Third song in the key of D is also in drop D tuning, and it's also by Tommy Johnson. It's called can heat blues. Let me play a few verses and then we'll we'll talk about the courts. Can't eat blues is very similar to big red blue. So this shouldn't be too hard to figure out what's going on. Although he does use a couple different chord shapes here.
So starting out the the lick that you hear at the beginning is played over a D over a D chord. So we'll learn that lick here in just a little bit, but that's the chord shape. And then just like big road blues, we've got this G seventh chord that we're going to play around with. And it's the same same shape, second finger, second fret of the fifth string, pinky on the third fret of the second string g7 and then we've got our a seven. We play like this. We've done this before with the open fifth string and then we've got a long a that we can Throw in when we get to the variations, I'll show you where that fits in.
So all those chords we've seen we've seen before, one different shape that we're going to get into is a long D chord. And there's a point in the song you may have noticed where he's going to this long D with the open six string as our base. And from there, he's going to the seventh, which is an a seven shaped the seven. And it's kind of neat how he does this. And in this tent, it's pretty simple too. There's also some double stops, slides and a few little fancy things that we're going to learn that make this to nothing and help you learn some more licks and things you can do in the key of D. So let's get to it.
