00:00hey what's up everybody and welcome back to another video today's gonna be my

00:15second time in a row doing sugar ray mean machine I only literally just heard

00:21it like recently so bear with me on the lesson that being said if you liked the

00:28video please hit that like button subscribe down below sugar ray mean

00:33machine stick around pretty sure tune down a half step first I think my

00:39guitar is tuned down a half step and then second it's tuned drop D tuning so

00:44it's tuned down a half step and drop D tuning so to drop D tuning you basically

00:49just go you drop the low E string down until it until it sounds like a power

00:59chord for the first three strings that's how I you know drop it down until these

01:04three strings sound in unison barring them if that makes any sense it sounds

01:08like a chord okay so it's fast to this this so the main riff throughout is

01:32yeah so what that it's not as hard as it it sounds you have to do it fast but

01:38once you get it's over and over so it's the same thing kind of over and over

01:41again so it's not as bad it's okay like I said drop D tuning so all these chords

01:47power chords are when it's a root on the low E which is a D it's just barring

01:54these so I'll just say the actual fret it's the open strings twice then three

02:04four five then open once so open twice three four five open three four five

02:17open three four five three so so open twice so and then and then when it

02:24restarts you do open twice so it's open strings twice then three four five open

02:30three four five open so it's like and then you kind of and then open three so

02:38I'll do a try to do it slowly

02:46and then again open open so open twice on the first time three four five open

02:55three four five open three four five open open three and then the open three

03:04kind of ends the riff and then you start over with open twice you just that's

03:11over and over again so you're gonna do it fast too

03:16so hopefully you know it's once you it's in order so it's not really three

03:30four five three four five and then let and then the open in between it's not

03:34really as hard as it sounds but it's a cool once you get it up once you get it

03:38up to speed it's cool to do okay so the only other part mainly is like the

03:45verses of D power chord

03:50five seven seven with the root on the a to a C power chord three five five root

03:56on the day to a I want to say F I don't really know the three three three with

04:06the root with the e a and D and then back to a D you go to that kind of twice

04:16you you just let them ring out like D C I want to say

04:25you do that twice and then you get into a you know like the eight in a row type

04:32sixteenth notes or I don't know what those eighth notes I don't know what

04:37they are so the same progression but in order muted

05:02yeah again so in order you know right through so D C power chord three three

05:10three I guess that's an F to a D so though it's DC F D individually and then

05:19as you're going through it and then really the only other part at the very

05:24towards the end is a D and then a six which is kind of we had six six six

05:34those notes kind of a weird little let it ring out and then you do the six

05:43yeah so that's at the toes the end a little bit yeah so for the most part

05:59so hopefully after doing it slow enough times you'll get it to full speed so

06:16basically that was a sugar a mean machine okay so that'll do it for another

06:21video until next time I guess there's not much more to say see you later a

06:28good douche
