The introduction the key to the highway, we're going to start out with this B seventh shape and a seventh shape B, B seven. And the first thing I'm going to do is thumb, the fourth string and then get the third string. So that's how we're going to kick this off. And then we're going to go back and forth. With the B seven shape using my pinky, gotta use your pinky here because we have to keep the B seven shape. Go back and forth between the ninth fret or the seventh fret and the fifth fret on the first string and our base.

After that initial, we're gonna stay on the fourth stray Check the tab on this one more time. That's how we're starting off the song. This is how big bill does it on the version that I'm following here. Then we're going to go to an a seventh lead into it with that little stumble base, open six, open fire and choke it off with our right hand palm. We're gonna play this really difficult lick on the a seventh. If you have trouble with this and I have trouble with it.

Sometimes you can just play a straight beat a seventh, you could play something like this. But what he does in the original or the recording I'm listening to is he's gonna keep the shape and go third fret, second fret on the first string and then take his hand off and put it right back on with the session. finger on the second fret of the first string. So we got this number going back three to coming back down on it. And we got this hammer on pull off with the ring finger, so the whole lack we got that is difficult. I'm just learning this too, for this 10.

So again, if this gives you trouble at first, you can just play the intro like this, whoops. And then we're gonna go to the E by getting the open set, which is our base over the one and then hammer on to the first fret of the third string. Something like that. So we got this and then we're going to go into this, this a double stop turnaround, lack What I'm doing here is sliding in this shape, I'm going to make a D seventh shape. That's what I'm going to use here. So let's just get our first finger on the second first fret of the second string, ring finger on the second fret of the first string, second finger on the second fret of the third string, and we're going to slide the third string from the second to the fourth.

Like that. I think that's pretty close to what he plays so he flies into this. I'm not sure if he keeps going or not trying to remember you could do it either way. Just drop the bass out like that or play it with the base. Either way, Then he's gonna do this little bass slide into the B seven chord and he does this throughout the song, so we're sliding from the second fret of the sixth string to the fourth fret. And then right away moving that B seventh shape, so we've got the fifth second fret of the fifth string.

So let me play that whole introduction to Big Bill parentheses key to the highway slowly so we start on the five and then we go into the song
