Hi folks, I'm just wanting to [Bb] [Ab] say good morning.
It's early.
It's about 7 [A] o'clock
November 3rd [Dbm] anyway
Wouldn't it go over some Tony [Gb] Rice stuff.
There's a lot of people out there that do
[Ab] Tony Rice [Bb] licks, [Gb] you know, and [Eb] they're they get a [A] lot of views and
Nothing wrong with that.
[Bbm] I just wanted to put my input in on [A] that.
I'm a big Tony Rice fan
Here's one that is most commonly used
[Bbm] Probably majority of time by Tony
[A] It's out of the key of G.
I'm capable in second fret
So the lick is kind of bluesy chromatics
Anyway, [Gb] so [E] here's the notes open [Gb] D second fret D [A] open G
[B]
Second fret G [Db] and then open B string and [A] the first fret [Bb] and then
[A] From the second fret you're gonna [Ebm] hammer on to the third
like [Ab] that and then you're gonna catch this first [G] string at the first fret and
Then with your middle finger come back to the [Eb] second string right at the [Gb] second fret and pull off
from [A] there
to [Eb] the first fret
[D] like that and a lot of [Bb] this is with a down pick stroke movement and then you're gonna catch [E] the
G-string at the [Cm] third fret and you're gonna [Dbm] slide it up to the [Gb] fourth fret so you [A] get this B note
[F] So it's going into a B G 7 [Db] like [Dbm] that
[A]
And then you're gonna hit it open and you can toy around with different patterns of going
[E] [A] like that or
[E]
Back into [C] a G where you're [Ab] like doing part of the G [A] run
We go backwards
with this
Like that so in context here it is
Now
There I changed one note.
I played this note [Gm] versus that note.
So let me do the [Gb] original
[Eb] [A]
And you come off with a strong and some of the ways he uses that in the song.
It's like this a nine pound hammer
with a nine pound hammer
Is a little too [D] heavy
load [A] for my [E] size
[A] honey for my size
No, buddy, don't you roll [D]
slow [A] that have been a role right here
[Eb]
[E]
[A]
[Gbm] [Eb]
[A]
So I'll put it on the end in the beginning so you can use it [Eb] as many times you like
It covers only certain types of chord [A] changes
mainly just a G
like two measures
[D] [Gbm] But
When you go into the next chord you have to kind of cut that lick short and
[Db] Go into your next chord.
Like here's it
[Gbm] [Eb] [D]
[A] [Gm] [E] So going in to see I slid up [Eb] into a C thing or you can [E] go another route [Gbm] [Eb] [D] [A]
[Dm] that was a backwards C run
[D] And you [A] can also use that chord [Bb] or that that [Gb] lick
[Eb]
[A] And by the way, you can also change that note to that
Catch it with your pinky, [Ab] but it covers a G chord or a G and a D
[F] look at the end of nine pound hammer going to
[Bbm] [A]
[Am] [D]
[A] That second G and D so [A] if I was to play it with rhythm and then use the chording there's a good example of it
[D]
[Db]
Now that covers the chords it also emphasizes on the melody gives a little blues taste
[Eb]
It covers the chords and it allows you to
[A] more [Gb] proficient [Bb] with
Simplifying [Bbm] something that you would sometimes may take a little too much into it make it harder [Gbm] than it really [A] is
[Dbm] Other
It's early.
It's about 7 [A] o'clock
November 3rd [Dbm] anyway

Then with your middle finger come back to the [Eb] second string right at the [Gb] second fret and pull off
from [A] there
to [Eb] the first fret
[D] like that and a lot of [Bb] this is with a down pick stroke movement and then you're gonna catch [E] the
G-string at the [Cm] third fret and you're gonna [Dbm] slide it up to the [Gb] fourth fret so you [A] get this B note
[F] So it's going into a B G 7 [Db] like [Dbm] that
[A]
