Chords for Buddy Whittington Blues Guitar Lesson - Sure Got Cold After the Rain Fell - Intro Solo

_ _ _ Okay, so here's my second
Buddy Whittington lesson.
I just want it to be short one.
I just want to do the opening solo of
Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell
It's a particularly nice one.
It's fairly short and simple
_ _ _ But for me there's a
[D] quite a bit of study in it [G#] because it
_ _ does that nice blend of major and minor [G] pentatonic
borrows [G#m] various notes from each scale to get that really nice kind of bluesy [A] country sound
which [D#] I particularly like.
So
_ [D#] to demonstrate this one, [G#] it's just three chords really the main
the main [A] verse.
This
_ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [G#] goes through.
So I'm going to use my boss loop pedal
Play the chords [N] in then play the solo over the top then show you how to do it.
Okay
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [F#] So
Okay, so this is one of those solos where the timing is quite loose it's [G] pulled about a fair bit
[C#] So you just have to kind of feel your way.
It's quite difficult to get it
precise to [F#] the original so I just like to try to get it somewhere near.
[G#] So it's based mainly around a major pentatonic thing _
_ [A] _ _ Starts here.
We start with a [F#] nice hammer-on
_ _ _ From the 7th to the 10th fret [G] on the B string
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
Just play everything close up rather than explain it too much.
I'll play everything [D] close up so you can see _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] Then we go up to the 12th fret and we have a sort of a long bend that we sort of hold
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ It's one of those kind of bends.
It's a long one never quite
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[D] _ [G#] Never quite seems to hit the note.
It's going for quite deliberately of course
So [Bm] it kind of sounds like this _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] Another A note for a bit.
So [D] the first bit
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ Then we go down here to _
_ _ _ sort of the A
Pentatonic type position
_ _ Kind of run slide down here from [D] 8th to 7th, _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [G#] which is a minor blues
[D] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
Hammer on [B] on the G [A] string
_ _ The [D] A
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C] Then slide down to [C#] D
Pull off to [A] C sharp
_ And A.
So it's kind of a mix [F#] that little riff of major and [C] minor
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Okay, [G#] and the next bit we go down to the
_ _ Major pentatonic position
_ _ This one here _
_ _ _ _ _ Play those three notes.
So we've got
[F#] F sharp, [A] A, E
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ And a bend from the E up to the F sharp.
[A] Make sure you hit that note.
Otherwise it sounds dreadful _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Not like that.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#]
Then you [Gm] pull off down to [B] the D there
_ [E] And play your B on the string [Bm] below _ _ _ _
And then
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [G] Kind of one of those rolling [F#] licks.
It kind of just fits in there.
There's no real
sort of hard timing to it.
So we've got E
_ Then we're on the third string [B] here _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
Pulling off
Playing the F sharp there.
Then [G#] we do, it ends with an [A] A there
_ _ And a slide up to the A there.
So you get that
_ _ _ _ [D] That sounds [B] off.
_ [F#m] _ _ _
Then another double [F#] stop run down.
Very typically sort of country [A]
blues type run
[D] Slide up _ to the F sharp there.
_ _ _ _ [C#] So we've got F sharp, D
[D] _ _ [C] E
C _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [F#] _
Using plectrum and second finger to plug there.
So we've got F sharp, [D] D
_ _ E, [C] C
E, _ _
_ [D] D, [B] B, C [A] sharp, A.
No, sorry, C, [C#] A
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [F#] All on the third and fifth strings
_ [Bm] _
_ [A] _ So all the way [F#m] through _ _
Won't hold the notes for as [D] long
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [N] _
And that's it.
There's lots of variations on that solo
_ [C#] _
_ [D#] within the song
_ So go through and
Pick out what you like and learn it.
Okay.
Thanks
