_ _ _ _ Hello, [N] my name is Thomas Thurman and I'd like to teach you how to play _ Whipping Post by
the Allman Brothers.
Now this isn't exactly a step-by-step instructional video. _
If you need further help than what I can give you, consult the tabs.
_ You can ask me questions below or like me on Facebook here and send me _ comments, messages,
private messages, whatever you want to.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
My guitar is tuned a whole step down.
That's just for my voice.
You can play it a whole step up or regular tuning or half step down, wherever you want
to play it.
[Gm] _ _
So when you see me play an A minor, it's not exactly an A minor.
It would be a whole step down from that, which would be a G minor on a standard guitar.
_ Is that right?
_ _ Yeah, I think that's right.
_ So it's basically the A minor shape _ here at the [G] A minor stage.
Up one, you still play the bass note as A. _
[C] _ [G] You just [Gm] go up two frets.
[C] _
[D] And then you go up one more fret and make the A chord.
[G] The A chord is _ with that pinky down.
You just slide that up to [Gm] the fifth fret.
You slide back down [G] to the A minor chord on [C] the fourth fret.
_ [Gm] _ _
[D] _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[B] Okay, and then the chorus [Gb] [Db] goes to [C] a D7, _ _ _ which I'm blocking this E string so it doesn't ring,
so the bass note's a D. _
_ _ _ _ And then you slide up two frets [D] and go to an E7, which I play
the bass note here, so it's a lot deeper. _ _ _
_ _ And that's the lead up to the chorus, and then it goes into the [Gm] A minor, _ to [C] the D.
_ _ _ C5,
I think is [Bb] what it is.
[Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _

[Gm] _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
[Gm] _ _ _ Hopefully that sheds some [G] insight on [F] how to play that song acoustically.
This isn't really the exact way to play it.
The Allman Brothers Band is a huge band with many pieces that, you know, if [C] you're only
one person, you can't do every part.
You know, there's guitar solos in there that I can't do on an acoustic.
Maybe you can, I don't know.
But the intro [G] starts out like this, and then the rest of the song follows.
