How to play One bourbon, one scotch, one beer chords
Start Jamming...
okay [Bb] one bourbon one [Bb] scotch one beer this is for Mr.
Hall
he wants to know how to play this song [B] so this is my version of it George
Thurgood plays a little differently he plays it with a
E chord pinching the [F] two E strings together and [Em] kind of
strumming the strings in between it's like a
we're not going to do it that way
what you want to do is your E string is
top E string is going to be played open
[Bbm]
and you're gonna
[E] kind of mute the strings after every slap so you're going to be holding down the
second fret on the A string
which is [F] right there and
[Ab] go ahead and strike the string and mute it
[N] the E and the A string strike them and mute them like [E] this
okay [C] as soon as you do that there comes a little
hammer [Gb] in there which is off the A string and play the D
[B] open [D]
okay see how that works
[A] strike the A [Bm] string hold down and then hit the [D] D string
[E] so you've got this
[B] [Em] okay
now that's pretty [F] much all there is to it while you're telling [Em] the story about
[G] how he has you know his landlady threw him out and [Em] all that stuff
[E] so when you get up to the the main part of the song what I call the meat of the song
it's just a basic blues pattern it's a
it's like I ain't seen my baby since I don't know
okay that [Ab] type stuff and then
jump down a string [Gb] just just bring it down [E] to the A string and the D string
[A]
[B] okay and then when you get to the very
[F] the very end of that that solo you're gonna have a little
[Gb]
okay and all you're doing [B] basically is barring at the first fret all the strings but
the only you're only playing the top three strings so you're just [G] gonna put
your [F] your main pressure on the bar on the first three [E] strings
and [Gb] bring your on the [B] D string come up to the third fret with your ring finger
and you're gonna slide up one fret so it's just a [E]
[A]
[E] [Bb] [B]
okay now
[A] the part where it goes
[Ab]
so at the door I went you're just [Gb] gonna hammer
from the the [E] very bottom E string all the way up to the top it's a very [Em] simple walk it's
you're gonna bend that E string on the third fret
and next [F] string
[Bm] on the B hammer off and [G] then come over to the second fret
[A]
[G] [Em] that's all there is to [Gm] it so it and [B] [E]
that's basically all there [Bbm] is to the
whole song and when you get to the end
there's a little little tiny walk that [Fm] I do when I play the [Em] song it's
it's like a [Ab] that's [Bb] [E]
[A] [E] [Db]
the song man it's really a simple [F] song to play it's a lot of fun
I'm gonna tell you right now you're gonna wanna use a [B] you're gonna wanna use a
thumb pick when you play it because a finger pick
will just flat wear your forearm out and you'll find yourself getting tired
this song is about [C] seven minutes long
I play it [E] live and I go a lot longer than I did it on YouTube
so [Gb] I hope this helped and
I hope to see you post it up I'd love to see you play [Bbm] it have a good one folks
[N]
