What we got?
Get my guitar.
[music] [singing] >> Okay, cool. So they're uh doing a A E C sharp B. [music] That's just the octaves right there. But if you want to do a uh let me see.
[music] [music] I think to make this easy for everybody, you could do I think this probably what they're doing on the track cable on the fourth fret. Uh [music] [music] yeah, that sounds right.
So, put the cable on the fourth fret and go F, C, A minor, G.
[music] Come on, let's go, baby. I'm liking it.
Let's go. I'm hearing all kinds of new progressions from Zach that I've never heard before uh uh in the past.
fell in love [singing] with a shotgun in my hands. If you were to say honest to be contrarian, but I've been working all [singing] myself [music] all fall six a week ain't bad. Little boring is all.
You're so cool [music] in my living room and you talk [music] trash with your hair [singing] sl Okay. So the chorus is F, [music] G, C.
[music] Come on, man. I'm digging it. Let's go.
Okay, let's go. Hold on.
>> Contrarian, but [singing] [music] all six a week ain't bad. little boring home.
>> So, we've we've heard that he's been working on his drinking. So, here in this song, he says, "I've been working on myself." We've we've heard this so far and he's been I've been working on myself all fall. Six beers a week ain't bad. A little boring is all. So, you know, he's at this point where he's like slowing down and trying to quit and he's like, "It ain't bad, but it's it's just boring. Come on, let's go. [music] You're so cool in my [music] living room. [singing] And when you talk trash, [music and singing] >> there we go. There's the title of the song.
>> When I get to heaven heaven, can [music] I bring my girl?
She [music] likes romance, good sex, music, and ruling [singing] the world.
>> I like that.
He said, "You're so cool in my living room, and you talk all that trash with your slick back hair. When I get to heaven or hell, can I bring my girl with me cuz she's into all the same things I am, right?" And [laughter] that's just funny when he says, "Hey, uh, when I get to heaven or hell," he that that means he's questioning whether he's going to go to heaven or hell himself, but he's like, "When I get there, can I just bring the girl that I love with me?" Come on, let's go.
Let's go. Let's go. Where aren't you going? There we go.
I like that slide.
Come on. Going [music] to start a ride from the edge of my bed. Cuz I still see you in that [music] pool hole in New York in my head. Used to know some folks who put it all [music] online, but you paint landscapes in the evening time.
Oh, dang. [music] I catch your soul.
>> I like that right there. Uh he he's talking about what's going on. And I guess I in their personal life, you know, I'm going to start right from the edge of my bed. like that bed is his place, his personal space cuz I still see you in the pool in the new in New York in my head. And then he says, "I used to know some folks who put it all online, but you paint landscapes in the evening time. Like instead of you putting everything about us online, you're just over here doing your own thing, painting pictures at nighttime.
Like that's a way better life. People who put every single thing online, it's like, you know, come on. You don't got to do that. Instead of putting everything online, take that time to do something productive and in this case, paint some landscapes in the evening time. Come on.
In my living room and you talk trash with the hair sloo.
When I [music] get to Heather heaven, can I bring [singing] my girl?
That bas.
[music] >> I like too when he finished the second verse with uh but you paint landscapes in the evening time and then it right it goes right into cuz you're so cool in my living room. Like he thinks that's a cool thing that you're sitting there painting pictures instead of putting everything online, right? Instead of just putting your whole life online, you're over here just painting pictures.
And I think that's cool. Can I take you with me when I go to heaven or hell? I hope so.
I'm a seven [music] generation country boy. My father used red tobacco packs [music] baby [singing] toys. I'm going to start a ride from the edge of my bed cuz I still want you in that pool in New York in my head. [music] He said, "My father used red man tobacco bags as baby toys. Like here, play with this." [laughter] Oh, that reminds me of a kid growing up.
Like my dad has always chewed Copenhagen and I remember playing with his Copenhagen cans when I was a little kid.
That's funny, man. Come on.
>> You're so [music] cool in my living room.
[music] Dude, those horns.
[music] >> They're they're real quiet in the mix and they're just [snorts] just kind of drag in. [music] >> She likes [singing] romance, good sex.
Come on. Let's do a solo. Come on.
[music] Little slide.
You're so cool in my living room.
And when you talk trash, will you head [singing] back?
When I get to heaven, [music] can I bring my girl? [singing] [music] She likes romance, good sex music, and ruling the world.
That progression right there is just sounds fun. I want to just jam to it.
Come on. Hey, that was a fun one. I really like that. That one had like a real positive feel and you could tell, you know, he's just he's just loving that that significant other, man. Come on.
I like that track a lot. Slick back.
That one I'm going to be playing that one a lot. What' you guys think of that one? Let me know in the comments below.
Y'all know what it is. I'll see you on the next one. Pakes.
