Ste[p-by-Step You Got It Guitar Tutorial for Roy Orbison Fans!

Hey, guitar enthusiasts. I have a super fun song by Roy Orbison called you'd've Got It. And we're going to be going through step by step. There's a lot of different strumming patterns. There's even this cool little guitar line in there that I'm going to teach you. But we're going to go through step by step. There are some bar chords, but I am going to show you some alternative chords you could use if you're not the greatest with bar chords. So let's get into it.

Let's start off with our open chords first, because there's a number of those. We have a D chord, we have an E chord. Every once in While, an E7 chord comes in. You can just either play that by just lifting up your third finger, or if you like the really twangy one with your pinky, you could do that one too. So we have an E7 that comes in just once or twice throughout the song. So it's optional if you don't want to use it, you don't have to. So we have D, E, we have an A major chord. We have a G chord, okay? And then we have three bar chords. We have F sharp minor, okay, which you can even hear. I didn't play the greatest on that one. We have C sharp minor, okay? And then we have C sharp major. It's actually. Roy actually plays A C sharp 7 chord looks like this. But there are some alternatives that you can use to these. You could just use power chords. So instead of playing an F sharp minor, you could just play the top three notes of that chord, which look like an F sharp power chord. Same thing for C sharp minor, okay? Or the C sharp, you come up and you play a C sharp power chord, okay? And I'll show you when we get to that part where we use these bar chords a lot, where you could just kind of play all power chords, or you could do the open chords. The strumming is really, really cool there in that section. But let's start off with the intro strumming pattern. So you're going to hear. When you listen to the song, the intro is for a full measure and then it's a split measure of G and a split measure of G. D again, it is a full measure of A and a split measure of G and D. Okay? So it's going to sound like this. And then I'll tell you what we're doing. So it's going to be.

Okay. So you're going to hear this Slow strumming. And then you're going to hear this quick strumming on the G chord and the D chord. So on the A chord, we're just doing an eighth note pattern. It's going to be down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. All right, so it's 1 and 2 and 3 and 4and. And then we switch to 16th notes really, really fast. Down, up, down, ups. So what is going to be on the G chord is one E and a two. And then we're going to go. The D chord is going to be 3e and a 4. All right, so it's down, up, down, up, down, down, up, down, up, down. If you're not good at counting 16th notes yet, don't worry. Just go. Think really fast. Down, up, down, up, down, down, up, down, up, down. Okay, so it's 1E and a 2.

3E and a 4. Okay.

So just a quick down, up, down, up, down, down, up, down, up, down again. And.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Okay, and now if we pair that with the A chord, we've got our 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 e and a 2 and 3 and a 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4and 1 e and a 2 and 3 e and a 4 and. Okay, and now without me talking over it.

Okay, and then we jump into the verse. So you're going to hear here sometimes on the verse, usually the first time through, that little quick thing comes on the end when Roy is not singing. So this first verse, we've got the same chord progression, a split measure of G and D. But the first time the D and the G, we're just doing the eighth note pattern. So it's going to be. The first time through is going to.

Be 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3.

And 4and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 1E and a 2, 3E and a 4 and. And that's the only time it does that little flurry on the verses. Okay. And then the next time through, it's just the same thing, all eighth note patterns. And then we have an E chord and a G chord on the end. So if I just show you what we're doing on this verse, we'll do the intro and verse together and then we'll keep moving on to the pre chorus, which has a really, really cool strumming pattern. I love it. Very, very classic to this era. So we've got verse, we've Got one to ready.

And every time I look into your loving eyes.

I see a love that money just can't buy.

Okay, so on the end, you can see there, we got an E chord and a G chord. And I'm kind of building it into this next section of the song, which is the pre chorus. All right. We call that a crescendo where you play softly and then you get louder, which I think adds a lot of dynamics to this section of the song. But you can see in the verse, the first, A G D, I did all eighth notes. And then the second time through, I threw in the quick little flurries with the 16th notes. The third, third time through, I did it again as all eighth notes. And then the same on the E and G, all eighth notes, except we're adding that crescendo. So it's going to sound like this with the E.

So kind of digging in more on that G chord.

One look.

From you can drift away.

I pray that you are here to.

Stay okay, so what are we doing? Very, very classic rhythm. And you can see I use the bar chords, but this is a great place where you could use the power chords because we're doing all down strums here. All right? And the rhythm on this section is 2 and 4. So we're not playing anything on the down strum of one. So it's one, two and four. Two and four. Two and four. All right, so if I ever going to count. And I'll do the A chord so that you guys can practice with me. So we've got one, two, three and four.

And one, two and three, four. One, two and three, four. 1, 2 and 3, 4.

Okay. And you notice with my strumming hand. Now, see, this is the caveat of using bar chords. So with open chords, I have to mute the guitar with my strumming hand, okay. Whereas if I used all bar chords, you know.

