00:00:44,354 --> 00:00:47,996
Hey, how're you doin? Justin here. In this lesson today,

2
00:00:47,996 --> 00:00:51,145
we're checking out "Hysteria" by Muse.

3
00:00:51,145 --> 00:00:53,582
That little riff that I just played there
was actually the bass riff,

4
00:00:53,582 --> 00:00:55,891
it's not really the guitar riff.

5
00:00:55,891 --> 00:00:57,461
But I'm going to show it to you anyway because

6
00:00:57,461 --> 00:01:00,447
it sounds pretty cool. 
So we're going to check out that little riff first.

7
00:01:00,447 --> 00:01:02,607
Then we're going to check out the actual kind of main

8
00:01:02,607 --> 00:01:05,207
melody part that he plays, 
check out the chords in the chorus

9
00:01:05,207 --> 00:01:07,253
and I'll show you the solo as well, for good measure.

10
00:01:07,253 --> 00:01:11,351
Because it's a pretty funky little solo. 
So, without any further ado,

11
00:01:11,351 --> 00:01:14,387
let's get stuck in and check out that first riff.

12
00:01:14,387 --> 00:01:27,540
. . .

13
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:30,330
Okay, nice and slowly, let's check it out.

14
00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:39,749
. . .

15
00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:41,777
There, this is obviously the tenth fret

16
00:01:41,777 --> 00:01:44,910
. . .

17
00:01:44,910 --> 00:01:45,959
Ten to twelve

18
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,537
. . .

19
00:01:46,537 --> 00:01:47,356
Open again

20
00:01:47,356 --> 00:01:48,176
. . .

21
00:01:48,176 --> 00:01:48,830
Ten

22
00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:49,330
. . .

23
00:01:49,330 --> 00:01:50,322
Open

24
00:01:50,322 --> 00:01:51,115
. . .

25
00:01:51,115 --> 00:01:52,107
Seven

26
00:01:52,107 --> 00:01:53,315
. . .

27
00:01:53,315 --> 00:01:56,968
open again, then we've got this
eight, eight, seven, five, seven

28
00:01:56,968 --> 00:02:05,567
. . .

29
00:02:05,567 --> 00:02:08,631
That's the first bar.
Definitely worth practicing that bit by itself.

30
00:02:08,631 --> 00:02:11,215
Then we're onto the next one.
We've got now an E pedal

31
00:02:11,215 --> 00:02:11,715
. . .

32
00:02:11,715 --> 00:02:12,774
an open E

33
00:02:12,774 --> 00:02:17,614
. . .

34
00:02:17,614 --> 00:02:18,964
which is all on the thickest string,

35
00:02:18,964 --> 00:02:21,592
except for the last note there,
the note A up at the twelfth fret

36
00:02:21,592 --> 00:02:26,845
. . .

37
00:02:26,845 --> 00:02:28,498
This is obviously the tenth here

38
00:02:28,498 --> 00:02:31,267
. . .

39
00:02:31,267 --> 00:02:33,382
similar sort of feel to the other one

40
00:02:33,382 --> 00:02:39,946
. . .

41
00:02:39,946 --> 00:02:42,116
the twelfth and fifteenth fret there

42
00:02:42,116 --> 00:02:45,930
. . .

43
00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:47,779
Now we're up to the D string

44
00:02:47,779 --> 00:03:09,113
. . .

45
00:03:09,113 --> 00:03:11,622
Sometimes I'm changing what finger I play that note with,

46
00:03:11,622 --> 00:03:15,192
it doesn't really matter.
And then we finish the same as we start.

47
00:03:15,192 --> 00:03:18,967
. . .

48
00:03:18,967 --> 00:03:21,183
Except the first note of that's missing actually.

49
00:03:21,183 --> 00:03:26,683
. . .

50
00:03:26,683 --> 00:03:28,284
So we're having this

51
00:03:28,284 --> 00:03:31,604
. . .

52
00:03:31,604 --> 00:03:35,058
It's kind of this here is the first beat of the next bar

53
00:03:35,058 --> 00:03:36,578
. . .

