For the solo and blind boy Fuller, step it up and go. I'm going to show you kind of a simplified version of what he plays and I'll also explain what I think he's doing on this record in case you want to mess around with it. And, and let me just play it through one time and then we'll, we'll talk about it. So it comes from the end of the previous verse. Pretty much everything is the same as the verse Except this takeoff lick that he does at the beginning, here's what I'm doing. I'm gonna hammer on to the third fret of the third string, open second string, third fret of the second string and get the third fret of the first string.
Then I go to the G seven. But I think blind boy Fuller's doing is using two fingers. And picking each note I'm kind of hammering on which is easier to do. Again, if you want to do the picking there. You want to put another pick on your, on your second finger or if you're playing their finger, just use that second finger. So the solo whoops, right here.
Now we're just going to our C Sabha to our C with the sixth with the third fret of the first string. We're coming back to RG and repeating that leg. We're gonna slide go back to Ivor like that. So let me play that solo all the way through one time slowly then I'm going to show you a really fun variation you can throw in there too. So we got this So there's a solo that you can play along with, step it up and go. Now if you listen to blind boy Fuller's version, he does this really cool, cool licks, let me play a solo and I'll throw in this lick where it belongs.
Really cool. what he's doing is just pulling off the first fret of the fifth string, open fifth to the third fret of the sixth string. Something like that. And where I did that was over my for my C seven. So let's Play it again slowly. That's pretty much it for blind boy Fuller, step it up and go at least a simple version of it.
You guys are gonna be having an end tag when it gets to the end he ends on on a G seventh chord, you can listen to that and figure out how he does that. So there's our second tune and in the key of G, step it up and go by blind boy Fuller.
