WEBVTT 00:00:44.354 --> 00:00:47.996 Hey, how're you doin? Justin here. In this lesson today, 00:00:47.996 --> 00:00:51.145 we're checking out "Hysteria" by Muse. 00:00:51.145 --> 00:00:53.582 That little riff that I just played there was actually the bass riff, 00:00:53.582 --> 00:00:55.891 it's not really the guitar riff. 00:00:55.891 --> 00:00:57.461 But I'm going to show it to you anyway because 00:00:57.461 --> 00:01:00.447 it sounds pretty cool. So we're going to check out that little riff first. NOTE Paragraph 00:01:00.447 --> 00:01:02.607 Then we're going to check out the actual kind of main 00:01:02.607 --> 00:01:05.207 melody part that he plays, check out the chords in the chorus 00:01:05.207 --> 00:01:07.253 and I'll show you the solo as well, for good measure. 00:01:07.253 --> 00:01:11.351 Because it's a pretty funky little solo. So, without any further ado, 00:01:11.351 --> 00:01:14.387 let's get stuck in and check out that first riff. 00:01:14.387 --> 00:01:27.540 . . . 00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:30.330 Okay, nice and slowly, let's check it out. 00:01:30.330 --> 00:01:39.749 . . . 00:01:39.749 --> 00:01:41.777 There, this is obviously the tenth fret 00:01:41.777 --> 00:01:44.910 . . . 00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:45.959 Ten to twelve 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:46.537 . . . 00:01:46.537 --> 00:01:47.356 Open again 00:01:47.356 --> 00:01:48.176 . . . 00:01:48.176 --> 00:01:48.830 Ten 00:01:48.830 --> 00:01:49.330 . . . 00:01:49.330 --> 00:01:50.322 Open 00:01:50.322 --> 00:01:51.115 . . . 00:01:51.115 --> 00:01:52.107 Seven 00:01:52.107 --> 00:01:53.315 . . . 00:01:53.315 --> 00:01:56.968 open again, then we've got this eight, eight, seven, five, seven 00:01:56.968 --> 00:02:05.567 . . . 00:02:05.567 --> 00:02:08.631 That's the first bar. Definitely worth practicing that bit by itself. 00:02:08.631 --> 00:02:11.215 Then we're onto the next one. We've got now an E pedal 00:02:11.215 --> 00:02:11.715 . . . 00:02:11.715 --> 00:02:12.774 an open E 00:02:12.774 --> 00:02:17.614 . . . 00:02:17.614 --> 00:02:18.964 which is all on the thickest string, 00:02:18.964 --> 00:02:21.592 except for the last note there, the note A up at the twelfth fret 00:02:21.592 --> 00:02:26.845 . . . 00:02:26.845 --> 00:02:28.498 This is obviously the tenth here 00:02:28.498 --> 00:02:31.267 . . . 00:02:31.267 --> 00:02:33.382 similar sort of feel to the other one 00:02:33.382 --> 00:02:39.946 . . . 00:02:39.946 --> 00:02:42.116 the twelfth and fifteenth fret there 00:02:42.116 --> 00:02:45.930 . . . 00:02:45.930 --> 00:02:47.779 Now we're up to the D string 00:02:47.779 --> 00:03:09.113 . . . 00:03:09.113 --> 00:03:11.622 Sometimes I'm changing what finger I play that note with, 00:03:11.622 --> 00:03:15.192 it doesn't really matter. And then we finish the same as we start. 00:03:15.192 --> 00:03:18.967 . . . 00:03:18.967 --> 00:03:21.183 Except the first note of that's missing actually. 00:03:21.183 --> 00:03:26.683 . . . 00:03:26.683 --> 00:03:28.284 So we're having this 00:03:28.284 --> 00:03:31.604 . . . 00:03:31.604 --> 00:03:35.058 It's kind of this here is the first beat of the next bar 00:03:35.058 --> 00:03:36.578 . . . 00:03:36.578 --> 00:03:38.528 because it's an octave above the A anyway. 00:03:38.528 --> 00:03:49.689 . . . 