Hi guys, here we go.
This first song we're going to do this morning here is Dixie Chicken, classic by Lowell George Littlefeet.
What it is, is really kind of a blues number.
You can play along with it quite a bit.
I'm going to show you three or four different kind of [Ab] ways to play it here.
And then we'll go from there.
So let me break it down a little bit here.
Here we go.
[Gb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Bm] [G]
[Ab] [G]
[Ab]
[Abm] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Db] [Eb]
[Gb] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Ebm]
[Ab] All right, let's break it down a little bit.
It's just a little kind of a blues number here.
But we're going to go A.
The key thing here, I'm going to blow up a little bit so you can see the finger in here.
But basically we're going to take the A chord and then [Gb] bend that G [G] [Ab] up to almost a G sharp, back to the A.
And we're just kind of muffling.
That's the main lick.
[Eb]
Or an E chord, [Bb] or just an E.
Covering the fifth string, [Eb] second fret.
Just playing the bottom two.
[Ab] And then back to the A.
Get that little bend, that's the key.
And then it goes.
[B]
[Ab] Then it goes.
[Abm]
[Db] What [Ab]
you're doing there is you're doing an A with [B] a C sharp.
[C] [B] [Ab] C, C [Db] sharp, D.
[Ab] It's kind of a little walk up.
It's a walking run up.
[B] Well, [C] well, [Db] she flew [Ab] to the river A.
There she cast [Eb] her spell on that southern moon line.
She sang a song [Ab] to the [Eb] moon.
If [Ab] you be my Dixie [Gbm] children, [Ab] I'll be your Tennessee [Ebm] land.
[Abm] You're going to play alternate chords up here.
[G] Where you're just playing, [Ab]
[B] [Ab] let's go seventh fret, fourth string, and sixth fret on the third string.
Then you're hitting the A, so it's just really these three.
That's another A, just like this.
So you can hit the A there, [B] and then you go to an E, which would be, [Eb] you can hit all of the strings on this one here too, but it's open.
Fifth is on the seventh, and then you go nine, nine for the fourth and the third.
That's a big E there too, so you can go.
If [Ab] you be my Dixie chicken, I'll be your Tennessee [Eb] land.
We can walk together down [Ab] in [Eb] [Ab] Dixie [Db] land,
[Abm] down in [Eb] [Ab] Dixie land.
What he's doing right there, this is just kind of my version here too, but it's A, [Eb] [Ab] Dixie land.
It's an [Eb] A, [Ab] E, A, [Db] D, [B] C, [Ab] [Eb] E, [Ab] E, A.
I was listening to it the other day, they do a little something [Db] different in that [B] down [Ab] in [Eb]
[Ab] Dixie land.
And then that's the basic song, so really you want to get this pattern here.
Let me put that up.
You get that, or.
[Eb] [Ab]
And [Abm] [Ab] [Abm] [Ab]
that little intro [Gb] part up top is the piano part where they come in and [G] go.
[Ab]
It's a [Gbm] little D chord sliding from the eight to [G] nine.
[Ab]
If you got a looper, you can do the A.
Loop that.
Keep that a [G] roll and then go.
[Ab]
[G] [Ab]
[Gb] [Ab] So, Dixie chicken, hope you enjoy it, little blues and A.
