The introduction to little son Jackson's blues come to Texas is really kind of cool. He's gonna play this leg. start it off, and I've got a tabbed out for you. So I'm not gonna go through note for No, but what he's doing is sliding into that double stop to start it out. So I've got my first finger on the ninth fret of the second finger on the 10th fret of the second string. And he's gonna slide into that and then take his pinky is into the 12th fret of the first string.
And then you're also gonna be thumping. Think the bass comes in right about there. You can do this however you want. You could even leave Bass out until you get into the chords. It's up to you. But anyway, let's just learn the treble part first because that's a little tricky.
That's the first leg and then he's gonna go. He's just keeping those two fingers in position, picking the second string first string, and then putting his pinky down on the 12th fret of the first string. So we've got this. And then right there, he's gonna slide that double stop down the neck to an A, or you can also use an a seventh there. So the introduction let me play it for you slowly. Actually, I forgot that little is a typical blind lemon Jefferson thing sliding into the A from one step below, so I've got and then we go to the pick that however you want to do it, and then he's gonna go into this D. So what I'm doing there is just like we did in mockers blues.
Sliding into the D double stop on the first and second strings. My second finger is gonna slide from the sixth to the seven. My first finger is gonna be on the fifth fret of the first string. And then I'm picking the eighth fret of the first strand bending. And then I'm taking it off again, the first string And then keeping my two fingers there. The second string and then back into my so we got this the whole time blues.
We got our open fifth string as the bass even though we're playing over the D. So the whole intro so far. So right there, he comes out of this actually he goes to the long as right before he switches At the back. So let me play that whole introduction. Let me play that again slowly, one time. And that's what he's doing. I have a habit.
When you do that slide, I really think it's easier to use your first and second string or first and second finger. If you can do it as far as the bass goes, you can keep the bass gone or you can bring it in, drop it out something like this. You can do all kinds of rhythmic things there and mix it up. Give a listen to the original recording by little son Jackson. You can see exactly what he does. I'll have it tapped out the way I hear it on the recording.
So there's the introduction. Let's get in to the verses.
