Now I'm going to show you the end tag for Mississippi john hertz, coffee blues. This is one I hear you hear I'm playing a live version of the song. It's also the kind of the basics of a lek that we're going to use as a turnaround here on a couple more of these songs in the key of A. So let me take I'll play one verse through and I'll throw in the end tag and then I'll explain what's going on here. So that lick that I play at the end is played really using the long a shape and what I'm going to do is pinch The fifth our fourth strand and the first string. So when I come out of the ease, I get ready to wrap up the song I'm playing that e lick.
I'm gonna get the a shade. And I'm gonna upstroke twice on the on the first and second string. Then I'm going to use my ring finger and put it on the fourth fret of the fourth string and pinch the fourth and the first string. And you get a little bit of the second string too with that first finger. So we've got this. One, two, and then we're going to take off our ring finger and put our second finger on the third fret of the fourth string.
And then one quick pinch. Just in the regular long a shake. My hand is aching that is this. That's a tough chord to hold for a long time, even if you played it a lot like Yeah, but anyway, again, Let me play it from the E. Mini coax it off. And he could play an A chord. Or you could strum along a chord.
I'm not sure which one he does on the recording that I'm thinking of, but both of those will work. So there you have the end tag for Mississippi, john hertz, coffee blues. And again, the 10 is pretty straightforward. You just play the same thing kind of over and over again over each verse. A little variation here and there and then you've got that neat den tag. As a way of wrapping it up.
