This is a tutorial on how to play just the introduction of Sweet City Woman.
What I normally do when I _ want to learn how to play something is I go to the YouTube and
see if there's anybody that's posted yet on how to do it.
And when I don't find the way that it looks like it's, or sounds like it's on the record,
then I start looking for original video of the _ tune.
[Em] And this was originally done by the Stampeders.
It was written by a fellow named Rich Dodson, and I believe he plays the banjo on it.
And I think he has his banjo tuned like the top four strings of guitar.
E, A, D, [D] G.
_ [Eb] Which is how I have my banjo [D] tuned.
_ So first thing you do is you bar the seventh fret.
[G] And then you play _ what would be a C position _ _ chord.
_ _ [Ebm] And then the next note [G] you add _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is just another B on top of the G chord.
So it's just an inversion of the G chord. _ _ _ _ _
And you do that by putting your little finger down here on the tenth fret.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Am] And then the next chord is an A minor chord. _ _
_ And you put your pinky there to add a little _ two to the top of the A minor chord. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[Ab] And then _ [E] the next chord is a G [G] chord.
_ [Eb] And you just add a six with your [Em] little finger here.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [N] Bring your run up back up to the other G chord with sixteenth note.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And start it all over again.
Now that's how the introduction goes.
_ _ You'll notice if you listen to the recording that on the verses when he sings he puts a D chord in after the A minor chord.
So it'll _ _

[Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [N] _
Which is strange because the bass keeps right on playing the same bass line whether it be the introduction or
