The n tag for man slips comes LSP. Let me play the last verse and play the tag through one time and then I'll show you what he's doing. This is a chance to start learning to pick some single string rounds with both your thumb and your first finger on the treble strings and the bass string. So let's take a verse all the way through with the untag thrown in very simple but really fun to play. And that's the thing with this lesson series. I don't just want to show you the chords And you know the basic, you'll get that more you play in practice.
But I want to show you some of the fun stuff too. And when you're getting stuck with some of the more difficult lessons, you can always go back and play some of these things and just have fun with it. And this n tag for LSP is really, really fun. An n tag is really just any way that you end the song. It's a guitar phrase, it can be chord based, it can be single string rounds, or a combination of both. Here's what he's doing.
We're playing in C major. And we're just playing the C scale over the top of that and we're going from the third fret of the first string to the second fret, first fret. So that first part and then we're still playing over the C chord, we're going to go to the third fret of the sixth string. Open fifth string Back to the third fret of the sixth string. And then wind up on the third fret of the fifth string, which is a C. So the whole thing so far he's not doing any monotonic bass or any alternating bass, couldn't do it if you wanted to. Instead, he's just stopping and playing this, this series of single string rounds, and then he's gonna go to the second fret of the third string open, second fret, open and then put down a C, seventh chord.
So you got this. And you can strum that with your finger with your thumb. I'm just using a downstroke of my thumb, which is easiest. And that's all you do. So all those nodes are in the C scale. And later when I teach you a Reverend Gary Davis song called hesitation blues, we'll learn a bunch of neat little single string runs and things you can do in that position.
But for now, the N tag for LSP one more time slowly goes like this. There you have your first country blues song. My suggestion is work with this one until you feel comfortable with it, and can play it you know, at least have it memorized and know the chord progression and know what you're supposed to be doing. Try to get it down before you move on to the next song. That's the wise thing to do. But all of us like to learn as much as we can.
What I like to do is learn maybe the beginnings of two or three songs and then I can practice them and if I get bored with one I can work on the other. So Do whatever you want, but at the same time, you know, try to get these easier songs down before you move on to the hardest stuff. And this is by far the easiest one. I think we're gonna, we're gonna learn. So there you have it, and the KFC LSP by Mance Lipscomb
