[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ First off [G] let's take a look at the introduction.
[E] _
[F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] We've got the first finger,
_ _ third finger, _ onto the G string.
_ [F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [A] _ _ Then we're gonna use our second finger.
We're
gonna bend the fifth fret onto the seventh fret.
I'm gonna use two fingers.
_ [F#] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ Quite hard to do, so really [F#] press quite hard.
[E] _ _
_ [F#m] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ Then include your third finger.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Then [D#] slide one fret up, _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
second and third fret.
Include your third finger _ _ [A] and onto the A. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [C#m] _ Let's _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ play that [E] very slowly and let's see if you can play along.
One, two, three.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Next up let's take a look at the solo.
Now we're gonna break it down into four
parts and here's the first [C] part.
[C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ [B] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Let's start with the [G] third finger, second to
fourth fret.
[C#m] _ _ [F#] _
[A] _ _ _ And this is simply an A major pentatonic [B] scale.
[A] _ [B] We're gonna bend [C] _
_ [C#m] fourth
onto the sixth fret [E]
and use your little finger.
And you really want to hear those
[C] two notes together.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ And then down, [Am] release, _ [Em] _ [A] _ back to the second fret.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ Very country [C]-like.
_ [A] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[F#m] _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You notice I use all three [G#m] fingers because I need _ [Am] [C#m] a lot of [E] strength to get
to that sixth fret.
[A] _ _
[C] You really want [E] to use [A] all the fingers.
_ [C#m]
Then again we have
the bend on the fifth fret, second finger, first finger.
_ _ _ And _ _ here, [Cm] _ onto the fourth
and the third fret.
And this time you already want to bend it up and just
release it [Bm] _ like [C] this.
[Bm] _ _ _
Not like this, _ _ _ [C] just _ downwards.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ Now normally I would never
play it like this.
I would play it like this.
_ This A chord or A _ [A#] triad if you will.
But since we have to slide back immediately [G] I'm gonna use my third,
second and first finger.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ And that way I can slide immediately [B] back.
_ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ Here's the
first part once more.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Next up, second part.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[B] _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G#] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ A little bit out of tune.
_ [F#] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
Again use your [Bm] third and second fingers, slide up two
frets.
_ [C#m] _ _ And here again, _ [C#] release.
[D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
I want to hear a descending [C] sound.
_ [E] _ _ [Cm] _
[D] _ [Em] _ Then onto the
fourth and [Bm] third fret. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ With the finger, [G#] _ fourth fret, [E] _ E chord.
_ Second part once more. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ [Em] _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ Let's continue. _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So again [E] we have the [F#] _ [A] _ bend _ [C#m] _ _ [E]
twice.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
Again [C] the [Bm] _ [D] release, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] slide [A] up. _ _
_ _ _ Last part. _ _
[Bm] _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] So we've got the hammer-on, _ [F#] _
[A] _ _ slide up, [Bm] _ _ [C#m] _
_ [Bm] back, _ _ [E] _ first fret, _ _ [A] A chord.
_ _ [B] _
_ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _
Now let's go ahead and
play the entire solo and see if you can play along.
We're gonna start after five
beats.
Here we go.
