Video Transcript

"The next group of chords are the D chord, the A chord and the G chord. We just come off this minor, and then, "Hit him like a freight train." Those are, you know, those are the three chords. And what I would do to play that is, I would come to this D here. Okay? If you want to add another note, we can. Here's an A chord, just these two notes, this third, the third of the A chord and the high E, the fifth of the chord. And then go to G, it's got really nice voice-like quality. So the song up to that point, so one last time here's your D, here's your A and here's your G. So, "Walked along by the old canal. A little confused, I remember well. She checked into a cheap motel with the neon burning bright and felt the heat of the night. It hit him like a freight train." And so this, all these notes are moving by one or two voices at once. And I'll wrap it up next."
