Video Transcript

"JOE WILES: Hi. This is Joe Wiles with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. We're counting down the top 80 most downloaded guitar tabs on the Internet, and number 68 comes in "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria. We'll start the song off by hitting a low E note, then your index finger on the 7th fret of the A string, ring finger on the 9th fret of the D string. Okay? Then we're going to sweep across these with the palm of our hands meeting the strings, like that. Okay? Then we're going to bring our pinkie up to the 10th fret of the D string then we're going to lay our index finger flat on the 7th fret of the G string back to the 10th fret of the D string, 9. Okay? So far, we're 7 on the D string, 7 on the D string again, 9, 10, excuse me, 7, 10, 9, 7, and then down to the string, the A string, 10, 9. If that didn't confuse you, just go ahead and watch, okay? Repeat. Now, we do a couple chords at the end, okay? We're going to bring these two fingers up here 'cause they're closest, okay? Tenth fret of the low E string, 9th fret of the A string, slide these up to the 14th fret of the low E string, 12th fret of the A string. Slide this down two frets, 12 and 10. These last couple of chords should go like this. In context, slowly, that song sounds like this. To speed, that song sounds like this. Stay tune for our next segment, we're going to look at number 67. I'll see you then."
