So first of all, we need to tune our guitar down to open D. I play with a cap on the first fret, which almost puts it in tune with Blake's performance on record. And also because I like to play with a capital because I find the fingering easier. So we start to tune with the bass a string, we take that down to D, the fifth and the fourth string, the A and D, the stairs they are the G string comes down to F sharp, the B string to a and the high E string to D. I'll be using a capital on the first fret. So in the chord diagrams, the rest sr, the frets will be from the capital position and not they're not down the country's played an open D, it's a great piece to play, it's got a really nice bluesy feel to it.

And as we're playing an open D, of course, we need to use different chords. These are the chords we're going to use in this piece of the recognizable chords, we have a seven, and G. And the other chords that we use don't really have names. So they will just appear and they'll be quite easy to learn because Blake doesn't use is very difficult chords. As we review some of the chords we're going to use in down the country, we can see that they're quite simple. There's nothing really complicated to give us any difficulty. In some cases, as in this case, I'll put a little arrow if the string needs to be pushed over or if it's true needs to slide up as in this case from the second to the fourth fret.

Blake uses this in taught in two verses one set the end on one at the beginning. Down the country is a great piece to learn how to put the shapes together and playing Blake's particular peculiar style. And it's also grateful for getting into police dog blues, which is more complex and obviously a lot faster. Down the country sounds like this Let's take a look at the introduction to down the country. Best of luck After the harmonics we come down the fretboard and finish off in this way
