Greasy coat, clawhammer banjo, slow and teach-y chords
Start Jamming...
I had a request for a really nice, slow, teachy, greasy coat.
And this is a good one for real beginners because it's very, very simple.
You're going to be in a modal tuning.
I'm in a G modal.
[G]
And we're going to start on this.
I'll play it through once.
[Gm] [G]
[Gm] [G]
[G]
Okay.
So a couple of variations there in that last line.
So here we go.
I'm going to turn it over here a little bit more so you can see what's going on [D] here.
So starting [Gb] in the third fret, third [Bbm] string, we're going to do a pull-off.
[G] And then, diddy.
So pull-off, diddy.
Bum, bum.
That's the fourth string, third fret.
And then hit the third string to open.
So it sounds like this.
Pull-off, diddy, bum, bum.
And then you do it again.
Pull-off, diddy, bum, bum.
Pull-off, diddy, bum, bum.
And the third time you do it, you end it like this.
[Gm] Hammer on, diddy, dum.
That's a hammer on.
[G] And then open third string.
So the first time through this, you play it like that.
Pull-off, diddy, bum, bum.
Pull-off, diddy, bum, bum.
Then you play it like this.
Pull-off, diddy, bum, [C] bum.
[Bb] I'm leaving my finger here.
[Eb] That was that note.
And then I'm [C] playing the second string open.
And then the first string open.
[G]
So [Gm] I've gone like this.
[G]
[C] And then pull-off on the [G] third string.
Diddy, bum, bum.
Hammer on, diddy, dum.
So it sounds like this, that last part.
[Gm] [G] Or, that's with the drop thumb.
You can do it without the drop thumb if you want.
[Gm] [G]
So that's the whole A part.
So here's the, and you play it twice.
Here's the B part.
Also the third string, but you're going to hit the third string at the fourth fret,
which is going to seem strange and unusual.
So hammer on, diddy, first string, second fret.
And then the same hammer on as the [Bm] open first string, [G] fourth fret.
Okay, and then third line's just like the first,
[B] [G] but end it with the drop thumb.
Now there's two ways you could do the last line.
Well, there's lots of ways, but there's two ways I can think of off the top of my head
that you could end the last line of this.
I do either one, it doesn't matter.
Is one way.
So that's drop thumb, diddy, that's the first and second strings.
And then a pull off, [B] third string, third fret.
Followed by a diddy.
And then a hammer on, fourth string, third [B] fret.
[G] And then end with an open third string.
So you could go like this.
[Db] That's the second string, first fret.
[G] Third string, third fret.
Third string open.
Hammer on, diddy, open third, third string.
[Dm] [G] So here's the whole B part together so you can see how that hangs together.
[B] [G]
You need to play that part twice.
Okay, well, it's been real.
