Young Hearts Run Free | TAB
Let’s look at the three sections you need to play Young Hearts Run Free with a band. I’m pleased with these parts and don’t feel they need to be changed; instead, I’d like to make this one about discipline.
However, if you, like me, always want to experiment to see if you can come up with something better, go for it! Still, start with what you see below, move it to other areas of the neck, and then start experimenting with different rhythms.
Maybe you’ll come back to this TAB, maybe you won’t!
Intro
The intro later comes back as a bridge and instrumental section. Here’s what I feel works best.
I’m ignoring the bass note, as it sounds better if the bass player takes care of that. I like to make the part as compact as possible so it sits better in the mix.
If you were to try other areas of the neck for this, you could think of these two chords as Bb/C and Bb6/C.
Verse
I love these progressions that move between different extensions. Compare Young Hearts Run Free with My Guy.
Again, to me, this is all about consistency; the variation comes in the last two bars where we play the horn line. If you play lots of different rhythms, you lose the effect.
If you want to experiment, try different areas of the neck. Will you end up with what I wrote above or not?
Chorus
Finally, the chorus—it’s so simple!
Can you stay disciplined? Can you find something better?
When you can play the TAB, go back to the chords lesson and play along with the backing track.
