Chords for Doyle Dykes B bender techniques

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ What time do we have?
[A] Oh, we have a few more minutes.
Anybody [Db] else got it?
Yes.
Doug, [E] you do this B-Bender technique.
Yeah.
And some time ago I was [Am] trying out some guitars and was trying out some tailors,
and I noticed that when I tried that on a tailor, I actually couldn't [G] press down the strings.
So I'm wondering, do [E] you actually _ [D]
push it down [E] to the headstock?
No, you do that on a Telecaster.
Yeah, _ you're thinking more like a Tele, an [Em] electric guitar.
A Tele has a big groove right here.
_ No, you don't [Gb] have that here, so I take my [Eb] thumb.
First of all, make [Ab] sure you wrap these strings around and [Em] you fill them up.
_ [E] _ First thing.
[D] I don't care how big a boy [B] you are, it hurts.
_ [Ab] _ One time, I didn't break it off quite enough, because I wrapped my strings around.
I go this way.
Kirk Sand told me I knew it.
You go around this way, and then over and [Eb] under.
And it makes a knot, a little [A] knot.
And let me tell you, [C] you can just throw it [F] away, or just wring it right off.
_ One time, there was a little _ piece that was hanging there, just [Ab] barely, and I didn't see it.
And it stuck in my finger.
And when I started to crank, oh my gosh, it pushed [E] that string, and I stopped. _
_ [Ab] _ Sorry. _ _
_ _ _ What do you do?
[Eb] You just stop and go on. It [Ab] hurt.
Like the [A] dickens.
And so, anyway.
[C] I take my thumb and my two fingers, and I found [Cm] out when I started [Ab] playing the table,
I thought, oh, that's cool.
[E] I had been writing [Eb] a song, [G] writing a guitar.
Let's see.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [E] _ [Ab] And I [A] thought, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ whoa, cool.
[F] And so [Eb] I take my thumb and two fingers, and I push.
[A] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _
Remember [C] Tommy?
With a [B] thumb and two fingers, [Ab] he's starting to play.
_ That's what you do with your [Em] left hand.
So your thumb goes over here, and you push [Eb] up, not down.
[A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ And it works [Abm] really cool with a, with a, yeah.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
Yeah.
Yeah, you play this.
And then I start [G] writing songs. _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] Start writing songs like that, you [Bm] know.
And [A] there's one I wrote.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ Tommy's 80 years old, still plays guitar really good.
[Am] He used to have a company [Bb] called the Grammar Guitar, which are really now getting to be collectible [Em] now. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] And he said, oh, why don't you play something [Ab] everybody knows?
_ _ And so I [Gm] did, and I got that.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [G] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Kind of like a Dover.
[Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Anyway, and so you find, I found ways [Em] to use that, and actually [Abm] do it in a song, and we're
going to do it.
[Gm] _ _ [G] And that's what got me [Db] on the Grammy or the Lobby, I guarantee you.
They don't care about how I play, as long as [G] I did. _ _ _
_ _ Sometimes you get sassy. _
_ _ [B] _ _ _
What's that G chord?
_ It's D, A, G, D, G, D.
[G] So if this were an A, it would be dad gab, it's a G.
Just think of it that way.
Or if this were a B, it would be open G chord. _
And so you're, _ remember this God's favorite chord?
_ G sus.
[Ab] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. _ _
_ _ It's actually a [D] G sus 2.
It's a G sus 2.
[F] The record, it's funny, because they do use that in a [G] lot of liturgical music.
G sus. _ _ _
_ _ And the G sus 2 in there, they resolve.
_ _ _ _ [E] _
I can still do [Eb] that on an organ.
_ [D]
Anyways, fun stuff.
Is this a B string?
[Gm] Yeah, it's just a B string.
But it sounds like you're doing it because you use it in different [G] ways. _ _
And sometimes I just use it as a little pass. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [E] _ _ You know, just kind of [G] work, yeah, kind of like, yeah, you get a feel for it.
This is [E] fun.
[G] I used to play a little pedal steel, [Eb] and I think that helped me.
A little [D] banjo, that helped me, you know, with all these things.
Because some of them were banjo licks that I [G] do.
_ _ [E] Steel licks.
_ [G] _ _ _
That's a [Eb] steel guitar lick that I got off Weldon [E] Murray.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
