Now let's take a look at the solos played in lightnin Hopkins Mojo hands. So the first one that you heard at the beginning goes like this. So what he's doing here is he's he's gonna slide so it comes out of the of the verse. He's sliding to the 12th fret of the first string 1234 I'm doing a pull off from the 12th fret of the first string to the ninth fret. And then I'm also going to pull off the ninth fret of the first string to an open first string. So it's a, like a double pull off.
So we got this. And we do it again a bunch of times. So he's just playing that same riff all the way through the first part of the solo. So let's play it all the way through that part right there. He's just playing over that long, a shaped E chord. So I'm starting on the 12th fret of the first string to the ninth fret to the 12th fret of the second string, ninth fret.
Then I'm going to 11 nine on the third string, same thing on the fourth string and then winding up on the 10th fret of the fifth string. So that whole little run like that. And then if you watch the video, it kind of taps the guitar, keeping the time before he goes into the the ref, he's gonna play over the floor. So that single string Ron that's all played over the E or the won and then he's going to go to a little chord ref which is being played over the a seventh and all I'm doing without the bass is keeping The third, my third fingers on the third fret of the first string. And I'm picking up and getting a little bit of the second string to my second finger down on the second fret. And then I'm gonna bring everything off, get the open first string and I put it right back down.
So it's just this lick that I'm playing really right over the a seven shape. So we got this many then he's gonna go back to the shuffle over the wire. He's gonna go to the beach 787 into the next first so let's play that whole solo all the way. through one time slowly from the end of the verse second solo goes something like this So what he's doing there is we're gonna slide again to the 12th fret of the first string, but this time instead of doing this, we're going to go the other way. And we're playing this time over it, what's an F shaped E, which is almost impossible to play on this acoustic guitar. So we're going to slide to the 12th fret.
And this time, we're going to go to the 15th fret of the first string and bend it up and then hit the sixth. So almost the same lick twice with a little different, excuse me, a little different variation. So here, here it is without the bass can't help it gonna throw the bass in there. And then he's gonna play over the So he's just pointing, sliding back down. So with this going to the 15th fret of the first string to the 12th fret to the 15th fret of the second string to the 12th fret of the second string. Then just walking 1412 on the third string 14th fret of the fourth string and the 12th fret of the third string, sliding it back into position.
So we got the whole thing goes like this. Now over the five, we're gonna play something a little different. So this time, I'm keeping the a seven chord on the strings, I'm not taking it off at all. Something like that. The whole time now we're playing a monotonic bass over that part in the open fifth string right here, we're gonna do a quick pull off second fret of the first string. So that whole part over the over the four or the A, it's gonna go to an E test real quick.
And what I'm doing there is pinching the open six than the open first. And then we're gonna do this slide, which is a typical lightning Hopkins thing and what we're doing is sliding on the third fret of the second string to the fifth fret. also getting the open first string. So in context, this is what he's playing. So as it comes back, pull off the third fret of the second string. So watch this again.
She's got that little riff which is really open second string, and then that pinch of the sixth and the first. Again, we just go to our beast. When it gets here what I'm doing is betting on on the third fret of the first string, doing a quick hammer on pull off on the second fret of the first string winding up on the second fret of the second string. So we got this open first string twice and then we do our chord turnaround. So let me play that whole solo for you and include those parts. I forgot the first time around.
So we got this. That's, that's what he's playing there.
