_ [B] _ Hi _ _ _ _ _ there and welcome to How to Play Old School 12 Bar Blues Part 5.
[Bb] _ Today we'll be discussing the one finger ending.
_ [C] What we're going to do is play through the [E] blues _ and _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
then [E] end it like [B] this.
_ [Bb] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] Or like this.
_ [E] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Right?
_ [C] Now what we did there is simply went to the fourth fret _ on the G string.
Put one finger there and we're going to play _ _ the G string and the high E string at the same time.
_ So we're starting here [D] _
_ at fret 4, [E] _ _ _ _
pulling on both strings. _ _ _ _
Fret 3, _ _ _ [Am] fret 2 _ and _ _ hammering on fret [E] 1.
_ _ Like that.
So you got [C] this.
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Ab] _
[E] And you're sounding the high E string at the same time.
Okay, so it's going to sound like this.
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ Then you follow that with a [B] B7 chord. _ _ _
And then back to [E] E string.
_ _ _ Right?
_ [D] Now, you can play this several ways.
You can just play the two strings like this _ [E] simultaneously.
_ [Bb] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] And then walk up to your B7 like [Bb] this. _
[B] _ _ _ That way [E] it sounds like this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Or you can mangle the notes a little bit.
You can go [E] _ _ [Ab] like _ [A] _
_ _ [Em] _ [E] _ _ [C] that.
So what I'm doing there _ [Gb] is _ _ _ _ playing the G string first, [G] _ _ [B] _ _ then follow with a [E] finger on the high [Bb] E _ like _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ that.
So we've got this.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [E] _ Now you can come up with [Eb] many variations on how you do this.
But you're working with just these two strings here.
[E] So, _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ walk it [A] up.
A, [Bb] _ Bb, [B] B. _ _ _
_ _ [D] And you can slide [E] that _ like _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ that.
So there's lots of things you can do with that.
Okay, now you might strike the strings simultaneously like [Eb] this.
And slide them.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] And then your B7 chord.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
Now [B] let's play from the B7 _ to [A] A7 _ to [Gb]
E7 so you can see what that [F] sounds like at the end of your [Em] progression.
Here it goes.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Gbm] _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] The whole thing.
_ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ Alright, and we could have done an alternate ending which would have _ been_
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ Just like that. _
_ _ _ _ _ Okay, now those are just some things that you can play around with _ as far as your endings go. _ _ _ _
