hp crazy guitar academy with a free or a premium membership account and also share my channel to everybody who loves guitar so how does this thing work or sound i just learned it it's um that soccer is harder to play than i thought but i'm gonna and it's totally array well i'm gonna play the main riff that you recognize it [Music] that's that one okay so there are the main problem on this song is it's totally arranged it's from a till set every note has to be there where it should be more or less so i i wrote that the whole thing for you guys well it was quite a well it sounds so hard it's just three parts but in this tutorial i'm just gonna show you the parts uh which are played the main riff the guitar solo with which is unison with the other guitar and the other two the other two parts so let's get started um yeah but you you need to have your rhythm skills a little bit together but otherwise you cannot deal with this it's basically for me it's a side reading exercise because i could not keep the whole thing i need to do side reading here yeah but rhythm expertise would be something which is of use but i'm going to show in a way that you still are able to follow and just try to learn it by ear so let's get started okay guys as i said the whole tune is arranged through um so um and there are several versions i'm gonna talk about their life version the one where they're hanging in the garden where the band is in the garden and but the main parts are uh there in all versions and there are also alternative ways of playing it so you have to find yourself which which ways you want to do it but the main parts works the same for everybody the thing is based on it's in b minor [Applause] okay so one thing is which happens of the you have to cut you if you want to play this thing you have to count one two three four and one two [Music] three so um in the beginning is just it's the same that figure comes after you one two three four and one two three four and then comes the next difficulties the second time it's on four end one two three four and then it goes to this chord seven seven so we have the power chord five seven two seven nine and then this figure okay now let's check out the main riff it's like this [Music] it starts on four end one two three four and then you slide up and attack once again so four and one and then two dead notes [Applause] and there we go here seven seven two nine nine back to seven seven [Music] that's the main riff slide up that's the main thing slide up then two dead notes and and then back to here that is played four times but the main difficulty is played really fast it's it's really fast so we need to have it together that is played four times then comes the middle part is with offbeat so it starts with one and two and three and three and this one here comes on one sixty note after four one two [Music] [Applause] and this is played four times and then comes [Applause] just like this and then the lyric starts and that's not much to play but the rhythm is essential i checked the live version as the garden version is playing it here but you could also play two but he's playing it here third second fourth fret [Music] so and it comes from two and one tell you that again it comes on two ends of one two and three four one two and three four always one two three four one two and three four one two and three four two three and so on okay um let me try and i need my glasses now to play this thing with side treating uh try gonna try to play the first page somehow okay one two [Music] one two three [Music] and then you wait lyrics start one two three four one two three four one two and three four one two and three four one two three four one two three four now comes the second page as i said the the hardest part here is um to keep the arrangement you need to learn this thing by heart probably with sight reading it's if you can do i can do side reading it works but um since there are three pages they're stuck together i need to move the page here see yeah okay so now let's go to page two the same thing comes again as the intro now that's basically what happened that whole thing repeats itself once till the lyrics and then comes kind of an interlude that's [Music] this one here fairly easy to play here seven seven [Music] seven two nine seven and then we are in the pentatonix [Music] okay [Music] and it's off beats that means you play six he knows jacket checkered checker checker and they're always the offi see and that comes in several rows and the part is to play fast [Music] so that's played four times [Music] yeah with uh pauses in between and then comes the final solo which is unizon as well everything is only sewn so as i said it's an enough full arrangement and you need to know this this thing by heart now comes a solo [Music] and the live version make this tapping here at the end body home you can't that's too hard for you just skip that okay now um it's played in the let me switch a little bit nearer for the solo because the rest was easy to understand it was more to see the whole movement but now with the solo b minor pentatonic starting in the fifth so five seven five [Music] you have to do the hammer on pull off [Music] now you move up here seven [Music] hey maron same thing again [Music] and now comes in 60 notes hemorrhoids 10 11 12 you played twice move up to 15 so [Music] there you can do this tapping if you want if not you just leave it yeah on temp 115 this soccer is not so easy i hope i can do it i'm serious i just learned the song now with sight reading [Music] oops [Music] that's it yeah and then comes the long pause and then uh comes the on the live version comes again the the lyrics with with the chord here on two and one two and then it finishes on yeah guys that was blackberry by ram jam um the garden version well the tabs which i wrote for you here are the garden version you know they're available in the hp crazy guitar academy if you want them but um as i already showed you the stuff here um these are the main parts and you need to check the version of your choice and where this the specific parts are coming and there are little variations on when you have which was sometimes omega [Music] this tougher or stuff like this comes and whoa what's that here oh my god something dropped out of miss dr pink how could this ever happen i have to go to dr pink doctor yo yeah that's basically what you can do and listen to it play it start slow and the counting is a really essential thing on the whole part here yo um yo one more to say about this not much more if you love my channel please subscribe if share to your friends if you want to have those become a
