Backing Track
TAB & ‘one to one’ tuition available to members
John’s notes: Although a Paul Weller fan, when a fellow member suggested I checked out “you do something for me” as an instrumental project I was originally sceptical. But within a few bars I was sold. It’s got a great chord structure and a bluesy melody so didn’t take long to work out an arrangement using only the E minor scale. This arrangement uses standard techniques most members will be familiar with (bends, hammer on’s, pull off’s, slides etc) so should not be too much of a challenge. Just listen (or watch) the video of me playing, and listen to the backing track a few times before attempting to play along with it.
Solo Gtr
Rhythm Gtr
Rhythm Guitar supplies the background harmony whether on it’s own or with other instruments. Practice along with the Backing Track on the website first to get your chord changes and timing ‘spot on’ before playing along with the melody (either a singer or instrument). I’m playing this using a ‘flatpicking’ style picking out lead tones of a chord. This is a good way of accomanying a singer or instrument because it adds movement within the chords rather than just strumming them. NOTE: The rhythm guitar would not normally be played this loud. It would be mixed withinin the backing harmony. This video is for lesson purpose only.
