Byebye baby blues, there's only two chords in the song, but we're going to do some fancy picking over the G and over the C and that's why I saved the song for last. This may be chord wise, the simplest song in the whole lesson series, but picking wise it's one of the more difficult if not the most difficult. So I saved that for last Yay. So starts out we got a G shape and what he's doing, he's gonna pinch the open fourth string. And then he's gonna hammer on to the third fret of the third string, and he's got his first finger on the second fret. So we've got it's kind of tricky to get the to get that third string to wring out.

So I do it like this. That's the lick that starts out the song. So we pinch the open fourth, hammer on. And then we pinch in the G, the G chord, we got the open, second and third string and our bass on the third third fret of the sixth string. So let's try that again. We're going to stick our pinky on the third fret of the second string.

So that first lick that's the hardest lick of the whole song. Just practice that over and over again. Then he's gonna move into the C shape back to a G so we got this Gonna interject this turnaround and he's not using it as a turnaround he's using that this kind of as a leg before he goes to the four chord, which is really cool, it's one of the really cool parts of the song. He's gonna go to a g7 like that. So let's take the whole thing again from the top. Whoops, started again.

Then he's gonna go to the C and he's doing this, this picking where he's moving his first finger to the first fret of the first string, open and then back into a G but with that Third, with the pinky on the third fret of the second string. This is really an unusual song, but it's beautiful. It's a great song to play. So let's take it from the top again. Then he's gonna go to the second fret of the first string or the first fret of the second string. So we got the melody, we got this.

Then it gets the open third string. He's gonna do this little lick, where he takes his first finger on and off the third string at the second fret. But let's start from the beginning again, one more time. Get that claim. So that's gonna hammer on the second fret of the third string. So let's do it again.

Now we're going to do this leg. We're pulling off the third fret of the second string, open first playing around between the second string and the first string at the third fret. Let me play it in context. Again, we'll take it from that part. Now we're gonna come back to this to that left, this time going from the third fret of the third string to the second fret and open. So you can see even though we're only playing two chords, we're doing a lot of stuff with our right hand and also some pretty fancy stuff with our left hand, which is what makes this kind of special.

So let me play it again to that point. So if you follow that last part of the verse, you'll see we're playing this again that same leg back to the G. And then we go into the next verse and just like Casey Jones pretty much every time around is about the same but it's hard. It's a tough song to play. And you can see I'm not exactly smooth at this isn't need to play it a lot to get good at it. But hopefully, I showed you enough where you can figure the song out and listen to the original by a little head Jones and then use what I've shown you here to figure it out. Let me try to play it one more time, a couple times through and I'll try to play it slowly so you can see what's going on.

Not sure if that's how he ends it I don't remember exactly but that's how I I like to end it by Play that turnaround in succession. So there we have it 25 different country blues songs and keys, five different keys. That should be enough to keep you busy for quite a while. And as you get into the songs, I'm actually going to have a section here at the end where I'll give you some final advice and some tips and some things I've learned over the many years of playing this music and trying to figure it out. So there you have Byebye, baby by little hat gentleman's and that's the end of this lesson series.
