Come on down. Let's take our next song in the key of D is an instrumental tune. It's called old country rock. It's by a guy named William Moore. This is from about 1927 28. And as far as I know, this is one of the oldest known recorded guitar instrumentals.
And it's also one of my favorites. I'll play a little bit of it for you now and then we'll talk about the courts. like big road blues and can hate blues, old country rock is played in drop D tuning. And it's a little different. And we're going to be moving, moving down a little bit on the neck and playing some more melodic lines and some different licks that we haven't played yet. So this is a fun tune to play.
And it's also a great one to help you learn to play in the key of D. The chords and old country rock are pretty much the same as what we've seen so far. And the other tunes there's one one exception here. It's in D. So a lot of the licks and things that we're going to be playing are going to be played over the D chord. That's our one. As with the last few tunes, we're going to use the G seventh which is the G seventh that you play as your for when you're working and drop the tanning. We're also going to have an a long And then a seventh, but not quite the way we've seen them before the chord progression here is a little different.
And then as we get into, you know the song, we're going to see an E seven. And we're going to play this differently than what we've played before when we were playing in the key of E and then the key of A and the differences are low six string or low E is 10 to a D now, so we can't include that in an E seventh chord just won't sound right, listen to this. Something's not right there. So what we do is we finger it the same way, but we're going to start from the fifth string and we'll put our pinky on the third fret of the second string. there we've got a D seventh, we're also going to use an A just first position, a chord. I don't think we've used this much we've used the long a and the Seventh but just the A by itself we're going to use that as well.
So an old country rock the court you need to know, most of these you've already worked with. We've got the D, the G seven, the A, the long a with the a seven. And then we've got an East seventh from the fifth string down. And then we've got our A, which we're going to play just briefly. So let's get into old country rock by William Moore.
