0:00:09 > 0:00:13Hey, guys. This is our version of Firecracker.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And, in this rendition, we feel like we really play to everyone's
0:00:16 > 0:00:19strengths, so that's kind of what we were aiming to do with this version.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Hope you like it.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36# Tell me, what do you see?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38# You think you know me
0:00:38 > 0:00:41# But you only know the outside
0:00:41 > 0:00:44# Don't you know that looks can deceive?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46# Cos I got more up my sleeve
0:00:46 > 0:00:51# Yeah, there's a shimmer There's a flicker burning inside
0:00:51 > 0:00:54# Sometimes I'm shy
0:00:54 > 0:00:56# Sometimes I'm quiet
0:00:56 > 0:00:59# But you gotta stand back To see who I am

0:02:18 > 0:02:22# Bring my girl by and you know I gotta say hi-oh
0:02:22 > 0:02:24# I know I come on pretty strong

0:02:57 > 0:03:00# Oh-oh-oh Gonna explo-oh-ode
0:03:00 > 0:03:04# Like a firecracker. #
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Earlier, we were jamming out to Firecracker
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and that song's really interesting, so I'm going to talk about chords
0:03:19 > 0:03:21because it has some unique chord changes.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23When you're faced with a bit of a challenge when it comes to
0:03:23 > 0:03:26chords, a really, really great idea is to just slow it down.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29# Yeah, I'm a firecracker
0:03:29 > 0:03:32# Strike a match I'm taking over
0:03:32 > 0:03:35# Light me up, light me up Light me up
0:03:35 > 0:03:37# Light me up, light me up. #
0:03:37 > 0:03:39When I was first starting to learn to play guitar,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I just practised my chord changes a bunch of times.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45So I learned two chords, I went back and forth, back and forth,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47until it was just muscle memory
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and I knew exactly how it was going to be.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52And also, another kind of fun tip is that
0:03:52 > 0:03:53you're usually strumming down, right?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55So, if you're going to place your fingers,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57place the ones that are closest to you first
0:03:57 > 0:04:00because then you'll have time to place the other two.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02So, for example, with this G chord I was playing,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04if I get these two fingers down first,
0:04:04 > 0:04:05cos I know I'm strumming down,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I'll be settled before I have to place my other two fingers.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Thank you guys so much for watching this lesson in the lounge. See ya.
