The third verse of Annie's bogie by lightning Hopkins is the solo. And here we're gonna do something really different that we haven't done, we're going to play a single note solo, or at least the first part of it is a single note solo. Wow. Keeping the monotonic bass going, this first part of the solo, what we're going to do is come down to this position, which is an E, seventh, double stop. If you put your first finger on the 10th fret of the first string, and your ring finger on the 12th fret of the second string. That's an E seven double stuff, and there's a scale we can play in here.
And those notes is what we're doing. I'd be playing over. So as I go through the solo will identify those those other notes. Now here is an E, this would be a bar shaped or an F shaped E chord. Very difficult to play on an acoustic guitar. But to find that position we just get right here above that bar chord.
So it's really one two steps above, where we have that F shaped e bar chord. Now, this really is the only tune I know of where you hear this kind of single string thing being played in an acoustic blues song. Sure, there's others but it's kind of unique. So this is fun to play and get you started playing some some single string stuff. So the way he starts it, he comes from the end. Actually, let me just play the whole solo all the way through one more time and then we'll we'll break it down.
So we got this like that so the first part he's gonna slide into that IE seven position while thumping this bass. And I'm starting it from about the 10th fret, sliding into the 12th fret of the second string and it's a pinch with the slide. So I started the 10th fret of the second string and I pinch with the sixth open sixth string. And that's how I kick it off. So the treble notes check this tab for this, I don't want to go through this note by note because I'll confuse you. But this is the first phrase.
I think I may have played it differently when I played it all the way through the second time, but this is the way he plays it on the recording. So we're sliding in keeping the bass going the whole time. The second time he slides it through, he does a little little variation. So we're going we're getting this note here, which is the ninth fret of the third string. Those three notes 10th fret, eighth fret of the second string, ninth fret of the third string, those three we're going to use a lot here. So that second phrase, let's do that again.
Actually, that's the first one. Here's the second one. I'm gonna bend up, I've got what I call a three fingered band, my first finger is anchored on the eighth fret of the second string. And I'm bending up on the 10th fret of the second string. Just let them hang there, but I'm keeping the bass guy so the whole thing with the bass. And then the third one, this is the tricky phrase, this is the third phrase that we're playing over the one or the E. So we're still thumping the open sixth string, we're gonna play this.
So this one, let's go through, no by now, it took me a long time listening to this 10 to figure this out note for note, so he slide in, just like he did at the beginning. But now he's gonna go well, on the second string, it's a chromatic round. We got this And then we're gonna go to the eighth fret of the second string with a little band. Then we're gonna do that band again on the second string. Right as we reached the top of the band, we're gonna tuck the pinky under and get the 10th fret of the first trip. Check the tab for this.
Let me play those first three phrases slowly. Again, you play those notes with the bass thumping whole time, it's really pretty cool. We'll play it again here at the end. From there after we come out of this slick, slide down. And then we're going to get into the ASAP man and hold it there. The second time we do the slide or the pull off, that tells us we're gonna go back to the one.
We've done that before, back to the beach. Now we got a little stop time. What I'm doing, instead of playing this, we're gonna do a stop, we're bending up on the third fret of the first string. I'm gonna do a hammer on pull off on the second fret of the first string, and then wind up on the second fret of the second string. So the whole little deck Then I'm gonna go to an E, and twice with the upstroke on the open first and second strategy. So let's take that whole, the whole thing in context from the B seven.
Then we go in to the next verse. So let me try to play the third verse again with this solo verse. And, again, check the tab and I've tried to memorize this. And I know that first lick when I'm sliding in, sometimes I play that just a little differently. So check the tab and I have it tabbed out the way you hear lightning played on on the recording. So here is the solo again, third verse of lightnings.
And he's Boogie. And that'll take us in to verse number four.
