Hello there and welcome to Delta Blues Tips' channel
Today I'm wearing the attire of a Saint and Bagwell in the mojo
Steeped in red
of strong tea in red
Just cause I feel like it
I'm [A]

_ _ Today _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I'm wearing the attire of a Saint and Bagwell in the mojo _ _
_ Steeped in red
_ Cup _ of strong tea in red _ _
Just _ _ _ _ cause I feel like _ it
I'm in standard [E] tune _
_ I'm _ _ [A] _ _ _
using a set of John Pears
[D] _
Phosphor Bronze gauge 11 [G] strings _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ With the G string out of a set of 10s
Cause it's actually [N] thicker than the ones that come with the 11 _ _ Ok
_ _ _ _ _ I'm gonna do you Now
_ _ The beginning of a tune
_ That needs no introduction from me
Here we [D] go
_ [C] That's _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
my version of an acoustic way of playing [N] a great tune
As we all know what that's called
_ _ Sweet Home Alabama
Takes me right back to when I was a lad
In the early 70s
_ Playing them tunes in bands
_ _ Electric of course
But them days are over _ _ _
Now I'm just down to bend and reality
Just enough to get through the day
_ _ So here we go
Let's take a look at those chords _ _
Close and personal
_ _ Let's _ see if I can get that to do _ _
It's [D] a D chord _ _ _
But what we're gonna do is remove this note _ _
This finger side
So we just get that _
_ I'm gonna keep [G] this one where it is all the while
And then [C] go into the C position like that
[Em] _ Then _ [A] the [G] G position
_ Of _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] course this is my version of this tune
It's just a thing you can sort of rip out on acoustic
I'm sort of beating the strings [D] like this _
[C] So _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ we've got a [C] D, [G] C, G
[D] Back to D
_ _ It's this hand that's doing the damage
And it is doing damage
Cause you can see [N] all the blood's wearing me
_ I'm _ _ _ _ gonna be using thumb, finger, [D] finger
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ At this point
Thumb with your thumb [A] A string [B] _ B [Em] _ note
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ D string
[A] _ _ [E]
Now _ [G] _ _ most of the [Ab] time I would [D] do this with that finger
[A] _ [B] _ [D]
No _ _ I [A] wouldn't, I'd do it with my [B] thumb
_ [D] Then _ _ _ [G] we jump
[A] Go from there
[B] _ [D] Jump _
_ [E] onto the E note _ [D] _ C [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ note
_ _ [G] Now _ _ _ _ _ _ that G string played open with the finger
_ Before you do [B] this D, [C] C
_ Is _ [G] _ _ _ _
crucial to the way that I play _
You may find it a different way of doing it
But that's up to you
The way I do it to keep it rolling _
I just throw that open string in
It rolls it in like [D] this
[G] Listen out for this
_ [D] _
_ I'll _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
try you [G] with the beat of that now
So _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ if you think of it
Before you learn all the fancy bits
As just [D] going
_ [Gm] And _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [N] _
then
After you've got that
Then separate it [D] like this
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So _ [E] [D] it's _ _
So _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ there you go
There's a little tip on how to play the intro to that This bit
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
I'll do it
A separate one _
Hope you liked it
_ Stay cool, see you later
