_ [Cm] Hey, what's up you guys Marty Schwartz here with [Ebm] guitar jams calm
I'm going to show you a [E] couple of cool little tricks for blues and G
And I just made an acoustic jam [A] track for you
[N] You _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ can go right to that jam track and immediately [B] _ practice some of these ideas over it and it'll be really [C] fun
It's a blues and [E] G and when I think about acoustic blues one of the characteristics _
[B] I think is using those open strings to
You know [Bb] to emphasize [B] because they sound so beautiful on an acoustic guitar so check this out
_ Right off the bat if you're playing the blues and [C] G
You've got like a [G] g7 [C] and you got a c7, you know [D] different things like [C] that
They're all taught on this [Bm] new [A] series.
I did [D] but [B] one thing that's really awesome is the open G string [C] _ and the
open D string [D] _ _ _ and
Hammering on pulling [B] off emphasizing those open strings right there
[Bm] So what you can do right off the bat, even if you're [B] a beginner you can start practicing
[C] _ _ [B] your ring finger on the [A] third fret of [B] the G string and also ring finger on the third [Bm] fret of the D string and
Just get your finger [B] down there.
You're gonna [E] nudge the string a little bit like [Bb] _ _ _
it's [B] not a bit.
Don't bend it out of tune
It's not like that.
It's just a little [Bb] nudge _ [G] and then you let it ring out [Bb] open with one [Gm] pick _
_ _ or two picks
[C] _ _
The other thing is you can kind of pull it [B] down as a pull-off
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] like that
_ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Cool thing is you can do [C] the exact same thing on the D string [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ all kinds of combinations there
[C] But then the other thing you can do is you can do it on the fifth fret of those strings as well _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And if you're thinking of it as the blues [Bb] scale right here, [Gb] you know your G blues scale
Which most of you guys are going to be [C] you know working on that
[Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] What you can do is you can do like [F] for instance the _ [B] you know on the G string you have [D] open
three [Eb] _ _
five
six [B] and seven and
Then on the D string you have open three and five and so what you can do is there's there's all kinds of cool little
Tricks and I want you to [Bb] besides any licks that you already know in the pentatonic scale.
You can start to
[B] incorporate some of these [C] ideas playing the G string _ and then you're gonna pull off on the [Gm] third _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and on the [C] fifth and _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ then even on the six _ and even on the seven if you want and _
_ _ [C] Then on the D string you can do the three and [D] the five and _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
That's going to go [B] along with [E] the [C] pentatonic or the blues scale that [B] you're already working on, you know with your [Gm] licks and stuff like
_ _ _ [Dm] _ See [Gbm] that you can just immediately, [C] you know emphasize those open D and G [Bm] strings even just within [A] your [B] regular pentatonic
[C] Check it out.
_ _ _ _ _ _ See that so instead of in a normal kind of pentatonic run you might go
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ But [F] with the open G with the open G string you could [Gb] go
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ So then another [Bm] thing is you could do an open D [D] string and then hammer on three five like
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] And I like that a lot then you could even go _ _
You can do it on the G string, but I [D] like this one a lot, too
[G] _ _ _ _ So I went open hammer three five on the D hammer.
Don't hurt him and
_ [C] Then I got index finger on the third fret of [B] the G and I'm just gonna pull it [Bb] off to open
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ All _ _ _ _
_ Right, [B] so that's just one little taste of some of the things that I'm teaching in this new [C] acoustic blues set
So let's just recap recap some of the things that I want you [B] to to work on.
You've got your G blues scale _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ But [A] then you also have even [G] within when you're playing the [B] chords of the copying you've [D] got the open [B] D string to the third fret
_ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [D] and then the same thing on [C] the G string open and three and
_ _ [G] Any [E] of those combinations
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Kind of a little concept [Gbm] there and [D] then also just within your regular pentatonic stuff _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ You [Gb] can incorporate the [C] open D in the open [B] G string within those [Bb] licks
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Right off the bat whether you're beginner [Eb] intermediate or advanced whatever just keep in mind that you've got those open strings to try and [Ebm] incorporate
And it works [Bm] great with an acoustic guitar the tones of your acoustic
[B] You know really, you know can feature those those ideas _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
