Our final song that we're going to learn in the key of A is called leave my woman alone by blind boy Fuller. I'm going to play it in the key of A if he listened to the original recording, I'm basing my lesson here off the second take that he did. It's alt, two or alternate take number two, and he's actually tuned down or he's got a cake bone on the second fret, first fret. At the end of this lesson series, I'll go through with you how to tune up or down and also how to put a cape on if you want to play along with the song on a record or to match your your voice. I'm going to play three or four verses my version of lead my woman alone by playing boy Fuller, and then we'll talk about the courts. There you have my version, at least part of it I leave my woman alone by blind boy Fuller, our courts once again we're playing in the key Bay and we've got our long a, a seven.

When we play our D we're never really playing a D here we're playing some double stop licks in the D position. We don't really play any chord shapes there. We do play an E seven And I should say something here about the bass in this, I listen to this tune over and over again. And I can't really identify any one pattern throughout the tune. I think in some places he's using an alternating bass. So when he's playing over the A, when he does this lick, he's playing the five and the four or you could just be thumping.

He could be playing a little bit of monotonic and then going to an alternating bass, you can do this a lot of different ways. And that's really the main reason I chose this song. There's a lot of really cool single string licks here and the key of A and also there's this the space that you can use, it's kind of ambiguous. It's hard to hear you know exactly what he's trying to do or doing. He's just doing whatever works. And when it gets over the four, he's got a different kind of base that we'll get to.

And when it gets over the five you can play this the East seventh you can play an open six string monotonic. But you can also play an alternating bass where we're going, six, four. So mess around with both. And as I break down the verses, I'll talk more more about that. There is one other core that he tosses in here. And when he's playing this lick, he's gonna go to this core, which is something that wind boy fuller likes to do, and this is an F sharp diminished.

And I've got my first finger on the fourth fret of the fourth string, got my second finger on the fourth fret of the second string, my ring finger is on the fifth fret of the third string and my pinky is on the fifth fret of the first string. We used a version of this in the Robert Johnson tune, remember we did this right there we're playing that F sharp diminished then we went back to the a seven But here we're going to use this. That chord right there. So you want to learn that this note right here is an F sharp, so it's an F sharp diminished. So once again, blind boy folders leave my woman alone, we've got a, a seventh. We've also got D chords, but we're playing them as double stops, along with some single string runs.

We've got this E seven. We can play with either a monotonic or an alternating bass, and then we have this F sharp seven that we're going to throw in there. So let's take a look at the introduction.
