Chords for Tutorial on a Riff in The Claw

_ _ Hi, this is a supplement to a blog post that I'm writing on _ right hand techniques
_ and especially _
For one tune that Jerry Reed wrote and recorded many many many years ago
_ _ Gosh back when I was first learning to play the guitar is one of the
_ one of the first songs I learned to play
_ but
it's called the claw and
I'm gonna talk about just one of the
_ Riffs in it and it's a _ one that goes like this _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ And there's a few different ways of doing that
_ You know, it's probably more than a few.
There's probably a lot
_ but
I obsessed over that for a long while and what's the best way to do it and how does Jerry do it and of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ course
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Anyway, I wanted to show you a couple of the _ subtle little _
_ ways of going about
_ _ Different ways of going about picking and getting the same sound out of it. _
_ I will in the blog post
I'll reference a couple of videos by
Chet and Jerry and _ _ _ _ _ [E] if you watch those videos real close you can see that Chet is
_ getting
_ That lick this way and he's using _
All [N] three fingers and _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] That's pretty much the [N] way I've been playing it for the last several years
I learned to play it not using learned to play it using just two fingers
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Think the way Jerry actually got it on the record
And if you watch the video that I'll be linking _ you can see it's probably a little [A] bit more like this _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You
You see that he gets that kicker with the _
Index finger in a couple of spots not just down there, but also up here _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
There's a couple [A#] ways of getting that that [F#m] note _ those [E] notes you can do it [F#] that way which I prefer or you can do it
_ _ [F#] Which makes it a little bit [A] easier for transitioning into the a part
_ [Em] _ If you're going to get the the G note open _ _
_ _ _ _ Again the way Tommy Jones plays it is with [C#] the two fingers _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I think I haven't studied that really really closely, but if you watch his video
_ He's using only two and it's a pretty close approximation to what he does
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Again going back to the way [G#] Jerry originally _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
So I guess the _ what's the point is there one
_ _ I think the point is you can become too obsessed with fingering techniques
It's really really _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
the best
_ Weeks for fingering I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ do think it's really important to spend time on getting good techniques
And _ _ I think you can obsess about them, and I have
_ _ And I think Richard is _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Pretty _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ much covers it for now
