Good News - Shaboozey (play-along for guitar)

Details

Description

This is a screen-capture video from a TuneLing for "Good News" from the single "Good News", by Shaboozey.

This song is also available in a separate TuneLing video for ukulele!

Notes:

This song uses mixed meter (differing numbers of beats in each bar) quite a bit. The very first bar has three beats, and the second immediately goes to four beats, and this pattern repeats throughout the intro and verses - the choruses are all the more common four-beats-per-bar.

So to make it easier to start correctly, we give you a metronome count-off of two bars of three beats each, since the first bar played has three.

The capo makes the chords fairly straightforward for both guitar and ukulele, facilitating easy use of the alternating G and Gsus4 shapes. On guitar, we also use a D/F# ("D over F sharp") shape when moving between plain G and Em. That gives us the nice three-note descending bass line (not possible on the uke, sorry), so be sure to play that lowest string clearly in those sections.

And there's a complete silent stop on the third beat of bar 61 - watch out for that!

Outside of these pointers, this one is quite unusual in terms of its rhythmic structure, but not difficult to play, to ENJOY!
