_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _

_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay, first off, hello Moby Great fans.
_ _ _ We walk a lonely road, but here's one for you. _ _
I'm going to show you how I just played that bit, and at the end I'll talk about a couple
of other versions you might have heard [N] on YouTube. _
_ I start like this. _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Okay.
_ _ [D] You [Ab] guys know those old [E] kind of country six shows, [A] major and [C] minor sixes.
[D] _ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] It's kind of like that.
That's probably what Peter Lewis was thinking.
[F] _ _ _
_ To facilitate _ _ fluidity though, _ [A] _ _ it's probably not so good to play it like that, like this.
_ [G] _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ _ Because it makes it hard once you reach this bit up here.
_ But we'll come to that.
So I start with the whole bar here, _ _ [B] and the _ [C] _ _ [G] finger behind it.
So slide up, [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ again. _ _ _ _
_ _ Then this finger comes away.
[Ab] _ [G] _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ Okay. _
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Bm] _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ Now by doing it this way, your bar is already there for the next bit, which is this.
[Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[B] Okay.
_ _ [E] _ _ [Ab] Now this chord here, _ _ [Abm] _ _ [A] _ [Ab] _
_ _ your bar there across the ninth, you're fingering the D on the E
string, and the, what is it, the F sharp on the G.
_ So it sounds like this. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] You're then hammering [Gbm] on the D, _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] the B, and the A.
_ [Db] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ Like this.
[Gb] _ _ So [Bm] that's the, what, G sharp and the F sharp on the G string.
So all together. _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay. _
That takes a bit of work, getting that fluid. _ _
_ So, yep.
_ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Now this bar's already in place there for you to then slide it down here to the seventh. _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ That's the 7 9 7 _ on the D and the 9 on the A. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
[B] _ _ [D] _ _ _ You got that?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Okay.
Then this [E] happens. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[B] Let's take that slow.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ Okay.
You're then [E] hitting the open E string.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then the E on the D string. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So that's E, _ E, _ [Bb] slide from the F sharp up to the G sharp, and [E] play it again to the B. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay.
Sounds a bit like the Beatles, doesn't it? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now, this leaves you perfectly in position for the final bit, which is the original.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Let's [Ab] do that [E] slowly.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
Okay.
Now, just before we finish though, a couple of other _ _ videos are on YouTube with some interesting variations.
There's one guy who plays the [F] classic 6th shape like this.
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ Now that's [F] interesting.
He goes like this. _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
Now, that's probably working too hard to play like that way, but it [Ab] is a nice variation.
So I'll just play it one more time again.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ Okay. _
_ _ _ _ But there also is a video of Pete Lewis himself from Moby Great playing it. _
He kind of confirms this chord up here.
_ [E] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ Okay. _ _
_ _ _ However, there is a third guy who [E] _ _ does this. _ _
Instead of this, he plays this. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ He [Bb] plays it like [E] _
_ _ this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ Now, that's interesting.
He's playing a kind of A6 [Ab] shape down here.
I'll play that [E] slowly. _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
So that's another nice variation.
I think he's working too hard there though.
I don't think that's an [A] economical position.
Just slide back up here _ to the home position.
But it's nice. _ _ _
_ _ You can choose whatever of those you want.
Good luck.
_ And there'll be more Moby
