Walk inside don't see why I should land a job. Can't get a break In this lesson we're going to put together blues in a. First of all, let's take a look at the chord structure. Of course we have a, we play a long game with a bar on the second fret for strings, and then a little finger on the sixth string. This very easily turns into a seven. Then of course we have d seven.

I don't play the four D seven, Robert Johnson kind of play the half D seven where you play the base and you dump the base with your phone and put some pull off and hammer ons on the fifth string. We'll look at this in more detail a little bit later on. So we'll use this half D seven chord e they will use some half course Clap on the fretboard. We'll look at these in more detail later on as well. So basically we have a D seven E. We have a blues. But how do we turn these three chords into a blues?

That's the tricky part. well as for the blues in E, we're only going to hit one base at a time. That is to say, a monotonic bass and we're going to damp it most often. So if we put an A chord on, sometimes I'm not playing the sixth string. I won't even bother putting my little finger on there. I just put the bar across.

So our basic beat sometimes we've doubled up again to a heartbeat So when we play the A, we're hitting the second string with our thumb. When we go to the D server, we're going to hit the bass string. Some time, we'll hit two strings. Sometimes we hit that bass string so hard that the next string just vibrates in unison with it. Sometimes to make it more interesting, instead of just hitting the bass string on D seven, we will drop the thumb down to the first fret and then back up again in this way, all lifted off all together. Go to the interest Then we move to E. E seven D seven again sorry A.

So the basic blues are going to play sounds a little like this. We are the devil. We're walking side by side. Again we will walk inside morning That we can be satisfied. Of course, there's a little bit more to it. We want to vamp on the bass strings mostly when we're singing because it's too difficult to play anything complicated at the same time.

But after we sing, we're going to fill in with some things. For example, we start on a wall girl this morning. These blues are on my mind. On a, we may do something like this. Just to give you an example of the kind of thing we're going to look at, we're going to try and fit in the little subtleties of the blues music model more interesting. give it lots of so lots of emotion, these lives Things that they just throw away makes such a great big difference.

Often the blue song started with an introduction, which is a variation on diverse. So we look at the introduction first, and then we'll see how that is changed just a little bit so that we can sing along with it. Also, I've transcribed an instrumental break in between the verses. later on. We'll also look at how we're going to sing along with this music. Let's take a look at the tablature now, best of luck with this clip, as your slide at the front You can see from the instruction The closer I'm hitting these two strings is my first thing that I'm hitting both of them together.

At the same time, my thumb is hitting the bass strings to two bass strings together. Take time to get this technique because it's very effective. Of course, if you wanted to use two fingers then it's up to you. This room down the long Robert Johnson signature movement feel to take the fifth fret on the full screen. Let me move on to the core. First of all, we hit the fourth string, our finger and then we have our own We have we hit the bass string sounds like this.

We come back to the root chord the A chord, we have a chance to Boogie while we sing. Of course, if you prefer, you can just hit both those strings together in this way remembering to down This little fill in based on the A chord is very simple but very effective. Just have to face this thing the first line woke up this morning Here again we have this very interesting hammer and pull off arrangement on the D seven chord As you slide at the neck with this inverted D shape, you're going to hit the basis quite hard, damping them and give you a lot of attack, give some vibrato put some emotion to it. This is a nice simple bass row, but it gives you a lot of power and a counterbalance to the high strings. I'll include three verses with the tablets of printout that you receive with this video.

Let's take a look at how we're going to start singing with this kind of blues. We're going to come back to a after the turnaround For example we start down we start to sing. Come back to me. play like this. We all have a play like this. We were walking side by side the seven we were walking Good morning We can be small woke up this morning.

Good morning. Have a great time
