Stone Roses - She Bangs The Drums

Let's learn the main bass riff from She Bangs the Drums, but we're gonna learn it on guitar. This is a fantastic one-string riff, super recognisable, it goes like this. That's the riff that we're gonna learn, that's all we're gonna learn in this video. I have done a full tutorial for this entire song with kind of basic open chords, I'll link to it just here and in the description below. But to learn this riff, which is just a fantastic finger independence exercise, this goes 00, but we really wanna do this whole riff with alternate picking, so we're gonna go. Down then up. And I'm gonna hold my pick, er not like this, but like this. Side of the first finger, thumb on top and then down. Small a motion as possible, and it's down, up. 2030. Now I'm gonna assign index the threat 2. Middle finger to fret 4, and ring finger to fret 5. And these are just stepping up the E major scale from this E note here. Alright, so 02. Fool. 5, then. 402. This time, 3rd finger or or middle finger. Back to 2 to 0. You could do that all with down picks, but you might struggle. With the speed of that down picks. That's how fast I can kind of go. Down and up picks. I can do it a lot faster, that's how we do. That is why you would persevere. With downs and ups at this stage, cos the fastest thing that I can downpick, like as fast as I can downpick. Is that, so not as fast as. As Malu, you know what I mean, you need to learn fast stuff, slow first of all, but persevere with the alternate picking. Technique and really just get used to doing that. And then build in. And we really treat that like strumming, so I would just go. Like I was strumming, so down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, up, up, down, up, down, up. Down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, up, up, down, up, down, up. And then everything we learn with single note picking crosses over. And that all goes over and chords. The rest of the verse then goes to D. begin to move, feel your needle hit the glue spirals. That repeats and then it's just, hey, have you seen or have you heard the way she plays, there are no words to describe the way I feel. If you want a tutorial for some more of the twiddly bits in that particular song, let me know and I'll do it, but I'm on a bit of a schedule today, so please check out that full tutorial I've already done on acoustic guitar. It's the same on electric, and let me know if you want uh all the bells and whistles for this Stone Roses song or any others, and I'll see what I can do, and I'll see you in the next video, which you can watch right now.
