[E]
Hey, what's up guys back to do a [N] lesson for desolation row from Dylan
[E] Pretty
Pretty long song 11 minutes.
I think something like that, but the the chords are all the same throughout the song
Boy I'd hate to have to memorize all the [N] lyrics to this song
Good Lord a lot is a lot of lyrics
but um to play
[E] Dylan's part and I believe um
Leave Michael Bloomfield on this too
But for Dylan's part you're going to be playing on an e chord and you're going to add [Am] your pinky make [C] it up
which [E] suspended that you're going to add your pinky and
Lift it off.
I'm going to strum the e chord first by itself add your pinky
[A] I
Think [E] open the back to just the e chord so the only chords in this song really are the east
[A]
Hey
[D] [B]
[N] me
those are the only chords really in the song but
To do like Bloomfield's part while [E] Dylan's doing this part
Michael Bloomfield might be doing something like this and then when Dylan switches to [A] the a
[E] Um like for the chorus you're gonna go well, let me do the main let me sing a verse of this real quick
[A]
[E] [B]
[A]
[E]
Oh
My god, he looks so immaculately dreadful
[A] as he
[E]
[B]
[A] [D] [E]
Wonders
Now for the chorus for this part you're gonna go [A] to an a
[E]
But he was
[D] [A] Famous long back to a
[E] Trick [B] now you're gonna go to be
[A]
[E] All right, [A] so did you get that that the chorus is um
Not not to say it's tricky, but [B] you want to jump to a B chord [Ab] quicker, but you [A] gotta you gotta
[Abm] starts with an a [A] So
Yeah, [E] go to eat that life, but he was me [A] Back today
[D] [E] Now [B] you can go to be
[A] All [E]
right, so for the main part of the verse
Gonna
[A] [B] go [E] from he first line of the verse is gonna be in he
second line [A] is gonna be in
Playing an a chord [E] back to eat third line you're gonna go to a [B] B
[A]
[E] Chorus [A] again a
[E] [A]
[E] [B]
[A] So [E]
[A] we get back to try to get [N] back to expand upon upon Bloomfield's part a little bit
So like when Dylan's playing [E] the e in the first position
Bloomfield is might be doing something like this
Then [N] he's gonna move down here for the
[A] For the a position so like during the chorus he's gonna come down here
When [E]
[A] [E]
[B]
he's when Bloomfield switches to the B instead of you know [Bbm] Dylan be playing the [B] B chord
[Dbm] Michael Bloomfield would be [B] doing something like this
[A] [E] [A] [G]
[E] [B] [Dbm] So I don't know I mean I don't really have it down to [A] a science what he's doing [E] exactly I'm
more interested in Dylan's part, but
It's just pretty [A] cool the way they
[Cm] [A] They play well together
That [E]
album has some great acoustic songs on it where they both [C] jam out
[D] [N] So well, I'm thinking of blonde I'm well, I don't think Bloomfield played on blonde on blonde, but
I might have to cover a couple more songs from [Gb] blonde and blonde
[E] But [D]
[E] anyway take care.
I hope that
Hope you could [A] learn from this pretty simple
[E] All [Ab] right, have a
