Chords for Bill Monroe Mandolin Lesson - Lick of the Week #5 - by JDMC

_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Greetings friends, [N] Jeremy at Janet Davis Acoustic Music showing you the lick of the week.
This week on a Weber Gallatin Wide Neck Mandolin.
It's a great Bill Monroe lick and it kind of has that Kenny [F#m] Baker flavor as well that
Jake showed you [N] here a couple of weeks ago.
This one's an A though and we'll go ahead and get started on it and I'll take you through
it step by step and you'll have a cool little Bill Monroe A lick to show everybody. _ _ _
Alright so starting off, we're going to start off on an A note on the E string [G] and we're
going to [Dm] pick that so that's 5th fret E string and then it's going to go [G] to the open E and
_ [D] _ _
[Am] _ then it's going to go to the A [D] string in the 5th fret.
[G] _
_ _ So all together. _ _ _
And then it's going to go A string again to the 3rd fret sliding to [D] the 4th. _ _ _ _ _
So all [G#m] together with [Dm] that. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[D] _ _ [F] Then we're going to jump to [D] the D string in the 7th fret _ and _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ [D] _ _ then we're going to do our
[C] slide yet again _ [D] and back to the D string in the 7th fret. _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] And then [A] we're going to catch the part of the A chord, not the whole thing, just these two.
_ _ [G] So [G#] we'll do [D] that one again. _
So _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ there's the [D] first kind of half of it. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ And now everything is going to be done, [G] most everything, on [D] the G string here.
We have kind of a funny little walk here.
[E] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
And this one's [G] going to start in the 9th fret G string and it's just going to walk back
kind of chromatic here.
[D#m] _ [D] _ [G] So that goes 9, _ [D#m]
8, [D] 7.
_ _ [G] So all together up to that point.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Cm] _ [D] _ [G] And now we're [N] going to skip, so we go 9, 8, 7, we're going to skip to the 5th string,
still on the G string, sorry 5th fret, and we're going to do a hammer-on 5th to the [G] 6th.
So it goes.
[D#m] _ [D] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ [G#] So that [Em] part again slow.
_ [D#] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [C#] _ _ [A] And then we're going to catch our A note, which is D string 5th fret.
_ [Dm] And [G] we're going to catch that as the chord at the very [Em] end.
[D] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
And [G] that chord being your D string in the 5th fret, your G string in D.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _
_ So all together. _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
And there you go.
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
[D#] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [N] _ Alright, well there you go.
There's a tasty little lick for you in A, so you can throw into all your A tunes.
And until then, take [F#] care and happy picking!
