Chords for Buster B. Jones teaches Jerry Reed's "Jiffy Jam"

[N] One of the things I'd like to [Ab] point out before I move on is [A] that Jerry never played these songs the same way twice.
[Bb] _ _ [D] A lot of the times you might [Dm] find him going _ like _
[Ab] _ that, but you can play the same notes here and get a different warmth all together.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ Something like that.
_ [Bb] And he'd put in little fills every now and [D] then like_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] So if you hear it played somewhere differently, don't feel like you're [A] playing it wrong, you're just playing a [Bb] different rendition of it.
_ Well we're going to move along now and I'm going to teach you a wonderful little song called Jiffy [A] Jam. _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _

[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _

[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] Okay, there you have [Dbm] the song Jiffy Jam.
I think you noticed it right at the beginning there, I [A] embellished a little [Bb] bit and put a walking bass line in.
The reason I [Db] did that was [C] to highlight the [Bbm] actual bass line that [Bb] Jerry's playing in this song.
_ [C] _ I took it all the way up [Abm] on the sixth string, of course Jerry [E] doesn't do that.
_ [Ab] _
He'll play the [A] open A.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _
_ Now if we put the rest of it with it, now watch the bass [E] line.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Gbm] Now just slide this whole thing down. _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ Same chord [B] _
shape.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] Okay, now pointing out once again that Jerry, tucking [Gm] that finger up like a little piece of popcorn,
he would come down [F] and play the melody [C] note with his thumb pick down on the third or even the second string, it didn't really [E] matter to Jerry. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ Okay, now [Db] that's a bit of a handful, you don't actually have to do that, you can [A] get a pretty good sound without it,
but it [Bb] really brings that kind of claw feel to the song. _
One other thing I'd like to point out [Bbm] before we split the screen is right at the end of the song,
[C] _ excuse me, the second part.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] Now what he's doing [Bb] is he's just kind of hammering and pulling off when he walks up [B] into this.
[Db] _
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [E] Okay, just use your first finger as a bar all the way [Bb] across. _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ There's that D9 shape again. _ _
[Gbm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ Okay, let's [C] try that one more time, just sliding my bar up.
[Dbm] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
Got [A] like a B7 there and [E] then into the E. _ _
Alright, the last thing we want [Bbm] to look at once again [Em] is the closing of [Ab] the song.
It's a great [E] little lick up here. _
_ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ [E] _ _
Now this to me is just [Am] playing out of basically [E] a G shape, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] making it a seventh, then [Gbm] into a C shape like [A] this.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
Now you [Bb] can do all kinds of combinations here, but this is the one [E] Jerry had.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bb]
Plays [E] open E, boom. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] It's a bit of a handful, but [Bbm] I think you can get it.
So I'm going to split the [Am] screen now and we're going to [Gb] try and play Jiffy Jam [D] real slow for you.

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _

_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Gbm] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Okay, [Bb] well there you have Jiffy Jam.
I think you'll have a lot of fun with that one.
I think if you watch [Ab] that split screen [Bb] real close on my [Bbm] right hand,
you'll notice that I popped in back and forth [D] between popping the finger up here like Jerry
and then playing it of course the way I do.