54
00:03:36,578 --> 00:03:38,528
because it's an octave above the A anyway.

55
00:03:38,528 --> 00:03:49,689
. . .

56
00:03:49,689 --> 00:03:53,018
When it comes to the main guitar riff,
it's really important that you make sure

57
00:03:53,018 --> 00:03:55,460
that you get your muting good with both hands.

58
00:03:55,460 --> 00:03:56,816
First of all, when you're playing the octave

59
00:03:56,816 --> 00:03:57,880
. . .

60
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,557
you should be able to strum all of the notes, but all of

61
00:04:00,557 --> 00:04:05,126
the notes are muted, except the two that you want.

62
00:04:05,126 --> 00:04:06,952
. . .

63
00:04:06,952 --> 00:04:09,891
And you're going to use that
down, down, up, down, down, up pattern.


64
00:04:09,891 --> 00:04:11,899
. . .

65
00:04:11,899 --> 00:04:15,422
Then mute all of the strings
with the outside of your palm here,

66
00:04:15,422 --> 00:04:17,525
sists on the strings to keep them all quiet

67
00:04:17,525 --> 00:04:19,495
. . .

68
00:04:19,495 --> 00:04:21,946
and then you're going to do a little bend here
at the twelfth fret

69
00:04:21,946 --> 00:04:24,036
. . .

70
00:04:24,036 --> 00:04:26,299
to the tenth fret. So it's semitone bend

71
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:28,618
. . .

72
00:04:28,618 --> 00:04:30,416
and down to the tenth fret.

73
00:04:30,416 --> 00:04:33,299
Now, that pattern just moves down now, so twelve

74
00:04:33,299 --> 00:04:37,829
. . .

75
00:04:37,829 --> 00:04:39,834
that's first finger on the eleventh fret

76
00:04:39,834 --> 00:04:41,038
. . .

77
00:04:41,038 --> 00:04:42,533
first finger on the eighth fret

78
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:48,906
. . .

79
00:04:48,906 --> 00:04:51,787
last time, the bend is going up and down a couple of times.

80
00:04:51,787 --> 00:04:54,181
. . .

81
00:04:54,181 --> 00:04:55,159
Same again

82
00:04:55,159 --> 00:05:10,831
. . .

83
00:05:10,831 --> 00:05:12,684
Then he's just hitting an open A string

84
00:05:12,684 --> 00:05:13,751
. . .

85
00:05:13,751 --> 00:05:16,205
and the seventh fret of the fourth string

86
00:05:16,205 --> 00:05:17,486
. . .

87
00:05:17,486 --> 00:05:20,154
octaves of the eighth. Then, the guitar is quiet.

88
00:05:20,154 --> 00:05:22,288
All of the way through the verse, comes in with

89
00:05:22,288 --> 00:05:24,117
. . .

90
00:05:24,117 --> 00:05:24,978
big muted hits.

91
00:05:24,978 --> 00:05:27,490
So grabbing the whole fingerboard with your fingers

92
00:05:27,490 --> 00:05:29,126
. . .

93
00:05:29,126 --> 00:05:30,133
and hitting

94
00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:33,123
. . .

95
00:05:33,123 --> 00:05:37,477
then we're into the chorus. 
Now, the chorus, the chords are power chords.

96
00:05:37,477 --> 00:05:38,136
C

97
00:05:38,136 --> 00:05:39,498
. . .

98
00:05:39,498 --> 00:05:40,448
G

99
00:05:40,448 --> 00:05:42,432
. . .

100
00:05:42,432 --> 00:05:42,932
D

101
00:05:42,932 --> 00:05:44,931
. . .

102
00:05:44,931 --> 00:05:45,745
and A

103
00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:59,224
. . .

104
00:05:59,224 --> 00:06:01,683
And it's kind of strummed unusually for power chords

105
00:06:01,683 --> 00:06:05,129
if you just check out the strumming hand now
for a second, here it is

106
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:17,582
. . .

