_ [A] _ _ [E] _ [A] Hi [E] and welcome to masters of the Delta Blues Guitar with Kevin Duggan _ _ _ _
This week's Delta Feast is Monday Morning Blues by Mississippi John Heard
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ Here's the complete song
_ [G] _ [Bb] This is Monday Morning Blues by Mississippi John Heard
[A] I _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] woke up this morning, I _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] woke up this morning
[A] I _ _ [E] woke up this morning, [E] Monday [A] morning _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Now _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ to Guitar 101, the essentials.
This is in the [E] standard tuning with E, _ _ _ _ [A] A, _ _ _ _ the D note, [D] 4th string, _ _ _ _ G, [G] _ _ _ _ _
the B string, _ _ _ and the E string.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So E, _
[A] A, [D] E, [G] G, B, _ _ _ [Bm] E. _ _ _
_ [Am] Monday Morning [D] Blues is a 12 bar blues.
_ [A]
It has an alternating bass line that goes through.
_ I'm muting it with the palm of my hand. _
So the bass line is going like this. _ _ _
Then to the D.
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] A, _ _ _ then [E] to the E. _ _
_ _ _ [A] So _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] with the finger picking, you can use just two fingers [D] to do a pinch.
Because this song starts off with a pinch.
You can use three fingers.
[N] So here it is slow with _ the [Am] _
bass line and the pinch. _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ So you have two notes that are [A] open. _
_ _ _ _ Open, sliding the A up.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
So that's [Em] your A part of this 1-4-5 progression.
[Ab] _
Then to the D, [D] _ _ _ _ you're still doing the bass line on the same two strings. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Cm] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ Then to the E note.
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ So it would be like this a little faster. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [N] We come to the closing of this chapter.
