_ This [Gm] one's from a song called [B] Colorado Bulldog [Bm] _ [F#] and it's probably one [G] of the scariest things _ that
[G] That I've ever played it
_ _ involves big stretches and
fast picking and fast left-handed stuff and
_ _ I think the only reason that I can do it is I used
Part of it for a warm-up [F#] for so long that [G] it sort of became second nature
_ _ And then ended up having to add on to it sort of reverse it, but I'll start off from the beginning
_ It's in the key of E.
So it starts on an E
_ _ And the whole thing is pentatonic, but it's very weird fingerings for pentatonic
It's all three note per string and it's all big stretches starts off on the E
Sounds like this
_ _ _ _ There's six notes.
There's another six starting in the next step of the scale _ _
_ _ Next six _ _ _ _ _ next _ _ _ _ this keeps on going up. _ _ _ _
I
Do little string skip here _ _ _
_ no G string in there another string skip between the G string and the E and
_ _ Now we're on the B string [E] and the high E _ _
Then I slide it with my pinky to the B.
That's all the ascending part.
I'll do it all together and _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ for the picking I actually _
Pick the first note and do two hammer-ons _
And then I pick the last three
_ _ with alternate picking
_ _ _ _ Starting with an upstroke if you can believe it _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Let me try that together a little bit quicker _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So that's the first half then you do almost exactly the same thing but down same notes
[G#] But I change a couple [F#] fingerings to make it easier [G] to play.
I start on that B that I ended on
[G] _ _ Go and do descending sixes
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And just end it with that E note
_ Let me do that together picking for this is a downstroke
_ _ Then an up a down and up _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So I'll do the whole thing together kind of mid tempo
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ One thing a little bit quicker _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
and up to speed _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ One more time _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And
Then if you put the two together if
_ _ If you're lucky, it'll come together.
I'll give it a try see how it sounds.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh
One more time _
