00:00:05.500 --> 00:00:09.500
(Playing Aerosmith "Walk this way")

00:00:34.650 --> 00:00:36.110
Hi how ya doin'? Justin here

00:00:36.110 --> 00:00:38.160
In this lesson today we are going to be 
checking out

00:00:38.315 --> 00:00:40.318
"Walk This Way" by Aerosmith

00:00:40.338 --> 00:00:42.778
We are going to be looking at 
the main riff, as well as

00:00:42.778 --> 00:00:46.388
the riff in the verse. Because a lot of 
people seem to struggle with that one.

00:00:46.388 --> 00:00:49.978
Um, I've done quite a lot of research
making sure that I get it exactly right

00:00:49.978 --> 00:00:52.998
Um so let's get to it and check it out!

00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.119
Okay we're starting here with an open
"A" string (Play notes)

00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:02.229
First finger goes down in the first fret
of the third string

00:01:02.329 --> 00:01:05.119
Slides it up to the second fret of the
third string

00:01:06.976 --> 00:01:09.203
and then we play the second fret

00:01:09.203 --> 00:01:13.203
of the fourth string

00:01:14.233 --> 00:01:16.543
and then the low E second time through


00:01:23.993 --> 00:01:28.343
Second time
(Plays guitar)

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.930
we got a little here second finger
third fret of the thicker string

00:01:36.849 --> 00:01:40.979
flick off to first finger second fret
fourth string

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:41.349 --> 00:01:54.349
(Plays guitar)

00:01:54.871 --> 00:01:58.871
finishing off there that last time 
with a little "A" chord

00:01:58.871 --> 00:02:01.931
0 2 2

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:05.989
one time, nice and slow
all the way through. Here we go.

00:02:05.989 --> 00:02:07.669
3, 4

00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:33.160
(Plays guitar)

00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.160
Okay the picking for the riff

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:38.480
Down, Up, Down, Up

00:02:39.341 --> 00:02:43.290
Down, Up, Down Up, Down

00:02:44.570 --> 00:02:46.640
Down, Up Down Up

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:48.900
Down Up Down Up

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:50.610
Down Down

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.392
Full speed

00:02:52.472 --> 00:03:02.612
(Plays guitar)

00:03:05.002 --> 00:03:08.882
Okay here we go looking at the verse
riff for "Walk This Way."

00:03:08.882 --> 00:03:11.752
It's eh, based around kind of a 
"C" power chord

00:03:11.752 --> 00:03:15.802
We got out first finger sitting here
at the 8th fret of the thicker string

00:03:15.832 --> 00:03:19.042
and the third finger
on the tenth fret of the fifth string

00:03:19.042 --> 00:03:20.432
and they stay put for


00:03:20.432 --> 00:03:21.472
pretty much the whole thing

00:03:21.472 --> 00:03:24.102
so it turns out to be a little bit of
a little finger workout

00:03:24.102 --> 00:03:25.562
Uh, let me just play the riff for you


00:03:25.562 --> 00:03:26.562
first of all so you could see

00:03:26.562 --> 00:03:27.722
what's going on

00:03:27.732 --> 00:03:28.641
Sounds like this

00:03:28.641 --> 00:03:29.441
3, 4

00:03:29.456 --> 00:03:40.896
(Plays guitar)

00:03:41.046 --> 00:03:43.556
Truly quite specific,
it's kind of on the record

00:03:43.556 --> 00:03:45.966
you gotta really listen to it and get
the accent right

00:03:45.980 --> 00:03:47.870
so what notes are loud and 
what notes are quiet.

00:03:47.903 --> 00:03:50.393
I'm gonna show you what the notes are
but you're gonna have to listen

00:03:50.393 --> 00:03:52.173
to get that other info.

