Crushin' On You (Chorus)
Added 2020-12-17 15:27:28 +0000 UTCToday we will be getting funky. I give you my Phobos promise that learning this will be a rewarding experience.
The left hand is just 3 chords as described in the video. We're in the key of E minor and these chord names are: E minor 7, A minor 7, B minor 7. This is often called a minor i - iv - v progression. Note that on the E minor 7 chord, I play just a 7th fret barre and then hammer on fingers 2 and 3 after. This is a nice little chord enhancer.
Your right hand plays steady muted 16th notes, and the left hand drops onto the chords in the accented rhythm demonstrated. Muting is everything here - without it things will get very messy, very fast!
This is a fun one to play. I hope you have as much fun learning this as I had creating, recording, performing, playing, executing, bringing into existence, inventing, AND composing this guitar part.

This is exactly what I like about these lessons, the “how does it work” aspects. I’m not a musician by any stretch of the word, but it’s super fascinating nonetheless. A big thank you for that! Keep it coming, Phibbs!

2020-12-17 16:14:26 +0000 UTCThank you, teach! You always do provide a rewarding learning experience :) 7th chords, no wonder I like this one so much. I always need more practice switching between chords, so I'll have to give this one a try!
