How to play "Til It All Goes South" on guitar
[Capo Placement]
- Place a capo on the 2nd fret to match the song's original key,
which allows you to play in open chord positions effectively.
[Intro and Verse Strumming]
- Use a driving strumming pattern with a mix of down and up
strokes on D, C, G, D to establish the upbeat tempo from the
start.
- Keep this energetic rhythm consistent through the verses,
ensuring the story in the lyrics is supported by a strong
musical backing.
[Chorus Emphasis]
- The chorus should feel dynamic and robust. Increase the
intensity of your strumming during this part to match the
emphatic declaration in the lyrics.
- Focus on smooth transitions between chords to maintain the
flow and keep the energy up.
[Instrumental/Solo Section]
- The solo follows the same chord progression as the intro and
verses. You can keep the same strumming pattern or add
variations to highlight the instrumental melody.
- This is a good opportunity to experiment with dynamics,
possibly softening up a bit before building back into the
final chorus.
[Break and Outro]
- For the break, reduce your strumming intensity slightly to
prepare for the emotional build-up in the final chorus.
- Return to full intensity in the outro, ending the song on a
high note with repeated lines from the chorus.
Common mistakes:
- Not adjusting the strumming intensity between the verse and
chorus. The chorus should stand out with a stronger, more
forceful strum.
- Losing tempo during the solo. Keep the rhythm steady to
support any lead guitar work.
