00:23 >> Hi. Welcome to Learn Guitar with David Brent.
00:29 [ Music ]
00:38 So, you've tuned in.
00:40 Thank you.
00:42 You want to learn to play guitar?
00:43 Okay. Well, I'm not going to teach you.
00:45 >> What?
00:46 >> You're going to teach you.
00:50 He's gone mad.
00:51 >> I've always been mad.
00:53 No, I don't mean I've suffered mental illness.
00:57 I haven't, touch wood.
01:00 And I wouldn't joke about that.
01:04 I do know people who have suffered mental illness
01:07 and they are no fun to be around.
01:09 So, no, by mad, I mean zany.
01:13 So, you're going to get a little bit of that.
01:17 It's going to be fun, you know.
01:19 I'm not going to give you a boring lesson.
01:20 I'm not going to start at the beginning.
01:24 Hopefully, you've got a guitar.
01:27 I'm not going to bother, you know, E, A, D, G, B, E.
01:35 Who cares?
01:37 What are you going to do with them?
01:39 Yeah? What are you going to do with them?
01:42 Whatever you like, within reason.
01:45 I'm not going to start by telling you all the chords.
01:52 You won't use half of them.
01:54 I will show you the main ones.
01:56 A, A minor.
01:59 You won't need B. C, D, E, E minor, F, G.
02:15 That is all you'll need.
02:20 And I'm not going to tell you in what order they should be.
02:25 The order's up to you.
02:26 So, yeah, it's about doing your own thing.
02:29 It's saying, it's almost saying, don't listen to me.
02:33 Turn it off.
02:35 No, I'm saying listen, because I'm telling you
02:42 to make your own mind up.
02:43 Yeah? I'm not saying,
02:49 I'm not saying be like me.
02:50 I'm saying be like you.
02:53 You know, don't be like me.
02:56 You'll really get in trouble.
02:57 Just, just teach it.
03:06 I taught myself, you know, and I want to teach you to teach yourself.
03:10 If that's teaching.
03:12 It is sort of, isn't it?
03:15 And enjoy it.
03:17 You know? This song is very personal to me,
03:26 because it's about my chosen profession of repping.
03:31 I'm up and down the country every day,
03:34 meetings, selling cleaning products.
03:39 Not just cleaning products, you know, all sort of toiletry needs,
03:44 sanitary towel dispensers, you know, urinal, lozenges,
03:50 everything really.
03:52 Yeah, and it's about that really.
03:54 It's about that, that life.
03:56 It's called Life on the Road.
03:58 Check it out.
04:00 It'd be better with a band.
04:02 It'd make more sense because I'm trying to do the bass line
04:05 and the high stuff, but, and the video is going to be amazing.
04:10 So, look forward to that.

05:37 [ Music ]
05:45 So, there you go.
05:47 That gives you an idea of my life.
05:52 So, it brings it to life.
05:55 [ Grunts ]
06:01 G minor, D, and then the chorus is G, D, A minor, C.
06:09 [ Music ]
06:15 This is a song about just traveling across America.
06:19 It's almost symbolic.
06:21 It's just saying, "Go wherever you want."
06:24 Some people, you know, think, "Oh, I was born here.
06:27 I better work here.
06:28 I'm going to die here."
06:30 You know, I was born in Reading, but I'd moved to Slough before I was 30.
