Alright, there you have Mr.
Lucky.
That's one of the most fun songs to play by Jerry Reid.
You might notice that every now and then I play things a little bit faster than I should
and there's a good reason for that.
When I was a kid growing up and I had to learn to play, we didn't have videos and things
like that that they have today.
We had just record players.
And you couldn't slow them down and mine unfortunately ran a little too fast.
And to tell you another little story that goes along with that, most of my friends who
I play with all have degrees and things like that in music.
PhDs or bachelors or masters, whatever.
[E] When people ask me what degree I have, I tell them a BSR.
That's the kind of turntable I had and I wore out two of them.
So it's not a bad degree to have but they played a little too fast so I'll try and slow
it down a little bit when I play it for you now.
I thought what we'd do now is just kind of take a look at the chords that Jerry uses
in this and the positions that he plays out of.
If you're playing just the chords, you can play them pretty much like this.
[A] [A#] [G]
[F#] [G#m] [E]
[A] [E] And then you break for the lead.
So if you're playing rhythm, you can play it all right down here.
Let's take a look at something else Jerry does.
He likes to come up the neck using the same walking bass line but he's catching the notes
[A] more up on the seventh and eighth frets.
[G] [E] [F#]
[C#] [G#] [E]
Okay so now you know basically where he's coming from with the chords.
What we'll do now is split the screen and I'll try the best I can to play it nice and slow.
