1. Here Comes The Sun
Class project

4. Start with the chords below.
Count & & 3 & & & 2 & 3 & 4 &
This is the difficult part. Chords change in groups of
3 1/8th notes.

5. 1 2 3
Hold all fingers down as above and then play 3rd string to 2nd string to 1st string. Then lift the 3rd finger, play 3rd string, 2nd string then 1st string, then lift index finger and play the 3rd string, 2nd string, 1st string. Then put the 1st finger down, play 3rd string, 2nd string, 1st string.
For the A7 part is just the scale coming down.

6. Next try pages 1 and 2. to the repeat. Repeat back to the 2nd line.

7. This section is just playing the arpeggio’s, the timing looks hard at first but listen to the recording. After the A7 it is best to hold the chord town and pick out the notes. Rhythm guitar should play on beat 1 in the 3/8 measures and 5/8 measure.

8. A7
Last page for key of D. Much of this is the same as earlier other then the ending that starts on Dm7. But again it is just playing an arpeggio of the chord.
Later we will do other things with this such as playing the melody, doing as the Beatles did and doing in a Chet Atkins style (simple – will talk about making it more complex)

9. Using the previous slides
Next do the melody. Learn it from the book or the previous slides.
Try to do it while holding the basic chords down. You will notice that the melody is mainly in the chords.
See the next slide for an example.

10. Here in the 1st 2 measures you can hold a D down and just lift the 2nd finger for the note E that makes it a D add9. It is then just a matter of which string you play. On the next chord the G you can hold a G chord down and play the notes on the 1st string. Then the E7 is easy to hold the chord down.
Chord D D add 9 D D D DDadd 9 D
This F# is the 9th
The other notes are in E7 Back to D and other than the E (1st string open) they are all in the chord.

11. This is the intro. Look at the top note in the melody and it should look familiar to you as it is the same as the melody to the song. You can either look at the tablature or the notes. While it helps to read the notes it isn’t totally necessary.
Many fine players play by ear but they understand the relationship of the notes to the chords. Even Chet Atkins who could read very well, played by ear most of the time.
