Okay, since [Ab] everybody liked to [C] see the Stagger Lee lesson, now Jerry kind of picks that.
I'll show you another one.
This one's called First Into This Country.
It's a great song,
not for kids only, the Grissman Garcia [Gm] CD.
Jerry's kickoff goes
[Eb]
[Bb] E [Eb] to A.
[G] Walk up to [Ab] A.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Eb]
[Ab] Okay, so that's what he does when [Cm] Grissman is [E] doing that really cool mando deal where
he's going something
[Em]
[A] [F]
like that.
I believe I'll have to [Dm]
work [B] on it.
[F] So now, let me get my thumb back out.
[E] When the [Eb] vocal comes in
[Bb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] Do [Ab] you think of [Bb] any [Eb] reason or rhyme?
So the [B] key to that is to get [Bb] that click.
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
And then that pinky, you can throw that pinky, or go
[Ab] But again, the [Eb] kickoff goes [Ab] a little [Eb] syncopated dealer.
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Gb] [Ab]
Walk down to [Bb] B.
[Eb] Hammer, A.
I kind of messed that up.
We'll do it one more time.
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Bb] [Eb]
So that's [C] it.
That's when First Into This Country.
So it's just [B] a two-finger style [Eb] if you get this.
[Ab] A little syncopated finger [Eb] on that.
You could do it three-finger.
[Bb] [Ab] And do a pinch.
[Eb]
[B] [Bb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Cm] So if you just keep that steady, you got it.
The cool thing about Jerry's guitar picking is [G] Jerry was a banjo player.
He was bad ass at the boom chick, so I hope that helps you some.
I'll show you another one.
