Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.25,0:00:09.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi, how're you doing ? Justin here.\NIn this little video today, we're
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.11,0:00:12.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to be checking out the names of the open strings,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.30,0:00:16.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,i.e. what their note name is, for each one of these open
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.67,0:00:19.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,friends. because eventually, we need to learn what the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.03,0:00:21.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,notes are all over the guitar and we're going to start with
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.46,0:00:22.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these open strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.90,0:00:25.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So first of all, we need to create a little bit of space over
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.70,0:00:28.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here, for me to stick a little neck diagram up, so if I just
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.50,0:00:33.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of lean over . Okay, about now, {\i1}ping{\i0}, up comes
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.74,0:00:39.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this little neck diagram and you'll see there, \NE A D G B E.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.79,0:00:42.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And these are the names of the open strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.82,0:00:46.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I've just done is name them \Nfrom the thickest string.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.16,0:00:50.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See, if I play it at the same time now, \Nwe've got E
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.07,0:00:52.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.17,0:00:54.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,D
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.22,0:00:56.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,G
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.24,0:00:57.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,B
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.85,0:01:00.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and E again.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.37,0:01:04.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course noticing now that the two outside \Nstrings are both E's
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.36,0:01:06.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is why somethimes I call it the fat string or the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.65,0:01:10.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thick string and the skinny string or the thin string because
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.49,0:01:13.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can't both call it the E string 'cause they're both E strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.22,0:01:16.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the thing that's going to really help you remember the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.02,0:01:19.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,names of the open strings is to make up a funny little rhyme
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.60,0:01:22.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the one that I used when I was groing up, was
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.03,0:01:26.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Easter Bunny Gets Drunk After Easter, which starts with the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.29,0:01:32.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thin string: Easter Bunny Gets Drunk After Easter.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.60,0:01:34.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, this one for me if kind of funny, the idea of the easter
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.100,0:01:37.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bunny going around, delivering eggs to all of the bad kids,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.73,0:01:40.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being a bit upset about it, going back to his little burrow and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.42,0:01:43.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knocking off a bottle of Jack Daniels. I think it's kind of fun.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.26,0:01:45.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So therefore, it was easier for me to remember. But you can
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.88,0:01:49.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,make up any other rhyme that you like. There's quite a few
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.80,0:01:54.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ones that I heard that I though have been quite funny.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.86,0:02:00.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every Boy Gets Dizzy Around Elle which is Elle Macpherson,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.69,0:02:03.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my favourite super model. So, Every Boy Gets Dizzy Around
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.75,0:02:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Elle: my little tribute to the the wonderful Elle Macpherson.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.00,0:02:11.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We could have also, one of my students told me one,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.41,0:02:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,starting from the thick string:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.08,0:02:19.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Eddy Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddy. So that one is going
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.40,0:02:22.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the thick strings. It really doesn't matter. You can make
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.02,0:02:25.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up your own rhyme, so long as you have a rhyme that will
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.86,0:02:29.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,help you remember the open string note names. And this
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.64,0:02:32.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is really important because very, very soon, i.e. in the next
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.84,0:02:35.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stage, we're going to be starting to look at all of the note
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.05,0:02:37.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,names and the notes in the open position. If you don't know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.52,0:02:40.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the open strings yet, it's going to be kind of, well
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.96,0:02:42.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,next to impossible.
