Walk - Foo Fighters (aula de guitarra)

Million miles away You're signaling the distance To whom it may concern

I think I lost my way Getting good at starting over Every time that I return I'm learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin?

Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Do you remember me?

We built these paper mountains inside and watched them burn. I think I found my plan. Can't you feel it? Going stronger. Little conqueror. I'm ready to war. I believe up. Where do I begin? Starting to talk to.

Now For the very first time Don't you pay no mind Set me free and You keep alive A moment at a time But still inside A whisper to a lie The sight of knowing This is a bad love state of mind I'm on my knees Wanna die, but wanna die

I'm learning to walk again. I'm learning to talk again. Can't you see I'm learning to walk again.

What's up guys from Cifra Club, I'm Vinícius Dias and now I'm going to teach you the lines and guitars of the Walk song from Foo Fighters. During the whole song there are moments that even three guitars play at the same time. I will teach you all the lines and I will give you tips for you to play everything with two or even on one guitar. I'm here with the Tajima T805 and to play the whole song I basically regulated two effects on my amplifier, one a little cleaner and the other with distortion.

The cleanest effect I use to play the introduction of the song and then after that I just use the drive, ok? Both effects are regulated with the bass and the treble a little highlighted. During the introduction and also the first part of the song, the guitar that holds the base will play on top of the chords. A with fifth. You can attack more specifically here on the fifth and fourth strings at this first moment. E with fifth. It is worth the same tip, attack more on the sixth and fifth string at this first moment.

then in B minor here in this region and also in D minor in the fifth house and then the guitar that makes the arpeggio will play on top of A9 of E major B minor with seventh and also in D minor with sixth check it out, that soon in the sequence I explain in detail ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

During the introduction and the first part, you saw that the bass guitar only marks on the chords, right?

The pattern you will play is very simple. You will play 8 times down with palm muting on top of the chord sequence. Ok? So this is the pattern. 8 touches down on top of each of the chord groups. But first we will pay attention to each of the sections. Attention here in the introduction.

you will play the pattern of 8 touches, ok? for 4 times with the dynamics very low on top of the chord there with the fifth if you get bored, you can just aim here to play on top of the fifth and also the fourth strings, ok? on the two notes there that appear here and then you repeat 8 times I'm not going to do 8, I'm just going to do 2 here for you to understand * music *

So, during the introduction of the song, instead of doing it twice like I did, just to show you, you will play this 8-beat group of 8 beats on top of the A5, right? Ok, done. Then, when you get to the second stanza of the first part, you will also start playing the chords, ok? You will start to do the pattern twice, that is, twice the 8-beat group on top of each of the chords.

So, look, decorate this structure. First you will play two times in the introduction, on top of the "Lá" with the fifth, okay? This same sequence. And then it will start eight times when the vocal starts to sing. And then, when it gets to the second stanza, then start changing the chords. It gets like this, look. ♪

Thank you.

The main tip for you to understand here is that during the passage of time, so introduction, first part being divided into first and second stanzas, you can increase the intensity playing with a little more strength and also in the other notes of the chord as I mentioned to you. Parallel to the base, the guitar that makes the riff will also follow a very cool sequence arpeggiating on top of the chords in a higher region as I showed you, okay? Let's go with the same division I did at the base now.

First, in the introduction, when the base is only holding the A, the guitar will arpeggiate on top of the A9 like this. Repeat. Right? So do this same sequence of arpeggios, which will be standard, okay? Twice on top of the A9 chord down here.

ok? Then, when you play the first part and the vocal starts to sing, even though the base is still holding the A major, as I showed you, this guitar starts to play in the other chords too. First, play in A9, then in E major, attention to this note A that you add to the chord in the last touch, ok? Then do the Bm7 and finally the Dm6.

So just do this sequence here once during the first stanza. And in the second stanza, it will follow the same way, just change the ending when you prepare for the chorus, where you stop playing on the sixth and play on the seventh of the D minor chord, ok? Like this. Now comes the first chorus of the song and the guitars keep playing the same way as the first part, ok?

After that, it will return to the second part of the verse and then the thing will change a bit, ok? The riff guitar and the bass guitar here play practically the same rhythm, but now the difference is the chords, ok? The bass will go with A major, E major, B minor and also D minor. Then the other guitar does practically the same chords, but in another region: A major, E major, B minor with seventh,

And in D minor you will play the F octave note. You will see that at the end of the second part, right in the passage to the next chorus, the riff 1 is also presented, which is a passage between these two passages. Check out the sequence. ♪ I'm learning to walk again ♪ ♪ I believe I've waited long enough ♪ ♪ Where do I begin? ♪

♪ I'm learning to talk again ♪ ♪ Can't you see I've waited long enough ♪ ♪ Where do I begin ♪ ♪ Do you remember ♪ ♪ We built these paper mountains ♪ ♪ Inside and watched them burn ♪

In the first chorus you can see that you can already increase the dynamics and play stronger and also on the other strings, right?

