No doubt about oh man in my buddy's backyard. In this section of the lesson I'm going to show you some of the single string runs that Wilson Jackson plays over the courts and Groundhog Day blues. The easiest runs that he plays are over the over the five. And he does these things with your all play over the E scale, the first e position they call it, so you hear stuff like this. Or maybe he's playing that while he's keeping the bass going. So the first time you hear is in the introduction, so he starts out and then he's gonna go to the to the a seventh or the four So what he's doing here and I'm playing third fret of the first string, bending up a little bit.

That's the first draft and the third fret of the second string open just like we've done out of this. We're doing this. So the whole thing and then he goes into the you can check the tab, I've got each one of these single string runs, tabbed out for you. Now later in the tune, he does a little variation. So he's playing over the B. This is that in one of the verses.

So this time doing the open second string, bending up on the third fret of the second string. And that part of the of the riff is the same. So again, in context, we're over the B. Then there's another variation later where he's doing something like this. So he does he does it differently each time around and that's kind of amazing for the for his guitar playing he didn't wasn't really known as a sophisticated guitar player. But that's kind of neat how he doesn't play the same thing twice.

He plays those riffs pretty much differently almost every time. I think there's A couple places where he repeats. So those are the single string routes, he's just playing over that he position whether he's over the B or the A. And that makes sense. Don't worry about it, just do it. Now a little more complicated example of these single string rounds is something he plays over the four during the verses of the song.

And so I just showed you the basic verse which goes like this. So what we're doing there is just playing a straight a seventh chord. But if you listen to the recording, that's not what he does. He throws in these single string rounds and he does something. I'll try to play it close to what he plays. This may not be exactly right but this is this is close to timing is a little weird.

Something like this. And you'll have to listen to the original recording to see what I'm doing. But again, even though we're playing over the over the four just playing those riffs over that e position. So let me try that again slowly for you. So that kind of thing. So those riffs that he's playing.

He's just playing over a position. So we've got all of that over the E. So as you get comfortable With playing a little son, Jackson's groundhog blues, what I would do is just pick a verse, listen to the original recording, pick a verse and then see if you can work in a single string runs. Again, I haven't tapped out for you. You can check to get the exact notes and the timing and then mess around with it a little more complicated, complex, but eventually you want to play something other than just the you know the straight song all the way through.
