Okay, that's Elvis Presley's Big Boss Man.
That features Jerry on the guitar.
I think
that was around like 68, 69, somewhere around there.
But anyway, that's a pretty simple
tune once you get it going.
Jerry's really going on that tune.
So let me just show you
how that goes about.
I'm assuming, okay?
Because I've never seen tab [Gb] for this.
I just did it
from here.
But anyway, index finger, fourth fret G string, pinky on the sixth fret of
the B string and [N] your middle finger on the top string, fifth fret.
Drop D tuning also,
[Dm] okay?
[G]
Okay.
[B] Now just practice this for a second, okay?
And you're not using your ring finger.
[G] That just hit the chord [Gm] and then [B] lift up your middle finger and then put the index finger
on [E] the third fret of the top string, okay?
[G]
[Bb]
Okay.
Because that's what you're going to
need to do that.
Okay.
[N] Now let me play how the [C] whole thing goes together, okay?
And the
D string is [D] sort of like a [C] drone throughout the whole [G] thing.
[Dm] [E] Doing a pull [G] off there.
[Dm]
[Gm] [Dm] [G]
Notice
I'm using these two on [D] the B [G] and the G string, [Dm]
[G] [Dm]
[G] okay?
[D] Now speed it [Gm] up some, [Dm]
[G]
okay?
[Bb] That's the
intro to Big Boss Man, alright?
Y'all can have some fun with that and I'll bring something
else to you again, okay?
Y'all take care now.
