Hi everyone, in this video you will learn how to play the SpongeBob theme
As many of you already know, in my version of this song I used this mini guitar
But in this video lesson I'm going to teach on a ordinary guitar.
That sounds great especially if you play in the higher regions
But I will teach without the capotraste in this class to be as clear as possible
As you already know I use in my arrangements 7-string guitars,
but for this video I took off the seventh string to not confuse it. So here I am using a 6 string guitar.
So how will I teach this class?
I'm going to put a tab on the top of the vídeo.
And the cameras will be focused on my hands
And I'm going to tell you the most important aspects of the technique
So let's start. In this arrangement I developed a different tuning to make it easier to play
1st and 2nd string are on standard tunning
E... B
3rd string is G#
4th string is D#
5th string is A
And 6th string is D
So tune your guitar so we can start
Follow the tablature the first chord of the music
How to play it?
Index finger on the fourth string and the middle finger will alternate between the fifth and the sixth string
In the right hand we will use a technique called the thumb slap
Which is an attack of the index finger held at the same time that you tap with the thumbs the top strings
Then I play the bass, perform the thumb slap and end up playing the second string
It will be like this
The left hand should make a vibrato to create the same effect of the original theme.
I did this intro 4 times and now the melody starts.
Folow the tab
again
But you need to play this along with the thumb slap and chords
The ring finger on the 3rd string
The 3rd note of the melody is played together with the thumb slap
Important: the thumb slap need to be very precise to play the notes of the melody on the 2nd string
If I play everything it goes wrong. Look
This is wrong. The right is:
Continuing
The next note, change the bass on the left hand. Again:
So, you play this phrase of the melody and return to the accompaniment chords
you will play this 3 times. In the 3rd repetiton you will repeat the bass
repeat
After you have played 3 time the melody alternating the bass and in the 4th time repeating the bass
Now goes to a very easy chord
Take a look
Play 3 times this chord. How is it?
ring finger on the 1st string, Index finger 3th string and middle fingers 5th string
The bass alternates playing the 5th and 4th string
Let me play from the last part to you understand the change
Follow the tab
change the chord
3 times
In the end you will play one more time the beginning of the strumming
1...
2
3
now play again
It´s like 3 1/2 and you come back to the last chord
Will sound like this:
melody
Understand?
Now, lets continue...
when you finished this part of the melody...
you will play the bass and will do this:
You need to do two thumb slap and mute with the left hand
Can´t sound like this:
In you right hand you need to focus to only play the sharp notes
wait a moment and play:
How to do this chord? here:
1st fret and 2nd fret.
And little finger on the 4th fret
Continuing:
Now we have this muted notes
And you will change your fingers
You will play an slide and put you index finger
Understand?
I will play again very slow
Understand the muted notes?
The second repetiton...
And continuing...
Again very slow
So you come back to the melody again:
The diference is that in the 2nd time the bass notes are diferent
Look the tab. 1st time like always...
Alternate the bass
On the 2nd time you star on the 5th string
Same melody
Again...
You will play open 4th string
Again
Understand? now you will do a chord where you need to mute the 1st string and aim your slap only on these two strings
And you can do a bend
You can do a bend or a slide
And do a vibrato to sound like the original music
I will repeat very slow
In this last section you need to aim the slap down here
Tip: if you aim you slap down here its ok because the 1st string you will mute
This is it my friends. I hope you have enjoyed the lesson. This was my first class in this format. If you need help you can email me
I hope you liked and from the botton of my heart thanks for watching. Bye!!!
