I choose this approach because this is more representative of the original recording. You can use a finger-strumming approach and that can offer many more options and textures than strumming with a pick. However, I do encourage you to approach the song however you see fit and feel most comfortable. These are just my suggestions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Accompaniment Techniques<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This would be my fingerstyle approach to this tune and I\u2019ve broken it down into two basic techniques. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Bass Chord:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Here, we separate the thumb and fingers to create more of a rhythmic feel. The aim is to use the thumb to replicate the sound of the bass drum and then freely add the fingers. This creates a pianistic effect.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Finger Strums:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I use the I-M fingers in the same way that I use a pick except that I brush the strings lightly. This creates more energy and motion. Perfect for increasing the intensity of the song, especially during the chorus.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Basic Fingerstyle Technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve included this section for those of you that may be interested in fingerstyle playing. The right hand is notated as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P = Thumb<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I = Index<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M = Middle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A = Ring<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I find that using a pick to strum the chords can be a little too harsh sounding for the mood of some songs. For that reason, I suggest developing your fingers to pluck and strum the chords. Let\u2019s begin by assigning the right-hand fingers to certain strings:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Thumb (P) plays the bass note: <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Index (I) is assigned to the 4th string.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Middle (M) is assigned to the 3rd string.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ring (A) is assigned to the 2nd string.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the essence of fingerstyle playing, assigning fingers to specific strings. This way, you don\u2019t need to look at the right hand while playing. Once you get used to it, you can \u201cfeel\u201d where you are. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I suggest using the bass chord and finger strumming techniques for some songs, For this tune I\u2019ll simply use a pick. I explain this in more detail in the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pulsing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pulsing technique is a left-hand technique that is used to create a more percussive feel and will help you create the bouncy groove that makes people tap their feet, bob their heads and shake their booties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fret the chord as you normally would. Then, after you strum, release the pressure of your frethand without letting go of the chord position. The trick is to maintain contact with the strings as you pulse. Open chords are tricky to pulse because of the open strings. But, keep at it and you\u2019ll find that it\u2019ll quickly become one of your go-to techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chord Chart<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve included a chord chart, which is a simple road map that shows you:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall arrangement of the song.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A section by section breakdown of the song.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each chord and how long to play it for. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t read music, please don\u2019t be intimidated. This is a cheat sheet that can help you get through the tune quickly and easily. I find it indispensable for learning songs and I can also hand it to a seasoned musician and they can follow along without any problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Song Form<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Intro:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 4-bar section; A 2-measure chord riff that\u2019s repeated. The progression is Bm\u2013G\u2013D\u2013A with each chord receiving two beats.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Verse:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 16-bar section; A 2-measure chord riff that\u2019s repeated. The progression is Bm\u2013G\u2013D.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Chorus:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 16-bar section; Same as the Intro played four times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Outro:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a08-bar section; Same as the Chorus followed by a Bm\u2013G vamp.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you become familiar with chord charts, you\u2019ll never want to go back. It\u2019s just easier to see where you\u2019re going when you have a map. And, it\u2019s especially helpful when you\u2019re not familiar with the song or there\u2019s a section of the song that you don\u2019t remember (Bridges and Interludes are notorious for surprising players and derailing a song\u2019s performance). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tune doesn\u2019t have an Interlude or Bridge and the progression is pretty repetitive. Just make sure that you make some subtle changes to your strumming pattern as this will help outline the changes between the song\u2019s sections.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-22-at-11.47.39-AM-1.png\" alt=\"wake me up\" width=\"593\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-22-at-11.47.39-AM-1.png 593w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-22-at-11.47.39-AM-1-300x231.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wrap-up<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope that you\u2019ve enjoyed learning Wake Me Up chords as much as I did in preparing this lesson for you.
