Video script:
Written by Peter Green, the song Black Magic Woman was a minor hit for Fleetwood Mac in 1968 before being covered a couple of years later, commercially much more successfully, by Santana.
Today I am going to go over the chords of the original fleetwood mac version, on the basis that once you have learned these, you will have no difficulty with playing the Santana version, which has a slightly simplified chord sequence.
As this is a Beginners lesson I am going to show you the easiest options for the chord shapes. But for intermediate players I have included some alternative shapes on the printout that you can access from the link beneath the video screen.
The song intro is a single strum on a very high voicing of the D minor chord played on the top three strings right up at fret 17.
If performing this on your own, count yourself in, then strum the chord and let it ring 1234 strum. As it rings keep counting 1 2 3 4 1.. Then start singing after the first beat of bar 2. While you are doing all that make sure your eyes travel back down to the first fret ... so that you are ready to move your hand down and finger the Dm as soon as the opening chord has faded.
So here's that whole intro played slowly ...and at full tempo.
So that's the first of two slightly tricky bits out of the way. We then keep that Dm going for two bars establishing this basic strumming pattern down down-drag up down down.
Then we change to Am for two bars keeping the same strumming pattern going nice and smoothly. Then back to Dm again for two bars...before changing to Gm. Here's a simply four string version of Gm you can use.
This is then changed to Gm7 after just one bar. Again for beginners I am recommending this simple 4-string version.
Let's just run through what we have got so far at half tempo...and at more or less full speed.
Now here's the other tricky bit. It's tricky because these are slightly unusual chord shapes that you may not be used to and because it changes every two beats like this.
So that is Dm just hit once for now and then change to C . Hit that once then grab this Bb shape note that this is just on three strings. Normally we like to hear more than just three strings ringing, but as the chord is so fleeting you won't notice that we are only using three strings.
Notice the special fingering I recommend - second finger on the D string and the 3rd finger holding down both the G and B strings this 3rd finger also does a good job of muting out the top string which we definitely don't want to sound on a Bb chord. Using this particular fingering for Bb will assist the next change which is to the A7. Then back to Dm.
So that tricky, quick bit again ...at half tempo... and at full tempo.
Finally the Dm is played for one bar then held from the first beat of the next bar like this.
This creates the rhythmic space for the intro to be played again as a way to launch into verse two.
After verse two there is a 2-verse solo played over the same sequence as the verse and then we are back into the third verse via the same intro. After that the track plays out over a bass groove that stays on the Dm chord.
So that's the rhythm part to the song. The chart and chord diagrams are available from the link below the video screen and as mentioned that includes the barre chord options for more experienced players. In the next lesson we'll take a look at some of Peter Green's great lead guitar licks used on this version of the song.
Thanks for breaking down the rhythm and the strumming pattern.great lesson.
It's always really helpful to start a lesson by playing through the the full chord sequence, to provide some context, rather than just starting with abbreviated chord/strum segments.
🎼I highly appreciate that extremely beginner friendly lesson. Broke down into doable bites to reach a great impact an easier way. Brilliant, thank you!
Thanks a lot for providing such excellent lessons like this one and Texas Blues and J.L. Hookers Boom Boom Boom and many others of your tutorials.
great lesson
Thanks for the lesson great playing thank you 😊
Amazing lesson, thank you! Have subscribed and can't wait to look at your other videos. A lot of other videos don't show nearly as clearly how to make it sound like the tune
Thanks for your kind comment. Glad you liked it :-)
Thank you
If you want to play along with the Original Fleetwood Mac Version you need to Tune Down a TONE to D. This means that the Regular Emin has now become a Dmin etc etc and so on and so forth if you see what I mean. However the Lead Guitar remains in STANDARD TUNING.😎😎😎
my fingers hurt man
1:22 is a perfectly easy chord any beginner can take :(
O acesso à tablatura é fake, somente pra membros! Bad!
Regarding your Vocals, don't even think about given up the Day Job.😂🤣😂
Funny, I was thinking how cool his rendition was. The dude can rock.
I'm so happy to have found a tutorial on the Peter Green version (in other words, the original!) of this song. You explain it very clearly; I'm 55 and just decided to finally get around to learning to play guitar a few weeks ago, and in less than half an hour of watching your video I've got a good handle on a large hunk of the song. Thank you!
use d minor on 10 th fret. u can get the g minor on the same fret in u drop fingers to minor position
you are a very good teacher and seem to be very friendly. thanks...regards. gilles. (France)
