Chords for Man of constant sorrow tutorial

_ _ Okay, I'll try to show you how I play Man of Constant Sorrow.
It's basically very much inspired by _ Dante Minsky.
_ [Ab]
It's all I remember from watching the [Cm] movie and playing the record a few [F] times.
So it will be [Cm] similar, but it will not be precise.
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] This is how I play the [F] intro.
I'll do it slowly first.
_ _ There's a shuffle going on _ _ _ _ where you keep the sixth string ringing.
Actually, the sixth string is tuned down by one [B] note.
[F] So I have an octave here.
_ I use [C] capo 3, but I'll be talking about the positions that I use.
So it's 3, [B] G and A.
[F] _ _ _ I'll use a shuffle here.
I start with a hammer-on from 3 to 5 on the A string. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ So actually, [Eb] if I do it without that, it will be clearer for you.
[F] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[Ab] _ [F] _ So if you do this, I'll do it one more time slowly.
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Fm] And you do that together with this [G] sixth string that you keep ringing.
_ [C] _
Very much like a mountain dulcimer where some open strings keep ringing [Eb] all the time.
So [F] this is very old-timey and [Ab] bluesy at the same time because we're using a bluesy note here. _
[Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [F] _
So _ this _ [C] _ _
[Ab] _ [F] _ _ is the intro.
[Cm] So I'll [B] do just a bit of the song and _ _
[F] try to hit the strings under a good angle here.
_ And when you finish that lick_ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ Hi, hi, hi, big farewell, _ _ hello old [Bb] Kentucky.
_ The place where [G] I _ was [C] born and raised. _
The place [G] where he _ was [F]
born and raised. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So you can see that you [Cm] also need to change the chords [F] that you are used to playing.
You need to play the [Bbm] G like this.
_ Because you tuned down the sixth string, you [F] get the G note here on the fifth position.
[Ab] You play a D note _ _ _ _ on the fifth position from the capo.
[Bb] Then you have another one actually.
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] Then you have a G string open and you fret these two using the index finger on the third fret.
_ _ And [Ab] for the A chord I like to use [Cm] _ the A [C] with a suspended second. _ _ _
That sounds a little more open, it rings a little longer, it sounds more lonesome I would say.
And you need to make sure that you don't have the sixth string ringing [F] there.
Because the D note doesn't fit [G] into the A chord.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] You [C] can either _ _ [G] pick with your thumb or you can fret it with your _ [E] index finger.
Which I think I find uncomfortable.
[G] Or you [Fm] can [C] cheat as I do by just damping it with your thumb.
So you don't hear it. _ _
[D] So that is what I [Eb] use here.
And [G] I use a few [C] licks actually in [Ab] between _ the lines when I'm singing.
That are very much like the intro, they're [C] only a little easier.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So if [Ab] I slow that down, that is very much the same style as that intro.
_ [C] I've seen _ _ trouble all [F] my day. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So I can use either _ _ a hammer-on or a slide. _
[G] So first you just strum [F] the D chord.
_ _ [C] Like this. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
So _ _ [Db] _ _ [F] this is _ _ all I wanted to say actually. _ _
