Hello there and welcome to Delta Blues Tips' channel
Broadcasting
Today I'm wearing the attire of a Saint and Bagwell in the mojo
Steeped in red
Cup of strong tea in red
Just cause I feel like it
I'm in standard [E] tune
I'm [A]
using a set of John Pears
[D]
Phosphor Bronze gauge 11 [G] strings
[Em]
With the G string out of a set of 10s
Cause it's actually [N] thicker than the ones that come with the 11 Ok
I'm gonna do you Now
The beginning of a tune
That needs no introduction from me
Here we [D] go
[C] That's [G]
[D] [G]
[D] [C]
[G] [Bm] [G]
my version of an acoustic way of playing [N] a great tune
As we all know what that's called
Sweet Home Alabama
Takes me right back to when I was a lad
In the early 70s
Playing them tunes in bands
Electric of course
But them days are over
Now I'm just down to bend and reality
Just enough to get through the day
So here we go
Let's take a look at those chords
Close and personal
Let's see if I can get that to do
It's [D] a D chord
But what we're gonna do is remove this note
This finger side
So we just get that
I'm gonna keep [G] this one where it is all the while
And then [C] go into the C position like that
[Em] Then [A] the [G] G position
Of [D]
[G] course this is my version of this tune
It's just a thing you can sort of rip out on acoustic
I'm sort of beating the strings [D] like this
[C] So [G]
[D]
[G]
[D]
we've got a [C] D, [G] C, G
[D] Back to D
It's this hand that's doing the damage
And it is doing damage
Cause you can see [N] all the blood's wearing me
I'm gonna be using thumb, finger, [D] finger
[C] [G]
At this point
Thumb with your thumb [A] A string [B] B [Em] note
[A] [D]
D string
[A] [E]
Now [G] most of the [Ab] time I would [D] do this with that finger
[A] [B] [D]
No I [A] wouldn't, I'd do it with my [B] thumb
[D] Then [G] we jump
[A] Go from there
[B] [D] Jump
[E] onto the E note [D] C [C] note
[G] Now that G string played open with the finger
Before you do [B] this D, [C] C
Is [G]
crucial to the way that I play
You may find it a different way of doing it
But that's up to you
The way I do it to keep it rolling
I just throw that open string in
It rolls it in like [D] this
[G] Listen out for this
[D]
I'll [C]
[G] [D]
[G] [D] [C]
[G] [D]
[G] [D] [C]
try you [G] with the beat of that now
So
[Am]
[D] [Ab]
if you think of it
Before you learn all the fancy bits
As just [D] going
[Gm] And [C] [G]
[D]
[C] [G]
[D] [N]
then
After you've got that
Then separate it [D] like this
[C]
[G]
[D] [C]
[G]
So [E] [D] it's
So [G] [C]
[G]
[D] [C]
[G] [D]
[G] [D] [C]
[G] [D]
[G] [D] [G] [C]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[A] there you go
There's a little tip on how to play the intro to that This bit
[G] [A]
I'll do it
A separate one
Hope you liked it
Stay cool, see you later
