Video Transcription


What is up guys, it is Aaron. I want to do one for you tonight, kind of going out of my element I guess, it is because I have never listened to one of their songs other than through the radio, but they are the Jonas Brothers, and the song is called “When You Look Me In the Eyes.” All right, it is a standard tuning, it is E, A, D, G, B, E, so just standard tuning. The very beginning, very, very beginning of the intro, put your pointer finger and bar across the bottom two strings, that is all you need. On the 15th fret, you take your ring and you are going to—it is not going to go there originally, but after the first two notes, you are going to put it down to the 17th fret, so it is going to go like this. [Guitar Playing] Notice I am just playing the E and then the B, so 15, 16 and I put my ring down and play17, 15, do that four times. In this next little part, I want you to take your pointer finger and put it on the B string, 8th fret. So 8th fret in the B string. Take your middle finger and put it on the 9th fret of your high E, take your ring and put it on the B string 10th fret, and your pinkie is on the 10th fret of the high E string. Okay, now you are not going to play all of this at the same time in this position but I just want you to know whenever you see a note there that is where your finger should be. So pointer finger on the B string 8th fret, 10th fret ring finger on the B string and the high E, middle should go on the 9th, pinkie on the 10th. So you can see by the tabs that are over here, if you open those up while you are looking, you are going to play 9th on the E, so that is going to be middle finger on 9th fret and you are going to play. So 9 on the E with that middle finger on 10, on the B with that ring finger on the 10th fret, so, 9,10, then on the E put that pinkie down, so it is 10th fret and play 10 and then lift your ring up. So it will sound like this, middle finger, it is going to be on 9 on high E, 10 on the B, so 9-10-10-8. The next one is going to be 9-10-10-10, so the second one after you play the 9-10 is put your pinkie down and just leave that ring there, 10-10. The third one is 9-10-10-8. Again like the beginning and the last one is ring finger on the 12th fret of high E. 10 is your middle, 9 with your pointer, then 10 with your middle on the B string. The last one is on the B string. So it is going to sort of sound like this. [Demo] like that. All right, then the four chords that you have here on the verse and the chorus, the verse is there is a G chord, middle finger, 3rd fret of your E, A string, second string down pointer finger 2nd fret, and the bottom two strings, ring and pinky 3rd fret. I use a strum pattern that is [Demo] second chord is an A, to Bm. I am going to go over this. That A is “I’ve been looking for” “that someone” is kind of a quick transition so the strum pattern for the G is [Demo]. Switch to the A, the same thing. [Demo] Bm, and then G so that A, the second time is A, so down-down-up G. Play that G for two measures, like that. All right, chorus is A to D to A, “Everything’s alright” B, Bm. “When you’re right here by my side”, that is A to G and then “When you look me in the eyes” is D. Hold on one second. I am going to go get my headphones and actually, they are right here. All right, I am going to plug this is in and sees if I can at least sing awfully out of tune, so you guys can at least hear the strum pattern and I will play the chords and stuff. Give me a second; I will plug this in the back. So it starts in the G, A, Bm, A, G, G, A, Bm, B, A, G, Bm, A-G, A, D, A, Bm, A, G, A, D. All right, second verse is G, start in G, Am, Bm, A, G, G, A, Am, G, and then you go back to the chorus again. I am just going to play you through it. A, Bm, A, G, A, A, Bm, A, G, A. Bridge, Bm to the F#m, I will explain this in a minute. A, there is Em, and then it is going to G, A, strum once, D, A, and get back to the strum. A, Bm, A, G, repeat the chorus. There in the bridge, I went Bm to an F#. F# is pointer finger on the second fret of your E, ring and pinkie are here on the fo
