Sweet Emotion (Lesson) - Aerosmith

[00:00:01]Hey, y'all.

[00:00:02]Hey, how about Sweet Emotion?

[00:00:05]Every guitar player is going to have some reason to play this at some point in their guitar playing life.

[00:00:11]>> [music] >> If you're lucky.

[00:00:13]Uh so, during the intro, it's uh doing its thing with the talk box.

[00:00:17]>> [music] >> It's doing all that stuff.

[00:00:21]Uh and then it comes in and then uh sweet emotion, they're singing it, right? Still no guitar except for the talk box thing.

[00:00:28]And then uh I think at the very end before it goes into >> [music] >> I think before that, one uh at the tail end of the intro, I think the guitar does do >> [music] >> just to start it.

[00:00:52]So, that's on A5.

[00:00:57]>> [music] >> And four.

[00:01:01]To A.

[00:01:04]>> [music] >> A3.

[00:01:09]>> [music] >> To G.

[00:01:15]>> [music] >> And then >> [music] >> AG.

[00:01:25]>> [music] >> DA.

[00:01:33]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Do that for 5 minutes if you've never played this riff.

[00:01:57]And then >> [music] >> on the A35 to the A note.

[00:02:09]G uh A E string at five.

[00:02:12]>> [music] >> Then walk it up from two >> [music] >> three >> [music] [music] >> at the end, the last >> [music] >> walks it up sort of slow.

[00:02:41]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I'd probably do the second time through, I'd probably do the harmony line.

[00:03:08]>> [music] >> Instead >> [music] >> D75 to A at seven.

[00:03:18]And then walk it up again starting at four. [music] >> [music] >> And then you're back in the >> [music] >> You're back into the the little bass break in the middle, but I think this guitar does >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> I think I'm hearing something like that in there.

[00:03:59]>> [music] [music] >> Into the last verse. So, D and G open and then at two.

[00:04:16]>> [music] >> 012 on G and then the same thing on D.

[00:04:22]>> [music] [music] [music] >> And I think he does it again going into it.

[00:04:41]>> [music] [music] >> Last time through.

[00:04:52]>> [music] [music] >> This is near the outro.

[00:05:02]>> [music] >> Exactly it goes >> [music] >> on F sharp.

[00:05:15]>> [music] >> And then bend it up.

[00:05:22]And I think that's what this rhythm guitar does for the outro. I think it does it >> [music] >> So, instead of the the throughout the whole song, that riff is done the bass riff is done on A.

[00:05:35]>> [music] >> I'm just playing a guitar version of it.

[00:05:41]But then on the outro, I think it goes >> [music] [music] >> That's a low E and then on A D E.

[00:06:00]>> [music] >> Five.

[00:06:09]>> [music] >> Four.

[00:06:14]>> [music] [music] >> And then E.

[00:06:23]I don't know if it's Joe who did the solo. Some studio guy. I don't know if Joe did that solo. There was a time when they had the guns like us coming in and do solos.

[00:06:37]>> [music] >> I think this guitar is going out on that.

[00:06:47]Good luck.
