Say the names of the notes while you play them. Yet
Let It Be – Review for most of
you!!
Adding bass notes to the chords
Start with the chords
• Learn the chords first.
• They should be memorized or at least
learned well enough that you go smoothly
from one to the other!
• For the descending F C/E Dm to C you
can just do F to C for now if you can’t get
that.
• For advanced students you may want to
harmonize that part.
Here is the goal.
Title:
LET IT BE
(Beatles)
C
G
Am
F
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
C
G
F C/e Dm C
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness, She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be
Am
G
F
C
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
C
G
F C/e Dm C
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people, Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
But though they may be parted, There is still a chance that they may see
There will be an answer, let it be
CHORUS:
|

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
LEAD
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on till tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
CHORUS
Wipeout
Really more of a drum thing. This
is just a blues in the key of C.
Start with the chords.
• 4/4 ||: C | | |
| F | | C | | G | F | C | G : ||
Memorize these before playing the song. Do them
as barre chords not first position chords. Really
take you time.

This is the first 4 bares of this song. All in C. Just repeating the fixture each measure.
The same idea against the F chord
Again repeating the idea on C then for the next G move to 7th position.
Back up to 8th position for the F.
This closes out the first part then chords are played as short staccato notes on beat 1 of
every other measure. This is where the drums take off.
The drum section. Note that the progression is still followed.
This is the guitar solo section. For C it is in the 8th position using lots of double stops.
For the first F it is in 1st position. Then back to 8th position for the C, 3rd position for the
G, 1st position for the F and then 8th position for the rest of the solo.
Now put it all together.
Pipeline
60’s Surf Sound
Take this slowly
• First part is tremolo picking and just
moving the index finger down the 6th string
rapidly.
• Next comes the bass part. That part is
doubled with the 2nd guitar.
Notice the box around the whole selection. That is not an extra string!
This was done with Power Tab and to export a line that is what happens.
Bass Part. All 1/8th notes. Keep your 2nd finger on the 5th string 2nd fret.
Use your 3rd finger on the 6th string 3rd fret when it comes up.
The 2nd guitar comes in now with the melody
Notice the change here.
The song has moved up a
4th from E minor to A
minor.
Look at the tremolo picking.
This closes up this first part of the song. It will then repeat.
This is an A minor chord broken up. Much like what we had in Walk Don’t Run
Now a G chord broken up. Wow, who stole from who on this!
Now the F Chord Broken Up.
Now it goes back to the beginning
• Use your text to help put the whole thing
together.
• It isn’t that hard but will take you some
time as there are a number of parts.
• One person should play the chords to this.
• There are other parts that can be added in
once the basic song is learned.

Soloing on Peter Gun
• Any E minor type scale will work.
• Some examples:
– E Blues Scale
– E Minor Pentatonic
– E Dorian Mode
– E Aolean Mode (6th degree of major scale)
– E harmonic minor
– E melodic minor
– E Hungarian minor
Notes that will work

E Dorian E F# G A B C D
E Harmonic Minor E F# G A B C D#
E Melodic Minor E F# G A B C# D#
E Hungarian Minor E F# G A# B C D#
Just look at this so far the only notes you can’t
use (and you can) are F, G# (most difficult)
• Make up your own scale!!s

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans
And the only things a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all a-drunk
I've got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear the ball and chain
So mothers, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun

If you can learn songs in each key
• If not songs then licks etc.
• The more you can play in every key the
better you will understand the fingerboard
and the guitar in general.
3 pattern picking
•
Do it as the following:
Count Play
1 Thumb hits bass note
2 Index plays 3rd string
3 Middle plays 2nd string
4 Ring plays 1st string
5 Middle plays 2nd string
6 Index plays 3rd string

Take it slowly
• Learn bass part first
• Do a palm mute on the bass part
• If playing electric guitar, boost treble, lots
of reverb on the bass part
• Listen to the tune to get the idea
• Have fun with this!!!!!!!
