Alright, turkey in the straw.
This is in the key of G. _
It's an old traditional song, not
too complex.
So let's go through the basic melody.
I'll play the first phrase and break
it down. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So start on the first finger on your A string, _ _ _ walk down to the third finger on
your D string. _ _ _ _
_ [D#] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] _ [G] So that's a two three open. _ _
Your three is a low third, just a regular
third, a C note.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
You can repeat that same sort of phrasing _ _ _ [A] as we did on the first part,
so that would sound.
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's a little more simple, but if you're comfortable with it, you can
do this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Continuing on.
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ So that lick starts on the third finger on the D string.
Okay so advanced melody for turkey in the straw.
Just a few trills and double stops
to put in this and some third position stuff.
Nothing too complex.
So let's get started. _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [A] _ So it's very similar to the basic melody.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
So there's the [A] first real difference.
Instead
of going, _ _ _
_ [G] _ you can do a slide and do a double stop. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] And I'm also rocking.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ So _ continuing
on, you can get back into it with a little trill.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C] So that's one two [A] one open. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Slow down. _
_ You might practice that. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ [G] _ _ So what I did there is I went up to the fourth finger. _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [G#] Slid down
my first finger.
[F#m] _ _
_ _ Okay?
_ _ So repeating this, you might want to put in some double stops. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ Okay so I'm just playing open A, open D, open G.
_ Same melody notes.
_ _ _ _ So I'm droning on the
G there.
_ _ _ _ _ So _ _ _ _ that whole part, _ _ _ _ _ _ that's just playing D and G at the same [A] time.
You do have to [D] kind
of watch and make sure that your _ fingers, if you're playing on the [Em] G string, don't creep
over and touch your D [A] string.
And vice [G] versa.
You'll get kind of wolf [F#] tones and [D] whistles
and things that you don't [G] want.
[A] So when you're playing a melody line on G, be cautious not
[F#m] to drag over on that.
[G] It's easier when we're playing a [B] melody line on D to not touch the
G string.
_ [Bm] So repeating that. _ _
_ _ [G] _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
