Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.77,0:00:08.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello. How're you doing? Justin here.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.10,0:00:11.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In this video today we're going to be checking \Nout a really, really cool,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.31,0:00:15.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,slightly more advanced rhythm guitar pattern.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.05,0:00:19.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in this pattern we're gonna be separating out the bass note and the actual strum.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.38,0:00:21.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, a really, really cool sounding technique
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.15,0:00:24.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it can really make your rhythm playing \Nsound a lot more interesting.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.03,0:00:26.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let me just play a little bit of it before we go to a close-up
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.46,0:00:28.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can hear what I mean and it's this kind of.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.68,0:00:39.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.69,0:00:44.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's that kinda sound when we've got this little bass pick up - strum - bass, strum strum -
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.98,0:00:49.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bass, strum strum - bass, strum strum - bass
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.94,0:00:53.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a really cool little technique. \NSo let's go to a little bit of a close-up now,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.52,0:00:55.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,let's check out the technique and then \NI'll explain to you about
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.81,0:00:59.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making sure that you pick the right bass note.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.29,0:01:04.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK, what I'm doing here is \NI'm holding down a open G chord
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.90,0:01:08.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I want you to check out the way \Nthe picking is going here.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.14,0:01:09.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, what we're doing on beat 1:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.86,0:01:15.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[plays] we're picking just that thick string. \NIt's just that note and that's the note G from our G chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.72,0:01:20.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we're going '1, 2 and' which is strums.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.11,0:01:23.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you know, I'm mainly focusing \Ndown on the thinnest strings so:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.16,0:01:28.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1, 2 and, 3, 4 and
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.12,0:01:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when you smooth it up a bit:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.00,0:01:33.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1, 2 and, 3, 4 and,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.40,0:01:36.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,..1, 2 and, 3, 4 and,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.42,0:01:39.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,...1, 2 and, 3, 4 and,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.96,0:01:43.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.32,0:01:46.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can see, with the bass hit, \NI'm kinda moving my hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.67,0:01:49.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not like ...2 and, 3, 4 and.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.78,0:01:55.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm trying to let it hit and then just let my hand move \Nbecause it keeps the feeling of the strum
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.03,0:01:59.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.88,0:02:03.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Takes a little bit of practice but that's what you're going for.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.68,0:02:08.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, what's really important is that you realise that every chord has a different bass note
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.42,0:02:12.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what you're really aiming for \Nis the bass note of each chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.42,0:02:17.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we already did a little bit of work understanding \Nwhat the notes are in our open position.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.78,0:02:21.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if we're looking at, let's say A minor chord, \Nyou should be able to know
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.44,0:02:25.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the bass note for the A minor chord \Nis going to be the open 5th string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.53,0:02:27.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.83,0:02:31.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's the one we should be playing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.17,0:02:35.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we went to a C chord, an open C chord, \Nthen you should know that the C,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.56,0:02:39.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the lowest C note that we're playing, \Nis that note at the 3rd fret of the 5th string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.78,0:02:41.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.48,0:02:46.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that would mean the bass note is at the 5th string. \NThat is the one that we wanna be plucking.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.73,0:02:50.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we went to a D chord you should know again
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.12,0:02:54.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the lowest D note is right up there \Non the open 4th string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.73,0:02:58.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.30,0:03:01.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to C maybe,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.16,0:03:03.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Amin ...and to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.54,0:03:05.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,G,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.55,0:03:08.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Emin,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.39,0:03:10.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,G,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.89,0:03:11.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,C,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.98,0:03:14.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,D.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.67,0:03:18.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can really experiment a lot with this pattern. \NIt's a really, really nice one
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.29,0:03:23.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's kind of a good kind of halfway pattern because your having to focus on individual notes
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.39,0:03:25.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you're really concentrating the way you're playing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.43,0:03:29.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It teaches you good pick control because \Nyou don't wanna be sitting there
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.38,0:03:33.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just randomly thrashing away at the guitar all the time. \NThis teaches you to be quite accurate,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.100,0:03:37.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even within a strum because strumming is \Ngenerally kinda loose, you know,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.49,0:03:42.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when you start doing these individual picks you have to be both loose and accurate at the same time
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.88,0:03:46.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'cause strumming is about being relaxed. \NSo it's really working that
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.22,0:03:50.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.63,0:03:53.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,still relaxed but you have to be pretty accurate.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.27,0:03:55.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Later on you can start mucking around with it, you know
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.73,0:04:02.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,. . .
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.62,0:04:04.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you will do all sorts of funny, tricksty stuff
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.89,0:04:08.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as you get better at it and more \Naccurate with your picking hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.52,0:04:11.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that's kinda where it's going to \Nbut this one pattern you can stick it
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.77,0:04:16.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on loads and loads of different songs, \Nany songs that you like, that you've learned so far.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.28,0:04:20.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Have a go at sticking this bass note in, \Nmaking sure you know what the bass note is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.97,0:04:24.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for every chord that you're playing and then just experiment 'cause this one's pretty good fun.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.88,0:04:28.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Take care, have a good one, see you soon. Bye-bye.
