Buster B. Jones Teaches A Walk in the Park

Buster B. Jones Teaches A Walk in the Park Now I'm going to do is to play one more song. And I'm going to play it for Paul’s old road buddy, Mr. Chad Atkins. I wrote this song for him sometime ago. It’s called ‘A Walk in the Park’ and I'm going to play it on my get string guitar so I could sound just like to you. Okay that’s ‘Walk in the Park’. It’s not really flashy song but it’s a lot of fun to play and it’s a reel. If you’re on a mellow mood, it’s a wonderful song. I think you probably noticed that it was in a drop D tuning when I did that. And I took my E string down a full step or two frets, down to a D, rather than an E. You might want to check your tuning just to make sure you’re still with me. I’ll go ahead and give you my first string again before we get into this. And of course the drop D. Now the only thing as far as an explanation, I think I should show you on the ‘A Walk in the Park’ is there’s a couple of little things that I do in there like I do a little roll coming out that D. First time three you just right straight across, back down, and back into the D Major 7. But the second time through you’re going to do roll on, you’re going to go thumb first finger, second finger and then when you get up here, I roll it backwards. And then my thumb completes the lick. Now you’ll see that a little better when we split the screen here in a minute. There’s another roll in the middle here where I go up to a D7. As I hit for the bridge. Now the only thing you really need to pay attention here is that the thumb moving back and forth here, the finger is pretty much stay in one place, the first finger will rake two strings in one time. And it’s kind of hard to get used to letting the thumb and the first finger use the same piece of real estate but you can do it if you give it a little try. So I think what we’re going to do now is we’re going to dive in, hit hands and see and we’re going to learn ‘Walk in the Park’ with the split screen. I think when you’re playing is you need to pay attention right here and this is an important note. It gives that little color of that chord. Up and back and forth thumb and pace. Remember that chord shift it says that we’re going to roll fast next to it. Now right in that last note there, by delaying my boredom real quick. Okay once again, you can also have a look at the bridge, but you know as I'm using this pairing the notes together, roll. Once again, just slide right into this. Okay ‘Walk in the Park’ from the beginning, real slow. Well there you have ‘Walk in the Park’ made up for Mr. Chester Burt Atkins. I hope he likes it, I played it for him one time and he said, “Well I better just pay you and play” or so like that.
