For the third and final verse for the song, a pull the line directly from Robert Johnson's tune little queen of spades. This is one of my all time favorite licks to play on the acoustic guitar. So let me take it from the five of the previous first and then I'll play this one time and then we'll figure out what's going on. Throw in the tag two. And we'll learn that right here in this, this versus this lecture as well. So what I'm doing here is I'm doing that same lick that I did at the start of the second verse, but I'm just playing it a little differently.
I'm going like this. Then I'm shifting it. And then watch this. So I'm just moving it just like we did in the introduction to the song. Right here, I'm making a kind of an abbreviated f shape a chord, got my first finger on the first and second strings at the fifth fret, and my second finger on the sixth fret of the third string. This is an A.
Just like if you played a barre chord or an F shape. What would you Using the two fingers, so we've got this. We're just walking it down to the a and then right back to where we started from. It's really cool. And again, listen the little queen of spades and he does this a couple different ways. From there, we're going to ID I can do that or you can just stay here.
Stay right there. Then we're gonna do RR in tech. So let me play that whole verse slowly. One time through In the previous verse Now we're ready for the end tag of the song. Robert Johnson had a lot of different cool ways of ending the songs and several of them in the key of A involve this turnaround that we did before with some variations thrown in. And the one I played for you here at the beginning is just simply kind of the easiest one to do and he changes The picking pattern, so it gets to the end of the verse.
So instead of playing this, we're playing we're going quickly from the fourth fret to the third fret on the fourth string. So we've got this. We're going to get a pinch of the long A, then I'm going to go to D, E seven and then East seven, sorry, thinking one step ahead. So a D seven and then and then on the a seven. That's what I meant to say. So let me try to play that and tag slowly for you one one time.
One more time. Take it from the five. So there you have three verses, and an intro and an end tag worth of Robert Johnson licks to fool around with in the key of A, if you want to put this together into a coherent song, listen to little queen of spades. I think that's the easiest one to the Robert Johnson tune tunes in a to get started with can also listen to 30 to 20 blues. That's one of the first tunes that I got into. It's the same stuff that I'm playing here but played a lot faster, different tempo.
Anyway, a couple more Songs in the Key of Coming up
