Freddie's midnight drain starts out with three notes on the first string, like this really pretty song. And I'm just going from the third fret to the fifth fret and then sliding the seventh fret of the first right so that is the first phrase of the melody for the song. So one more time third fret, fifth fret to the seventh fret. Then he's gonna go into this leg up on the fifth fret of the first string, I'm doing a three fingered band where I've got my first finger on the third fret, second finger on the fourth fret and my ring finger is on the fifth fret and I'm gonna ban and then banned and pull off or release him. Pull off to the third fret, so it's like that. And he's gonna do that again, basically.
So we've got then he's gonna walk with this chromatic run from the second fret to the fifth fret. Which is really cool. So I'm just going down or up the first string, second, third, fourth, fifth fret. He might slide in from the fourth to the fifth, I'm not sure. Maybe that's the easiest way to play it or you could use the pinky. Think he's sliding there.
And then he's gonna go back to the first fret Have the third string, another band on the fifth string? Does that look again at the end of the verse three on the first string and a hammer on pull off between the third and the fifth fret. So the whole thing together does it again. Like that, and that wraps up the verse. Now the core, as I've already explained at the beginning of the song and the introduction, but he's just playing this stuff over over the course. And then the turnaround is just on on the D and that's the end of the first verse.
So let's walk through the first verse. Freddie's been night three. I don't have a backing track with I'll just play it the way it's played and try to keep the time for you. There's the end of the first verse for Freddy kings. Freddy's midnight dream
