_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] Welcome to [Bb] Eric Blackmon Music.

[F] _ [Eb] _ Hi and welcome to my tutorial on how to play [Bm] Sissy Strut by The Meters from 1969 on electric guitar.
This one's going out to my brother Kale out in Seattle.
[B] _ _ The guitar is tuned standard _ [Bb] _
EADGBE.
And we'll start with an easy riff that goes like this.
[Eb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ In order to play that riff, we're going to start at fret 5 on the G string.
_ Go to [Bb] fret 3.
_ _ _ Fret [G] 5 on the D string.
_ And then we'll [N] take the little finger and go to fret 6 on the [Eb] A string.
And then bend it a little bit like that.
[B] Just pull on it.
And then end up on fret 3 [C] of the A string. _
_ _ _ [Eb] Then _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] we'll go to the low [G] E string and play.
[Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] So that's fret 3.
_ _ [A] Fret 5.
_ _ [Bm] Fret 3 on the A [C] string. _
Back to the low E string.
[A] Fret 5.
[Bm] And then back to the A string.
And fret [C] 3.
_ [G] So [Am] that's_
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ So here's the entire thing. _
[Eb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ We'll follow that with two chords [G] here at fret 10.
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [B] _
_ That first chord is a Bb chord formed by barring [B] fret 10 as far as the D, G, and B string are concerned.
_ [E] And then we're going to bring in the middle finger to fret 11 on the B string and fret 12 on the [Bb] D string.
_ _ [Ab] And I'm aiming for those three [Bb] strings.
_ _ And that's a down-up. _
_ And [Eb] then we'll go to an F chord by just barring fret 10 as far as the D, G, and B string are concerned.
And we'll strum that [F] up-up.
_ [Bb] Like that.
So it's_ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
[Gb] Then we'll start our riff again.
So it's_
[Eb] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [G] Next is our bridge riff.
And we'll play it this way.
_ _ [C] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[B] _ _ We'll play that riff by going to fret 5 on the G [Cm] string.
_ [B] And then [G] to fret 5 on the D string.
So it's_
_ _ _ _ So that's fret 5_
5_
5_
And then we'll go to fret 3 on [D] the G string.
_ Back to fret 5.
[Em] And back to [Bb] fret 3. _
[C] So that's_
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Abm] Then we'll break it [Cm] down like this.
_ _ [Eb] _ _
[C] _ For that one, we're going to go to fret 5 on the G string.
Fret 5 on [G] the D string.
_ Fret 5 again [Cm] on the G string.
[E] Fret 3.
[Bb] _ And then we'll go down to the A string.
Fret 6.
And end on fret 3 [C] on the A string.
So _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] that's_
So the entire thing [G] is_
_ [C] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ The last thing we'll need to do is to learn how to strum a chord during the organ solo.
_ _ It's E minor 7 flat 5.
[E] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
And we're going to play it this way. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ In order to play that chord, we're holding down the [Ab] G, B, and high E string at fret [Gm] 3.
Barring it like that.
And then we're going to [Ab] bring in a finger to fret 2 on the D string.
And that's [E] our chord.
_ _ _ E minor 7 [Gm] flat 5. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, [Bb] alright.
That's how I play Sissy Strut by The Meters on electric [N] guitar. _
Thanks for stopping by.
And have a great day.
