Yes, man. For Groundhog Day blues, the way he ends, the song is really kind of cool. He does it with the series of these bass runs and then wraps it up on an East seventh chord. So let me show you what he plays here. I'll play it in context from the last verse. really kind of cool and you'll see that's by far the most complicated end tag with our songs in the key of D but what the heck and you can end this as we go through the other songs you'll see some other turnarounds and ways of ending songs that you could use for this if you don't want to learn all this, but it's really not that hard.
What he's doing is playing over the E. And he starts it out with this little bass rod, starting from the second fret of the fifth string, open fourth string and then one two on the fourth string. Open fourth. Just goes back the other way. On the fifth string, three, two or two, one opens. So watch the whole thing slowly. You can check the tab and see exactly what's going on here one more time.
And then this part's probably the most complicated. It's gonna get the third fret of the sixth string. Open fifth string six strings. So we got that. Then what I hear is maybe putting a second finger on the second fret of the fifth string and getting the open, fourth and third string the whole thing and then he's gonna make this E core and then downstream twice, I assume he's using the stump for this. That's the first half of this turnaround.
There's two parts to this the first part so we got this. Then he's gonna do this really cool low bass walk. So to one, zero open on the fifth string, third fret of the sixth string. And again with the E chord, but when he plays an E chord, he's just getting the sixth and the fifth string. Get that real basic setup. So we got this.
I could do it like this keeping the shape that's kind of hard to do. So. Go here and get the cord back right away. So let's do the whole and tech so far. There. This quick strong eye here from the fourth to the first.
Strength. In the way I do it is use my thumb pick and drag it on the fourth, third and second strike and use my first finger and upstroke the first strike. And then stick a finger on the third fret of the second string, you could use your pinky or you could use your ring finger. So that is the end tag. It's kind of complicated for such a simple song. And anyway, let me play it one more time for you slowly in context.
Let's take it from the last verse. And that is the end of Groundhog Day blues. So again all this extra stuff that I'm showing you you can add, you know when you feel like it or when you think you're ready, the basic song if you want to play this song and sing this song, you can play it with just chord shapes. Then maybe later you could add add the more complicated stuff as you go, the solo that part that's something to just give you something fun you can work on and may take you a while to get it but once you get it, you can make a complete song out of this and even play guitar solo on an acoustic guitar which you don't do all that much. So there is our first song in the key of E Groundhog Day blues by little son Jackson.