00:03:49.689 --> 00:03:53.018 When it comes to the main guitar riff, it's really important that you make sure 00:03:53.018 --> 00:03:55.460 that you get your muting good with both hands. 00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:56.816 First of all, when you're playing the octave 00:03:56.816 --> 00:03:57.880 . . . 00:03:57.880 --> 00:04:00.557 you should be able to strum all of the notes, but all of 00:04:00.557 --> 00:04:05.126 the notes are muted, except the two that you want. 00:04:05.126 --> 00:04:06.952 . . . 00:04:06.952 --> 00:04:09.891 And you're going to use that down, down, up, down, down, up pattern. 00:04:09.891 --> 00:04:11.899 . . . 00:04:11.899 --> 00:04:15.422 Then mute all of the strings with the outside of your palm here, 00:04:15.422 --> 00:04:17.525 sists on the strings to keep them all quiet 00:04:17.525 --> 00:04:19.495 . . . 00:04:19.495 --> 00:04:21.946 and then you're going to do a little bend here at the twelfth fret 00:04:21.946 --> 00:04:24.036 . . . 00:04:24.036 --> 00:04:26.299 to the tenth fret. So it's semitone bend 00:04:26.299 --> 00:04:28.618 . . . 00:04:28.618 --> 00:04:30.416 and down to the tenth fret. 00:04:30.416 --> 00:04:33.299 Now, that pattern just moves down now, so twelve 00:04:33.299 --> 00:04:37.829 . . . 00:04:37.829 --> 00:04:39.834 that's first finger on the eleventh fret 00:04:39.834 --> 00:04:41.038 . . . 00:04:41.038 --> 00:04:42.533 first finger on the eighth fret 00:04:42.533 --> 00:04:48.906 . . . 00:04:48.906 --> 00:04:51.787 last time, the bend is going up and down a couple of times. 00:04:51.787 --> 00:04:54.181 . . . 00:04:54.181 --> 00:04:55.159 Same again 00:04:55.159 --> 00:05:10.831 . . . 00:05:10.831 --> 00:05:12.684 Then he's just hitting an open A string 00:05:12.684 --> 00:05:13.751 . . . 00:05:13.751 --> 00:05:16.205 and the seventh fret of the fourth string 00:05:16.205 --> 00:05:17.486 . . . 00:05:17.486 --> 00:05:20.154 octaves of the eighth. Then, the guitar is quiet. 00:05:20.154 --> 00:05:22.288 All of the way through the verse, comes in with 00:05:22.288 --> 00:05:24.117 . . . 00:05:24.117 --> 00:05:24.978 big muted hits. 00:05:24.978 --> 00:05:27.490 So grabbing the whole fingerboard with your fingers 00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:29.126 . . . 00:05:29.126 --> 00:05:30.133 and hitting 00:05:30.133 --> 00:05:33.123 . . . 00:05:33.123 --> 00:05:37.477 then we're into the chorus. Now, the chorus, the chords are power chords. 00:05:37.477 --> 00:05:38.136 C 00:05:38.136 --> 00:05:39.498 . . . 00:05:39.498 --> 00:05:40.448 G 00:05:40.448 --> 00:05:42.432 . . . 00:05:42.432 --> 00:05:42.932 D 00:05:42.932 --> 00:05:44.931 . . . 00:05:44.931 --> 00:05:45.745 and A 00:05:45.745 --> 00:05:59.224 . . . 00:05:59.224 --> 00:06:01.683 And it's kind of strummed unusually for power chords 00:06:01.683 --> 00:06:05.129 if you just check out the strumming hand now for a second, here it is 00:06:05.129 --> 00:06:17.582 . . . 00:06:17.582 --> 00:06:20.632 Now, I do a little trick here as well, which you might like, 00:06:20.632 --> 00:06:23.141 where I'm playing a C chord. Now this is, and I don't think what 00:06:23.141 --> 00:06:25.508 Matt Bellamy is playing on the record but it sounds pretty, 00:06:25.508 --> 00:06:28.165 sounds like it. I think maybe it's a bass or a synthesiser 00:06:28.165 --> 00:06:29.624 or something, but I go 00:06:29.624 --> 00:06:33.373 . . . 