During the second part sequence, you need to understand a standard sequence, ok? That will be repeated in all the chords and also in the other guitar that I'll show you in a little while, right? Pay attention, the standard that you play, you start playing twice alternately And then, play one more time up immediately before you start repeating it all again And then repeat

So, we get the feeling of playing twice, then three. But actually, the pattern, as I told you before, it is made in three touches. You will play this here four times during each of the chords here of the second part of the song, ok? Interrupting the sound immediately after the second touch. Look at this. ♪

You saw the difference here in this D minor, right? Then you keep playing the same way, repeating everything again. But now instead of playing the last D minor, you will do the riff 1, ok? So even the B minor now for you. And now it would be the riff 1.

Ok? What I showed you here now was the real base guitar. This other one is the one that does the riffs and the higher voice. You will do the same thing, but now you have to pay attention to the chords, ok? They are others, the ones I showed you at the time of the presentation. The rhythm is like this. ♪

You saw that you have to pay attention to a passage that you play in E major, right? Where you will put your finger here in the 10th fret of the second string to be able to make the E chord with a quarter, ok? And also in the last chord, which instead of being made a D minor, as the other guitar does, here on this other guitar we play the F note, the octave.

You saw that for both guitars the last chord, which would be a D minor, is made on top of a riff that we call riff 1, right? Well, I'll show you now how this riff 1 is. The first guitar plays an ascending sequence, passing through the notes: D, which is the octave, E, F and G. And the pattern is as follows: you will play this note three times down

and two more times on the stuck strings, alternating the direction of the right hand. So on top of D and the 8th fret it's like this: And then you go passing the progression on top of D, E, F and G. A little slower for you to see. And then it falls straight into the chorus.

ok? the sequence of the riff 1 will be made by one guitar like this and the other guitar, the guitar 2, that I call it does the same thing, but now it will be fixed holding here on the F note ok? playing the same way now I'll show you how the two guitars play in the second chorus I'm ready to walk again

The second chorus is different because in the first it was all soft and smooth, right? Now it's the first time that this chorus appears more heavy, ok? But the rhythmic pattern here is very simple too, you will play eight times down and then basically you will repeat twice in each of the chords. First in A major, in E major and also in B minor.

And on the second chorus, in this first moment here, you will play the riff 2, which I will teach you in a little while, ok? Then you will come back again playing the whole sequence.

And then repeat the riff, but now the riff 1. So first during the chorus you play the riff 2, then the riff 1, right? This is what the base guitar does, because it's back here, you know, right? But next to your band, the other guitar can also do the same thing that this guitar did, but in another region, with those higher chords here in front.

Look, the riff 2 that appeared there I have to teach you, ok? It follows the same rhythm progression that you do in riff 1, with the exception of the sequence, ok? Now you will go through the notes D, go to the note E, F, and then go back to D. Remember that in riff 1 you went up, didn't you? You went to G. But in riff 2 you go back to D. Ok? Staying like this. ♪

And then you just have to decorate that during the choruses you will play the riff 2 and then, the second time the chorus closes, you play the riff 1 to be able to go to the next sequence. Look, the bridge of this song is a little big, okay? Basically, the bass guitar will hold on top of the A major, the E major too, F# minor, now the D major in this shape here and the D minor here too.

And then, besides that, you also have to learn some riffs 3 and 4. Look. ♪ For the very first time ♪ ♪ Don't you pay no mind ♪ ♪ You keep alive a moment ♪ ♪ But still inside a whisper to allow ♪ ♪ To say I know it isn't too bad ♪ ♪ I know the state I'm on right now ♪ ♪ I never wanna die ♪

Although it is large, the bridge base here is very simple. The pattern is that you play 8 times down in the chords and then you have to be careful with the repetitions, ok? In A major and also in E major you play 4 times the pattern of 8 strokes down.

Then it goes to F#m which are two times and then you will play later one in D major and one in D minor And then just keep repeating the same sequence So, on the bridge, the real novelty are the riffs, ok? During the whole bridge, another guitar always holds the following progression:

You have to think that you will play a pattern of 16 notes down, 8 + 8, ok? You start by playing the stuck strings, 2 on C# and 3 on D. Then you will play one more time on the stuck strings and 3 on E.

and then the progression grows playing once, playing F# then G# and A ok? everything then a little faster in sequence for you to feel more inside than is done in the music

And then it stays like this throughout the bridge. And from the third stanza of the bridge, when everything starts to get more aggressive, the vocal starts to scream, you will play in a successive way eight times a pattern down in each of these notes here. C#, B and also in the D note.

ok? looking at the progression you will do the following this pattern of 8 strokes down you will repeat 4 times in C# then 4 times in B 2 times again in C# notes and then in D note

Now, after this little stop that happens before the third chorus, you just repeat what you learned. At the end of the song, next to the basic guitar doing riff 1 too, the other guitar will come in playing riff 5 too. Look at this. ♪ ♪

This riff 5 that is made at the end is played along with the riff 1, like this:

Did you notice that it's the same rhythmic progression? What will change is the order of the notes. First you play the A note, then G, F and G again. Ufa! Now it's over. I hope you enjoyed it too and learned. Any questions or suggestions, you already know. Just send it to us. And look, keep an eye on Cifra Club to learn more and more. A big hug and see you next time.

Learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough Where do I begin?
