Ninja Sex Party - Danny Don't You Know (Verse)
🕑 Added 2020-04-23 19:38:16 +0000 UTCI'm not really sure who Danny is or what this song is about, but I had a lot of fun being involved with creating and recording this song!
Read the description below for a breakdown. The TAB is also attached as both a PDF and Guitar Pro file.
---
To create an intimate and dreamy sound, this guitar part is played very high on the neck. The right hand plays the same 4 note figure throughout: 3rd string, 1st string, 2nd string, 1st string (strings are numbered from highest pitched to lowest pitched). This right hand patterns happens irrespective of which chord is happening beneath. Take a moment to get comfortable with that pattern first.
Once you're comfortable with that, you'll be ready to add in the left hand. It plays the following chords:
C# minor - B major - F# minor 7 (x3)
C# minor - B major - G# minor - G# major
Okay, I'd better slow down with all this theory! Here's the TAB for each of these chords below, and I've also written the suggested fingerings beneath.
--12----11----9------
--14----12----10-----
--13----11----9------
------------------------
------------------------
------------------------
1 2 2
3 3 3
2 1 1
The above progression happens 3 times. And then we get:
--12----11----11----11----
--14----12----12----13----
--13----11----13----13----
------------------------------
------------------------------
------------------------------
1 1 1 1
3 2 2 4
2 1 3 3
I break these chords down in the video a little bit at 0:30.
One more thing. Since we only use the top 3 strings in this part, we're going to need to mute the lower 3 strings. You can do this by lighting touching the low strings with the palm of your right hand, and angling it so that it does not mute the high strings.
Enjoy!

haha, so aloof Dr.Phobotnik! (going to break Sweet Danny boy's sweet-nerd heart!) and finally got my Guitar n amp paid off too! :DDD Just gotta wait until more of this whole Covid thing calms down and can pick that up and ACTUALLY. start playing that and making use of all these rad lessons towards becoming .. .. .. Mebbe not completely horrible at playing Guitar! X3
Would you ever do a video on take care of u? Absolutely love that song
man really hope we get the chorus soon too! Would love to run this into the chorus.
I love this song. As someone who occasionally goes by Dani, it really hits home. Just even listening to this verse gets me teary eyed. Thanks for another great lesson, ya rock star
Love this song, both the meaning behind it and just being able to hear the guitar behind it! Thanks for another awesome video
Thanks Estrid!
Agreed! It creates an extra little bit of tension, pulling us into the chorus.
Great job! And agreed on the candle scent!
You’re cool as fuck on the inside, Phobos.

Going from G# minor to G# major like that has such a cool feel to it. The chord at the very, very end of DDYK is my very favorite, though!
one of my favorites. 🥳

Not sure who this Danny is, but I'm digging the feel of this one! Dreamy, sweet, and a little out there. Feels like it'd pair well with a limoncello scented candle! ;) Also, good news: after two days of my fingertips feeling absolutely destroyed from playing, I'm finally getting some feeling back! Haha
Love this piece Phobos! I've always loved the sound in this, so it's great to hear just the guitar to really appreciate it
