The next part of candy blues starts out with this double stop, slide this descending double stop slide and I'll take it from the end of the first part we got this. What I'm doing there is I'm sliding I'm pinching the open sixth string. And I'm sliding from a D shape to a D double stop on the first and second strings. This right here is a bar chord, a D bar chord, second position barre chord. If we're playing electric guitar. What I'm doing is taking that D shape and I'm sliding and keeping my first finger on the fifth fret of the first string, and my ring finger on the seventh fret of the second string.

I've got a D double stop, so I've got this throw in that bass when I want to, or I cannot play it at all, it's up to you. So we've got no, we're just gonna move it up down from the fifth and seventh frets to the fourth and six to the third and fifth and then back to our D shape. So we've got that and that takes us right back to this leg. So this might be a little tough for you. So let's try it from the from the end of the previous first. Then right here, gets the open six string.

Now we're going to this long D to D set without the bass we're playing long with the bass. Again, you can play that as much or as little as you want. I just throw it in there. I try to mix it up each time I play it. And then we got this D chord our bass lick. There you have the whole first four can heat blues.

Let me play that again slowly. There's another variation I threw in this time when I went to the a seventh instead of playing this. I played this slight variation. I'm not sure if Tommy Johnson does that but it's something I I like to do. And there's something different you can play in there. With the with the thumping, alternating bass.

Let me play that whole part. Again. We'll take it from the end of the previous verse. I threw in another variation, which is kind of fun. When I went to the a seven. I just played that and then I went to that same bass riff that we've used over the D. And now we're gonna play it over the A.

And I'm just moving my fingers over a string. So my first finger is now on the second fret of the fourth string. And my second and ring finger are hammering on to the third and fourth fret of the fifth string. Like that, and walking in to my g7 that way. Last thing we're going to learn here is the N tag for candy blues. This is really fun to play and very, very simple.

So let me take it from toward the end of the previous verse, the last verse and then I'll show you how he wraps it up. Part of that's from the original recording and part of that is my own little twist that I took from big road blues. So what he's doing as it gets to the end of the verse right here, he's gonna go to this shape right here, which is a double stop and D and I'm using my open six string throughout. And then I'll show you I move over to the fifth string when I play the AC seventh chord and then I come back to the open six strings. First finger on the fifth fret of the first string, second finger on the sixth fret of the second string. So we got move it up one fret.

And now we go to the a seven. With the open fifth now is our base. We can play a whole D chord, or he just played that same shape. So we got this. We're gonna repeat it. So let me play that in tag one more time slowly from the from the end of the other verse.

And there you have candy blues by Tommy Johnson.
