Video Transcript

"In this example what I'm going to do is I'm going to be playing with a distorted rock tone. And a, I'm just going to start going over some basic a rhythm ideas and also ideas you can probably implement into your songs whether you want to use them for a verse or chorus or a bridge or whatever. And a, what I'm going to do here is play a D Major progression, I'm going to play D, G and A and end up back on the resolve of D. And so with the drum pattern it's going to sound like this. And so what I did there even though it's very basic a on if you pay attention to the song writing styles of a lot of artists a you know, regardless of what style it is, it's typically a simple progression like that where you're just playing D two, three, four, G, two, three, four, A, two, three, four, G, two, three, four and then back to D. You know, that's used in a lot of different songs just you know, give it a different chord progression basically where it's just simply ringing out. You don't play anything else just let it ring, you know, and it's basically an even four counts over a simple drum beat."
