk about the reading. Rhythm is really simple. You just need to play who wants each chord, okay? The mystery is not necessary to memorize any kind of pattern with your right hand, right, or finger pattern, okay? It's a very nice and easy rhythm. But remember about the bars. Usually we have the bar that the space that we put our chords or notes and songs, okay? In each bar we can put four chords, okay? So when you have one simple chord in one board, you just need to strum one in play in count 123.4 okay? Do not lose the county. It's import. Okay, So now it's time to go back to the top of the song and play with me after of course, you memorize all these chords. All right. This song is very nice. Now it's time to have fun. This is the last lesson of our course. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy all this. Step by step, you can check my profile on the platform. I have very nice course to help you watch play on the cus or more or less guitar. I have course about blues, jazz, rhythm chords, how to develop speed and acurson instrument.