00:03:52.173 --> 00:03:53.403
So, what we got here is

00:03:53.468 --> 00:03:56.398
(Plays guitar)

00:03:56.414 --> 00:04:00.254
So first of all this is the root note of
the eight fret of the thicker string

00:04:00.254 --> 00:04:03.714
Three picks, so, Down Up Down Up

00:04:03.714 --> 00:04:07.154
and then that last note there is
the note "G", which is the

00:04:07.163 --> 00:04:08.923
third finger on the tenth fret

00:04:08.923 --> 00:04:10.313
(Plays guitar)

00:04:10.313 --> 00:04:12.693
Down, Up, Down, Up

00:04:12.693 --> 00:04:14.283
Up, Down, Flick

00:04:14.861 --> 00:04:20.861
So, Down, Up, Down, Up
Up, Down, Flick

00:04:20.861 --> 00:04:24.298
(Plays guitar)

00:04:24.338 --> 00:04:32.388
1 e & a 2 e & a
1 e & a 2 e & a

00:04:32.388 --> 00:04:34.392
I'm letting them all ring together
there of course

00:04:34.392 --> 00:04:36.524
But you want the
(plays guitar)

00:04:36.594 --> 00:04:39.054
Get that palm mute and it will
really help with your accenting.

00:04:39.054 --> 00:04:41.554
So, the first part
(plays guitar)

00:04:45.256 --> 00:04:47.936
The second part
(plays guitar) we play, first of all,

00:04:47.936 --> 00:04:49.786
the eighth down on the thicker string

00:04:49.786 --> 00:04:52.196
(Plays guitar)

00:04:52.196 --> 00:04:53.422
So we got here eight

00:04:53.422 --> 00:04:56.102
then little finger's going on the tenth
fret of the fourth string

00:04:56.102 --> 00:04:57.970
(Plays guitar)

00:04:57.970 --> 00:05:01.770
And then we're plucking the fifth string
Down, Up, Down

00:05:01.770 --> 00:05:03.850
(Plays guitar)

00:05:04.590 --> 00:05:08.590
Then little finger is jumping 
right up to the thirteenth fret

00:05:08.637 --> 00:05:09.637
(Plays guitar)

00:05:09.637 --> 00:05:12.517
and I can't tell if it's a flick off 
or not. I think it's just play,

00:05:12.517 --> 00:05:19.277
but thirteen, ten, twelve, flick off.
Definitely that last one's

00:05:19.297 --> 00:05:20.407
a flick off there

00:05:20.407 --> 00:05:23.000
(Plays guitar)

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:30.890
so, Down Up Down
Down Up Down Flick Off

00:05:30.890 --> 00:05:49.670
(Plays guitar)

00:05:49.784 --> 00:05:51.504
Okay joining the two
together

00:05:51.504 --> 00:06:07.804
(Plays guitar)

00:06:07.814 --> 00:06:10.054
up to speed with a little bit of palm
muting

00:06:25.742 --> 00:06:27.592
Just really quickly
the one little bit that

00:06:27.592 --> 00:06:29.452
I haven't shown you that'll 
kinda get you pretty much

00:06:29.452 --> 00:06:31.642
through the whole tune if I do
is the chorus

00:06:31.642 --> 00:06:36.352
which is a "C" power chord
(plays chord)

00:06:36.352 --> 00:06:39.402
and this little riff here
which is nothing, nothing

00:06:39.402 --> 00:06:42.772
seven, eight, ten
and then nothing

00:06:42.802 --> 00:06:44.682
on the thinner string

00:06:44.682 --> 00:06:48.152
(Plays guitar)

00:06:48.152 --> 00:06:49.572
then to a "F" power chord

00:06:49.572 --> 00:06:52.162
(Plays guitar)

00:06:52.162 --> 00:06:57.352
and then this is on the thinner 3 strings
ten, ten, eleven

00:06:57.352 --> 00:07:01.962
(Plays guitar)

00:07:02.792 --> 00:07:08.092
um, and with that you've probably 
got most of the rhythm parts anyway

00:07:08.092 --> 00:07:10.842
Um there's so great solos
to transcribe in as well

00:07:10.842 --> 00:07:11.298
a lot to be learned

00:07:11.298 --> 00:07:13.828
it's a difficult tune to play,
really well, this one

00:07:13.828 --> 00:07:15.598
kind of an easy one to play badly
if you like

00:07:15.598 --> 00:07:18.608
but particularly that verse riff
it takes a little bit of practice

00:07:18.608 --> 00:07:21.048
to get it kinda right in the pocket.
Don't really that I've got it

00:07:21.048 --> 00:07:22.738
in the pocket yet, but i'm working on it.

00:07:22.738 --> 00:07:25.448
So um, hope you've had fun with that
and I'll see you for another

00:07:25.448 --> 00:07:28.768
riff next week!
See you later, Bye bye.
