_ [G] _ _ Hello YouTubers, Daddy Stovepipe here.
So today we're going to do a little lesson on Lonnie Johnson.
_ We're starting with a riff at 8th fret 1st string _ and the 2nd string on the 10th fret.
And we're dumping the bass, [Ab] nicely damped with the [E] palm of your hand, _ _ _ on [Dm] the 6th string. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Ab] So first of all I'm hitting those two top strings fairly hard, [A] so I need to damp the 3rd string.
_ _ _ [E] Otherwise it sounds with _ the other strings and it doesn't belong there either.
[G] So _ _ I damp with this hand. _
Come in handy.
_ [Abm] _ [Dm] So you can [Am] play hard _ _ _ _ and get a better effect.
So we did [Ab] that and then we're going down to the Lonnie Johnson signature lick which starts
at the 2nd string 5th [F] fret, _ [A] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Em] [D] to the 3rd fret, [Db] the 2nd fret _ [G] and then to the 3rd string, _ [A] _ 2nd
[Ab] fret, 1st, [G]
open and we're [E] sliding on [Gb] the 4th string _ to the 4th fret and then [Am] to the [G] 2nd
string [D] 3rd fret.
_ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] And [D] _ _ _ _ _
sometimes he did a little thing like this.
_ He pinched [Ab] the 4th and the 3rd [G] string together _ _ _ and _ _ [Gb] sliding to the 4th [N] fret on the 4th string _
and damping with this finger.
So the 3rd string isn't ringing [G] anymore. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So and after [G] that we're going back to the _ _ _ riff on [F] the 8th and [D] the 10th fret.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[D] 8th fret, 1st string, [G] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] 2nd string, [Gbm] 6th fret, _ _ _
[F] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] 2nd string, 3rd fret, _ _ 2nd string, 3rd fret
and 3rd [Bm] string, 4th fret.
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
And then those two strings together on the 5th fret of the 3rd [G] string and the 3rd _ fret
on the [Gm] 2nd string which forms a sort of [D] a partial D7 chord.
_ _ _ _ And we're hitting the 1st [Dm] string also. _ _ _
So that [A] is again.
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ [B] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] Then we're going into the G chord.
So we can use the G in the bass.
That's the reason why it's there.
So _ _ we _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] double the bass.
[G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] So it's the [E] bend on the 2nd [D] string, 5th fret. _
_ _ _ _ _ That's on the 5th fret also. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Db] And then we're walking into the [D] signature lick.
_ _ [A] _ _
[Eb] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And then [F] we don't have a bass, the A bass.
[Cm] So we just don't play it.
And for the A part _ [Db] it's _ _
[C] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Fm] 2nd string, 1st fret.
_ _ And we hammer on [E] _
to [C] the 2nd fret.
_ [Em] _ 1st string open and then we go into the simple _ A [G] chord.
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ 7th fret, _ 1st string, 5th fret, 1st string. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [A] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Gb] 8, 7, [E] 5 on the 2nd string.
_ [A] _ 1st string, 6 and _ 4th string, 7th [G] fret.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And back to the signature lick.
[B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[D] And then as a sort of a turnaround we're going to the _ _ 1st _ string, 5th fret.
[G] 2nd string, 7th [Fm] fret.
That's a _ D chord by the way.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[B] 2nd fret, 4th [A] fret, [Bm] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ 2nd string, 3rd fret. _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ And that is something [D] what it does _ _ very fast.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ It's a very fast lick between [Ab] the
