Welcome to this video where I show you how to play Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull on guitar and harmonica. Locomotive breath came out on the Aqualung album of 1971. The song was written by Ian Anderson, the band's lead singer, flutist, song-writer. He also played acoustic guitar. So let me give you a quick demonstration and then we'll talk about it. 1 2 3 4 1... OK, so that's the very first part. That's E minor, G, D, and back to E minor. Then mute the strings with your little finger. The rhythm starts on the and of one. So if we count it, one, two, three, four, one, and. The and is on the upstroke; and two and; G is on 3 - downstroke, D is on 4 - downstroke, and Em is on one. Then we have muted downstrokes; two, three, four, one. & 2 & 3 4 1 In the shuffling madness 2 3 4 of the locomotive breath 2 3 4 1 comes the all time loser ... then we're going to go to B7 which is here and we're going to muffle it by laying it down and playing muted down strokes - 2, 3, 4, 1. and 2 and 3, D on 4, Em on 1. Now we're going to go into the chorus which brings us to G on the downstroke on 1, & 3 &, A on the downstroke on 1, & 3 &, and then we're going to go to B7 and I'm going to hit the upstrokes on the off beats. So it's 1 and and and and and 2 and 3, 4, 1. So those are the chords we have for that. We have E minor to G to D to E minor. There's the part where it goes to B7. And we have the chorus which is G, A, B7, D, E minor. OK, so let's take that and put the harmonica on it. We are in the key of E minor which is the relative minor to G major so I'm using a G harmonica. I'm playing a Hohner Special 20, a diatonic key of G is what you need.

Alright, so that's the whole form of the song. There's three verses with choruses. There's the flute solo in there. I do a harmonica solo like the melody bit I just showed you. Staying on the them of Locomotive Breath, I like to put a little train sound, train whistle as the intro to the song. Hopefully, you can use that, you can put that all together to create your own version of it. You can do different feels with it. You can make it more laid back or play it more on top of the beat. Play around with that and have some fun. So thanks for watching the video. I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a comment. Alright. So take it easy.

Harmonica Tabs, Chords, Lyrics - http://harpnguitar.com/free-member-registration Hi George here. Welcome to this video where I show you how I play Alice Cooper's Eighteen on guitar and harmonica. I'm going to go through the guitar chords, go through that signature riff and the rhythm to how that's played. There's 2 different vocal parts to the chorus and I'll show you each of those. Then I'll go through the harmonica, the key I'm using and what I'm doing on that. Then finally we'll play through the whole thing. Starting off with the guitar chords. It starts in E minor, then goes to C, to D and back to E minor. The chords for the bridge are A minor, B minor - if you can't play B minor with the barre then you can play it in open position, C, and D. Ok, for the opening riff we're starting in E minor and going to play the sixth string open and sound the E and then strum the chord. So that's beats 1 and 2. Then pick sixth string open, E, then F# which is sixth string second fret, to G - sixth string third fret and then we'll play A which is 5th string open. Then we're going to play the C chord to D. So the counting on this goes 1 2 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 3 & 4. Sound great on guitar and harmonica: http://harpnguitar.com/free-member-registration Now Eighteen, the chorus. The first time you go through it, the chorus starts on E. Eighteen and I don't know what I want. The second time through, the chorus starts on G. Eighteen and I don't know what I want, Eighteen I got to get away. Ok. So it starts on two different pitches. The first time through it starts on the E, the second time through starts on G. Ok, now for the harmonica, the song is in the key of Em which is the relative minor to G. I'm not playing a G harmonica, however, I playing a C so I'm playing like second position and that gives me the notes I need just for that little intro run that goes on. So, I like to do that at the beginning and sometimes in the middle and sometimes at the end. So one thing I like to do with this song is you can make great use of dynamics. So, it's got this opening riff and that sounds great and you can play that loud and then when the verses come in, you can bring it down, just tone it down a bit, and then slowly build until you get back to the chorus and kinda let it loose again. OK, so let's try that. Let's play through this, keep in mind the dynamics and just have some fun. Alright, so that's Alice Cooper's Eighteen. That's how I play it on guitar and harmonica. I hope you enjoyed the video and can use it to put that great song together. See you next time. Have a great day. Peace. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEZdszHKGTQ
