hello happy thursday - i tired filming this already and it went so badly. going to that sweet little... this is a terrible video. hello and welcome
to me trying to teach you how to play “I kissed someone (it wasn’t you)” the song
came out last week thank you so much for your nice words! the video came out last yesterday it’s
very steamy very saucy also very dark - just like the best kind of curry. I’ve decided
i’m, just going to show you the exact finger i use on guitar and then i’ll show you the
chords i could play on piano to represent them and maybe tell you some botched names
on what i think they are and all you musos can tell me what you think they are. ultimately
it doesn’t matter but let me try and convert. part one! verses! alright! here we go.
I kissed someone it wasn’t you, leaning in like i’m supposed to do, i pulled away
and i gasped for him. i didn’t feel a single thing. nice. so i play with a capo on the
second fret. so we will start up here. make sure you mute the fourth string and all the
other ones after it. Just don’t play those otherwise you get a spicy 7th which we don’t
want not yet! strumming pattern i don’t know how to describe it it goes.. good luck!
alright so we’ll begin. I kissed someone it wasn’t you - move up! leaning in like
i’m supposed to do - this makes a 7thy shape. triangle. nice. and then we move up one. and
you can leave this string open. pulled away and i gasped for him. i didn’t feel a single
thing. just move it down to make it minor. and then back again so just those four chords.
and then you’re just going to play that and repeat it again. I kissed someone it wasn’t
me! locked inside a slut this eve. all worked up for something dead. I think it’s time
to go to bed. And that is your verses! You’re actually only playing three strings in the
verses. So Make sure you mute all those other ones. NEXT UP chorus! put me in a car i just
want to go home now - put me in a bath i forget you are gone now! I know now i know now i
know now. The key changes to B minor now so the chords are a little different a little
spicier. gonna play this shape which is technically an Em but inverted. and now we’re playing
four strings! Put me in a car. then we change to this. I just want to go and then move up
here - then descend down. and then move that down to here and play these! okay so it goes
put me in a car i just want to go home now and again put me in a bath i forget you are
gone now - hold this for a while - i know now i know now and then move down to the first
chord we played and then a nice open 5thsy chord and then back to that 7thsy chord - nice!
and then you’re back to the verses! there are two sections you need to learn - the verse
and the chorus and then it just repeats - so once you’ve learned those things you can
play the whole damn song because it just repeats! i kissed someone because it’s fair - oh
do i tell you would you care? so deeply hurt you beg for who or are you kissing someone
too? put me in a car i just want to go home, now, put me in a bath, i forget you are gone!
I know now i know now i know now so really with this song you’re only playing
maximum 4 strings at any time which makes me think i should maybe translate this onto
ukulele. oh well! four notes can give you all the information you need - lets go the
complete opposite of that and have a look at the piano chords if you like to visualise
it on those - i will just on e again say i don’t really know what i’m talking about
um - and if you are theory trained then you might be ready to shake me but lets have a
look and explore what’s going on there and all the other notes i hear for that song okay!
(guitar falls over) Okay so the verses are in B major the chord you play first is just
a B5 and then then melody confirms the major third - please don’t go on at me about my
hand positions i don’t know what im doing. i kissed someone it wasn’t you then we move
to the major third 7 - leaning in like im supposed to do. and then - i pulled away and
i gasped for him - fourth to minor fourth - i didn’t feel a single thing. that’s
all fairly simple - now let’s move on. either an E minor first inversion or a Gmaj 7 or
like a G6 (gasp) fly! all we know is that it foes to this F# dominant 7 - i just want
to go and this is where it gets interesting - sounds like this chord - which is what like
a Bminor 4th i have no idea all i know is it descends down that could also be a D second
inversion - er…. (sings) could be an E7 could be a G#dim? but then there’s also
an F# in there so it’s like this chord. home now! it’s probably something easier
that what i’m thinking but it’s either a G# diminished or a E7. then same - Gone!
and also could be this - ah man what is that. what is this?! (off screen laughing) but it’s
also got this in it. and those. so it’s just all these notes. (laughing) why am i
bothering. oh my god! i’m teaching you i’m asking you! fukkkk - that could be a G maj7
but it’s also got this C# in there so what’s this - that feels like a G to me or it could
be an Eminor or Gmaj 7 - but i definitely know it goes to a B minor and then just your
classic F#! i don’t even think it’s an F#7 but it holds so strong that it’s implied
it is. And that’s that! that’s why it’s so difficult theres just so many notes. and
the string parts are like - i just added what i felt would go. So yeah there’s like that
chord - C# in that chord. could also be an E minor 7. Yeah lemme know what you think!
if there’s any chords that i’ve thrown out there that you’re like this is definitely
this i’d be interested but also i don’t know. make of that what you will! good luck
that was how to play my song i kissed someone it wasn’t you. was it?! or was it just a
hot mess. BYE! see you next week! my album is out in… think about two weeks!??!?!?!?!
