Third verse, The Freddy kings butterscotch, coming from the bridge goes like this. Then he's gonna go into the first solo of the song. So, to start it out, we've got another one of these licks. And now he's gonna play kind of bend up on the 10th fret of the third string, let it hang and then bring it back down. Oh we got one of these To lead us in to the four so it's basically that same liquid played in the in the second verse but just timed a little differently to get to the F, which is the eighth fret of the fifth string. So let's do the whole the whole verse so far.
Right Here comes one of the coolest licks, in any pretty King song he's gonna do with that first finger on the eighth fret for a second third string. So he's going from the ray to the 10th fret of the forest. string, eighth fret 10th fret of the fifth string and then he's gonna go from the eighth fret of the fifth string to the sixth fret. And then he's gonna come back so like this, start on the eighth fret of the sixth string, sixth fret of the fifth string, eighth fret, back to the 10th fret. So the whole deck again, check the tab on this that's the part that threw me for a long time. He's gonna slide it without picking it.
Come back on the fifth string, and then he goes right into the, the bass rhythm or the the rhythm part over the app. Like that. So let me play the whole thing so far with that lick included. He's gonna do another one of these legs can hold it on the eighth fret of the third string. The only does three slides there cuz he's gonna launch into the solo. I'm going to take this opportunity, like I did in the previous 10, San Jose and try to explain something I think's going on at different parts of the song.
When he goes to the part at the end of each verse, where he goes from the five to the four to the one, I think he's using some open strings in there to transition to the bass note. So like, for instance, this last lick of the, of this verse right here. Sounds like there's a note between you know, right before he gets to the bass note, so the eighth fret of the fifth string is the F, which we're trying to get to when the song goes to the four, but I hear an open string leading in I don't know if it's the open fourth string, like that, or if it's the open fifth string. So let's do it from the turnaround again. I hear that extra note in there, and I don't know what it is I tapped it out in the tab where I hear it in the song.
But sometimes he does it sometimes he just goes directly to the bass note without playing the leader note, and then when it gets back to the one, I hear it again and I don't know if he's playing the fifth string, open and, or if it's the sixth string. To me, it sounds like the fifth string, the string and In front of it. So that whole section there played with that included. Listen to the original recording and listen carefully and I think you'll, you'll hear that going on. And as far as showing you exactly where he does it. I couldn't memorize this whole song and do that.
So I tried to tab it out where I hear it. And then you can play it or not, you can just go straight so like this. I think he's adding that open string and it's heavily muted with the right hand pump. Let me play the last verse one more time slowly for you ready kings, butterscotch Now we're ready to go into the wonderful solos.