00:06:33.373 --> 00:06:34.367 I put a little 00:06:34.367 --> 00:06:37.592 . . . 00:06:37.592 --> 00:06:39.384 a bend in from the second fret 00:06:39.384 --> 00:06:40.873 . . . 00:06:40.873 --> 00:06:42.334 and then up to the third 00:06:42.334 --> 00:07:04.404 . . . 00:07:04.404 --> 00:07:07.106 And finishing with a little riff, same as the bass one 00:07:07.106 --> 00:07:12.298 . . . 00:07:12.298 --> 00:07:15.338 which is of course the one with the E pedal the we learned already. 00:07:15.338 --> 00:07:21.610 . . . 00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:23.746 And then it's back into that octaves thing. 00:07:23.746 --> 00:07:27.181 Then the guitar goes quiet, then it plays a chorus. Then it plays the little riff again and then, 00:07:27.181 --> 00:07:29.695 we're into the solo! 00:07:29.695 --> 00:07:33.102 I'm going to do the solo in two halves. The first half looks like this: 00:07:33.102 --> 00:07:45.995 . . . 00:07:45.995 --> 00:07:49.820 Okay, let's go through that now, just really nice and slowly. 00:07:49.820 --> 00:07:51.268 Got here fourteen and twelve 00:07:51.268 --> 00:08:13.941 . . . 00:08:13.941 --> 00:08:17.721 Picking is alternate throughout. I'm not going to go through all of the frets with you. 00:08:17.721 --> 00:08:19.420 I'm sure there's plenty of tabs around for this 00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:21.483 and you can probably see it anyway. 00:08:21.483 --> 00:08:22.844 That's, we've got this nice little run 00:08:22.844 --> 00:08:27.647 . . . 00:08:27.647 --> 00:08:30.137 Second part of the solo is based on arpeggio's. 00:08:30.137 --> 00:08:52.891 . . . 00:08:52.891 --> 00:08:55.737 Hope you enjoyed the look at Hysteria by Muse. 00:08:55.737 --> 00:08:59.361 Fantastic rock tune and if you're playing in a band or getting a band together, 00:08:59.361 --> 00:09:01.149 it's a really, really great fun one to play. 00:09:01.149 --> 00:09:05.086 Your bass player will love you for it. If you can play, and he'll hate you for it 00:09:05.086 --> 00:09:08.224 if you can't. Matt Bellamy's guitar playing is most awesome 00:09:08.224 --> 00:09:11.347 and in this tune, there's loads and loads of cool things to learn. 00:09:11.347 --> 00:09:14.178 I hope I didn't go too fast through the solo. 00:09:14.178 --> 00:09:16.149 There's going to be plenty of tabs around. If not, just make 00:09:16.149 --> 00:09:19.188 your own tab really slowly by watching the video. 00:09:19.188 --> 00:09:22.612 It's not too difficult. Make sure that you get your alternate 00:09:22.612 --> 00:09:26.156 picking all of the way through this tune. All of those fast things are all alternate. 00:09:26.156 --> 00:09:30.309 Continuously alternate, you know, down-up picking, whatever. 00:09:30.309 --> 00:09:33.883 Making sure that you pick down on the beat of course. 00:09:33.883 --> 00:09:37.983 Yeah, lots of good fun. Hope you enjoyed that. Back for plenty more guitar lessons soon. 00:09:37.983 --> 00:09:39.911 If you get stuck on any of this, check out the forum. 00:09:39.911 --> 00:09:42.686 There'll be plenty of people to help. And I'll put also, 00:09:42.686 --> 00:09:45.696 some additional notes that'll help you play the tune on my website. 00:09:45.696 --> 00:09:49.293 Take care of yourselves and I'll see you some time real soon. Bye bye!
