Alright, we're looking at Saturday Night Special, Leonard Skinner.
And it starts off down here on the B.
Well, actually the whole song is on a B, A, and a D, and an E chord.
But we're down here for the intro.
And he's got a delay on.
So, I've slowed my delay down a little to fit with the speed I'll be playing.
But you take these two strings, the middle two strings of the B and the A chord.
[B] Like [F#] that.
And then go up to the [F] D and the [B] A there.
[D] [B] [A] [B]
And the way the echo is, it's time to kind of echo those two short breaks [C]
right there.
And then after that, you're going to hit the low [A] open A string.
And [F#] then those two on [A] the A chord.
[C#]
And slide back to the B.
[D] [A]
[F#] [D]
[E] [G]
So [D] then we get to that lick, which is, I think, the coolest lick in the song.
And what you're doing there is, first he hits the high E and [E] B string.
And then, [F#] when [A#] he slides this A [G] up to the B and back to the A,
you're ringing out that high E string all [E] the time.
You'll [F#] find that in a [E] lot of the licks, [F] that high E, open E is always ringing out.
[B] So we [Bm] got
[B] [E]
And [D] then we got
[E] Like a D chord there.
Slide up to that F sharp on the third string and hit the high D.
And then he's going to hit the A and slide down on the 12th fret.
But the way that works out with the echo, it's kind of like he plays
But it's actually a delay.
That's what sounds [Bm] like false.
[A] [Bm]
[E]
[A] [F#]
And then we [Bm] continue on.
[A] [C#]
[D] [A]
[E] [F#] So on this last line, [D] [F#m] they hit an open A here, or an A [Bm] chord.
[A] [G] And then [F#] slide the D [D] to the E.
[E] And I slide these two strings up and play that [G] open [Dm] E with it.
[E] [N]
