JESSIE J- BIG WHITE ROOM

NO CAPO: STANDARD TUNING

Simple/beautiful song to play (power chords are simple,however their names dont look pretty).
This version I figured out from Jessie J's guitarist (Ben) in the following youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAaos80oPqg
Tried to explain the strumming/picking as simple as possible- sounds better with a plectrum
(FOR BEGINNERS: D=down strum & U=up strum & ^= hammer /=slide)
Any problems with strumming- consult the video :)

repeat this throughout the song

For the last part (to make it simpler)you can just strum (DUUD)
on Aadd2 chord instead of picking IF you want.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

****So the ENDING bit of the song is slightly different where she sings:
"everybody's looking at me, everybody's staring at me, what do i do now?...SMILE" twice
and then there is a solo bit.

MOST of the power chords formation is that of E5,
just you are sliding up and down the frets,
so the chords used are:

THE SAME chords as above PLUS+++ the following:

F#5        G#5        A5          B5     Asus2
e|-0--|     e|-0--|      e|-0--|      e|-0-|   e|-0-|
B|-0--|     B|-0--|      B|-0--|      B|-0-|   B|-0-|
G|-11-|     G|-13-|      G|-14-|      G|-4-|   G|-2-|
D|-11-|     D|-13-|      D|-14-|      D|-4-|   D|-2-|
A|-9--|     A|-11-|      A|-12-|      A|-2-|   A|-0-|
E|-X--|     E|-X--|      E|-X--|      E|-X-|   E|-X-|