I could just mute with the fretting hand. Okay, so pluses and minuses of, you know, bar chords and open chords. But you'll notice I'm cutting the sound of the guitar. And that's how we get that.

Okay? So that's the feel of that. Whenever you hear that. Ba ba ba ba ba ba Very, very common in music. You'll hear it very, very often. So what can we do here to fix this? Again, A chord, you could play it open.

And then you can go to your F sharp power chord. And then you can go to your C sharp power chord. And then you can either play an open E Which sounds great. Or if you want to stay on the power chord shape, you could just slide up to the seventh and ninth frets. You'd have a higher sounding pitch, but it's an E chord. So those are your options. You can either do bar chords and open chords. A mix. So we have the A chord.

Okay.

So it's kind of a mix of open chords, bar chords. You could do it as the open A chord in power chords, or you could do it all as power chords. So up here on the top string, 5, 7, 7 is an A power chord. So you could go A. Then slide your hand down to two and four. Okay. Now you just move down to the fifth string. Come up to this C sharp Note on the fourth fret. So now we're on 4, 6, 6. And then slide up to 7 and 9. And that will work perfectly fine for that part without having to play any barre chords. So if you take it from the pre chorus, it'll sound like this with the power chords.

One look from you I drift away.

I hope pray that you.

Here to stay.

Anything you want, you got it Anything you need, you got it Anything at all, you got it, baby.

All right, so this brings us into our chorus part. And you can see here we do have the bar chords again. Now, I was using open strumming with the bar chords, and all I was doing was going back to that eighth note strum. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.

And 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.

And so each of these measures is a split measure. Okay. Again, for the C sharp and the F sharp, minor, you could just do.

You could just use power chords. All right. You can continue using power chords if you want to. I like to play with the full bar chords because it gives it a really good full sound. But if you can't, power chords are perfectly fine. And if you notice when I'm playing over this course, I'm kind of hopping the rhythm a little bit, meaning I'm kind of changing the chords on the up strum outside of that A chord. So it sounds like this 1 and.

2 and 3 and 4. And 1 and 2 and 3 and 4. And 1 and 2 and 3 and four and one.

Hard to do slow.

And 1 and 2 and 3, and 4.

Now if I play it a little bit more up to speed.

And then on the end, this is where our E7 comes in. We've got A. And we're just going to do all eighth notes.

Then we got an E major.

Then.

E7.

And then we go right back into our next verse. So before I show you the cool little breakdown that happens after our second chorus here, I'm going to do a little playthrough. We'll do intro, verse, pre chorus, chorus. This way you guys can have a playthrough. And then if you're interested in learning that little guitar line, I'll show you that shortly after. 1, 2, 2, 3, 4.

Every time I look into your loving eyes.

I see a love that money just came by.

Won't look.

From you I drift away.

I pray that you are here to stay.

Anything you want, you got it. Anything you need, you got it. Anything at all, you got it, baby.

And there you go. You see, I. I screwed up in the middle on that chorus. For some reason. I had B minor in my head instead of C sharp. I think I was going to C instead of C sharp. But see, when you're playing a song and in the middle like that, I, I keep those in because they're good learning moments for students. When you make a mistake like that, just keep playing through it. Because if you stop the song, it's so much more obvious that you made a mistake. So if that happens to you and you're like, crap, I just hit the wrong chord. Quickly get onto the right chord, keep going. But that gives you an idea of how this song goes. And now we have this section after our second chorus where you really could just hang out on an A chord, you know?

Anything you want, baby.

And then he.

Anything you want, you got it. Anything you need, you got it. Anything at all.

And then he does his other fun stuff, you know, and then he really goes into it. So I'm gonna pull up this little tab. It's a very easy little lick that runs on the D string, the A string and the E string. And all it is is just. It's just a bunch of eighth notes. So I'm just out. Let me play it for you real quick and then I'll show you. I'll break.

Okay, so again here I. I've got this just running little bass line that's going through. And we're starting on the D string, second fret. And we're going to do two, two, open twice. Alright? And I'm doing alternate picking which is down, up, down, up. Alright, so it's down, up, down, up. That's what we're doing on the D string. Two, two, open, open. Now we're going to come up to the A string and we're going to four, four, two, two, open, open. Okay, so four four, two, two. Open, open. And then we do that same thing on the high. Sorry, the low E string. 4, 4, 2, 2. Open, open. Alright, so it's.

Then you.

Okay.

And then it just. You can just loop that throughout that little part. If you didn't want. Or if you're playing with a friend, your friend can play the A chord and you can do the.

You could do that over. That's very, very fun to play with another person. Now, if you love Roy Orbison, I highly recommend you go check out my Pretty Woman lesson right over there, where I'm going to go over another cool little bass line and guitar line that Roy does in that song as well. And I'll also show you how to strum along. Go check out that video right now.
