Melissa Etheridge teaching "Bring me some water" - School of Rock

Was wäre unsere Schulzeit schön gewesen, hätten wir Melissa als Musiklehrerin gehabt :)
Naja .... wie auch immer: hier ist SIE nun und erklärt in sehr einfacher und leicht verständlichen Schritten einen ihrer größten Hits. Sogar die Eisprinzessin wäre hernach in der Lage, zumindest auf der Triangel zu folgen.
Gute Unterhaltung beim Zuschauen und viel Spass beim Nachspielen.

Hi. It's Melissa Etheridge and i'm gonna teach you how to play
a little bit of "bring me some water".
Now bring me some water was a song I wrote in the eighties I remember sitting in my living room and actually going through this I won't go into detail about who was breaking my heart so much but I will tell you that I wanted to write a bluesy song I wanted to - I wanted it to be like those old bluesy man-you-done-me-wrong songs so I started with that and the thing that makes bring me some water is that I am holding the Octave here there is an Octave A so it's the it's the fifth string down here. That's the A-Octave here. So I just go back
and forth between two threads below the G and the A and it's on the Off-Beat. So you have 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 ..
I don't even know what to do because I do it so often.
so you you hammer off these notes right here. And you just keep going and then when it goes to the D it's the same figure is just the next string over.
So it starts in A
"Tonight I feel so weak"
"But all in love is fair."
And that's all it is for a long time
"... cheek "
"and I feel ...." and it stops and you gonna go up the D ....
"foul night air. and i know ... "
"you're only human "
"And I haven't got talking room "
back to A. Back up to D ...
"tonight while I'm making excuses ... "and you got the E
which is right there
"some other woman is making love to you"
and the Chorus is just A - G and D
A - G and D
and then ... the E ---
very simple blues song.
thank you so much. ENJOY!
