Hey, hey, mahalo people it's Jay St.

Today
we're going to do Honky Tonk Blues by Hank Williams.
Simple, simple tune, probably one of the easiest ones you'll ever play.
The verse and the chorus are the same chord progression throughout the whole thing.
So,
it begins on E, which is the A and D string on the second fret and the G string [E] on the first fret.
And then you're going to go to A,
which is the D, G and B [A] string on the second fret.
And then you're going to pull off your middle finger
to make the A7.
A to A7 and then back to [E] E.
And then you're going to go to B,
B5 chord, which is the A string on the second fret and the D and G string on the [B] fourth fret.