107
00:06:17,582 --> 00:06:20,632
Now, I do a little trick here as well, which you might like,

108
00:06:20,632 --> 00:06:23,141
where I'm playing a C chord.
Now this is, and I don't think what

109
00:06:23,141 --> 00:06:25,508
Matt Bellamy is playing on the record but it sounds pretty,

110
00:06:25,508 --> 00:06:28,165
sounds like it. I think maybe it's a bass or a synthesiser

111
00:06:28,165 --> 00:06:29,624
or something, but I go

112
00:06:29,624 --> 00:06:33,373
. . .

113
00:06:33,373 --> 00:06:34,367
I put a little

114
00:06:34,367 --> 00:06:37,592
. . .

115
00:06:37,592 --> 00:06:39,384
a bend in from the second fret

116
00:06:39,384 --> 00:06:40,873
. . .

117
00:06:40,873 --> 00:06:42,334
and then up to the third

118
00:06:42,334 --> 00:07:04,404
. . .

119
00:07:04,404 --> 00:07:07,106
And finishing with a little riff, same as the bass one

120
00:07:07,106 --> 00:07:12,298
. . .

121
00:07:12,298 --> 00:07:15,338
which is of course the one with the E pedal
the we learned already.

122
00:07:15,338 --> 00:07:21,610
. . .

123
00:07:21,610 --> 00:07:23,746
And then it's back into that octaves thing.

124
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,

125
00:07:27,181 --> 00:07:29,695
we're into the solo!

126
00:07:29,695 --> 00:07:33,102
I'm going to do the solo in two halves.
The first half looks like this:

127
00:07:33,102 --> 00:07:45,995
. . .

128
00:07:45,995 --> 00:07:49,820
Okay, let's go through that now, just really nice and slowly.

129
00:07:49,820 --> 00:07:51,268
Got here fourteen and twelve

130
00:07:51,268 --> 00:08:13,941
. . .

131
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.

132
00:08:17,721 --> 00:08:19,420
I'm sure there's plenty of tabs around for this

133
00:08:19,420 --> 00:08:21,483
and you can probably see it anyway.

134
00:08:21,483 --> 00:08:22,844
That's, we've got this nice little run

135
00:08:22,844 --> 00:08:27,647
. . .

136
00:08:27,647 --> 00:08:30,137
Second part of the solo is based on arpeggio's.

137
00:08:30,137 --> 00:08:52,891
. . .

138
00:08:52,891 --> 00:08:55,737
Hope you enjoyed the look at Hysteria by Muse.

139
00:08:55,737 --> 00:08:59,361
Fantastic rock tune and if you're playing in a band
or getting a band together,

140
00:08:59,361 --> 00:09:01,149
it's a really, really great fun one to play.

141
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

142
00:09:05,086 --> 00:09:08,224
if you can't. Matt Bellamy's guitar playing is most awesome

143
00:09:08,224 --> 00:09:11,347
and in this tune, there's loads
and loads of cool things to learn.

144
00:09:11,347 --> 00:09:14,178
I hope I didn't go too fast through the solo.

145
00:09:14,178 --> 00:09:16,149
There's going to be plenty of tabs around. If not, just make

146
00:09:16,149 --> 00:09:19,188
your own tab really slowly by watching the video.

147
00:09:19,188 --> 00:09:22,612
It's not too difficult. Make sure that you get your alternate

148
00:09:22,612 --> 00:09:26,156
picking all of the way through this tune. 
All of those fast things are all alternate.

149
00:09:26,156 --> 00:09:30,309
Continuously alternate, you know,
down-up picking, whatever.

150
00:09:30,309 --> 00:09:33,883
Making sure that you pick down on the beat of course.

151
00:09:33,883 --> 00:09:37,983
Yeah, lots of good fun. Hope you enjoyed that. 
Back for plenty more guitar lessons soon.

152
00:09:37,983 --> 00:09:39,911
If you get stuck on any of this, check out the forum.

153
00:09:39,911 --> 00:09:42,686
There'll be plenty of people to help. And I'll put also,

154
00:09:42,686 --> 00:09:45,696
some additional notes that'll help you play the tune
on my website.

155
00:09:45,696 --> 00:09:49,293
Take care of yourselves and I'll see you some time
real soon. Bye bye!
