12 bar blues
Tutorial: Part 2
Danny Grady: Let's get down to a D chord; this chord is based on D5 for our next four beats. Put your first finger here on the second fret of the third string and then hit the fourth string open with it twice. Then put your third finger down on the fourth fret of the third string, and hit the fourth string open, and the third string, fourth fret twice. Lift up your third finger. Again, you are going to want to keep your first finger down on all of these chords the entire time. Hit that twice, and then put your third finger back down onto the fourth fret, third string, hit it twice. So that's four beats. I will count it out for you slowly: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Come back to your original chord, your A chord, the one we just did with D, the first chord we did with A, and we are coming back to it, and we are going to do that for eight beats or two bars in a row. I will count it out for you: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Now, we are going to come back to the D chord, just bring your first finger down to the second fret of the third string and you are going to be doing the same pattern that you were doing, just down a string. We are going to do that for eight beats, the D chord for eight beats: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. back to the A for another 8 beats. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4
Scotty Moore: Hi, I am Scotty Moore. She came right by and handed me a slip of paper. I looked at her and I said, Elvis Presley, what kind of damn name is that.
Danny Grady: Starting with the first fret across strings one and two, the first fret. The second finger on the second fret of the third string, so that's a little part of an F chord there.
