Some day your name will be in lights sayin' Johnny B. Goode tonight.

Now we will add in tacits to this song. Each chord during the chorus will have
1 measure of the chord then 1 strum in the next measure, then stop the sound
for 3 beats (tacit) until the next chord. Just do it on the chorus section.

Hammer and Pulls
• Guitar II should practice the scale doing
the following:
– Ascending (going up the scale), only pick the
1st note on each string and then hammer any
other notes.
– Descending do a pull off and only pick the 1st
note on each string.
Notes in A blues Scale
• The notes in the scale are as follows:
– A, C, D, Eb, E and G
– These can be played anywhere on the
fingerboard.
– Draw out all of the notes on the guitar
fingerboard in this scale to the 15th fret.
– Take those notes and find the 5 basic
positions to play the scales in.
– The previous one is an example. Try to cover
a whole position across at least 5 strings.
Double Stops Guitar II
• Now that you have the scales do double
stops for each of the scales – 2 notes on
consecutive strings.
• Try to find combinations that work good for
you.
• Then add in some chromatic passing
double stops between them.

Arpeggio fingerpicking
• Arpeggio means “broken chord”. An
arpeggio is just playing the chord as
individual notes. There are many different
arpeggios that can be played.
• We will start with a simple one. But first
must review the correct right hand
position.
Correct Picking Hand Position.
• The right hand position is important in order to
get not only a good tone but to play
progressively more difficult pieces.
• If you are right handed the thumb needs to be in
front of the other fingers (to the left). Have it
ready to hit the lower pitched strings (4, 5 and
6).
• The fingers should be curved and touching each
other. They should be ready to hit the following
(index ready to hit the 3rd string, middle finger
the 2nd string and ring finger the first string.
The Rest Stroke
• For the bass you should do the rest stroke.
• How it works is that when you hit a note
with the thumb you will follow through and
rest or stop on the next string.
• This gives you the fullest sound.
The 2/4 or 4/4 basic pattern
• Each of the following get ½ of a beat.
Count What you play
1 Thumb hits the 5th string
& Index finger plays the 3rd string
2 Middle finger plays the 2nd string
& Ring finger plays the 1st string.
You would do this 2 times for 4/4 time.
Count What you play
1 Thumb hits the 5th string
& Index finger plays the 3rd string
2 Middle finger plays the 2nd string
& Ring finger plays the 1st string.
3 Thumb hits the 5th string
& Index finger plays the 3rd string
4 Middle finger plays the 2nd string
& Ring finger plays the 1st string.
Be sure to count while you play.
Each of these is played on an
Am chord. Only the bass notes
change when you change chords

Introduction
• This is a classic Robert Johnson Dominant
Diminished Turnaround used as an
introduction.
• Chords (if played to it would be)
4/4 ||: A A7 D Dm6 | A F7 E7 E7 : ||
Either of these works fine.
Take your time and learn this.
Play it on page 284 of the book.
Solo Analysis
• Notice how much the chords are used on
this!!
• Scales are the A mixolydian and the A
blues scale. Hope this is beginning to
make some sense to you.
• Again I don’t think you can all get this
during this term, but some of you can and
the rest can work on it at a later date (like
over the summer)!

Scales to use against this progression.
1. For entire progression use E blues.
2. For the E and E7 chords: E blues, E mixolydian (A scale starting with E), E minor pentatonic,
E major pentatonic scale, E dorian mode (D major scale starting and ending on E), E 1/2whole tone.
3. For the A and A7 chords: E blues, A mixolydian, A minor pentatonic, A major pentatonic, A
dorian mode (G major scale starting and ending on A), A 1/2-whole tone scale.
4. For the B7 chord: E blues, B mixolydian, B minor pentatonic, B major pentatonic, B dorian
mode (A major scale starting and ending on B), B 1/2-whole tone scale.
Introduction is above. You slide on the first note from the 3rd fret to the
5th fret of the 2nd string. By playing the 2 E notes together it really fills
up the overall sound.
Get this first as it is the feel. It is in a shuffle. It does not have to be exact.
The feel is the important part not the exact notes. For the 3rd fret of the 6th
String you bend the note up to the pitch of the 4th fret 6th string.
For the A chord. Note in the last measure the triplets.
This part will take some work. The B7 is all triplets and for the 1st half
of the A is triplets then a flurry of 1/16th notes. You should hammer and
pull on these notes. Then back to a triplet. To do this properly you
must listen to the recording!! I can’t stress that enough. The E7 is just
a turnaround.
The tacit figure.
I have included the solo section
• While the solo section is difficult it is not
impossible to learn.
• Note that for me it would be better to take some
of the ideas you like and use them. That would
be better than just doing the solo note for note.
• When performing, if you are doing it note for
note and you make a mistake you can get
yourself into trouble and not find your way back.
Be sure you can solo without the crutch of doing
SRV’s solo note for note.
Now Put it all together.
• Divide up the parts. With a power trio you
will have bass and guitar. But it can work
to have a lead in there also.
• Towards the later part of SRV’s playing he
added in a keyboard player. That was to
fill the sound. A rhythm guitar could
accomplish the same thing.
Some things you can do. For the A7 coming down play a A7/C#.

Slash indicates that the next letter is the bass of the chord.
So E/D would be an E chord with a D note as the bass or lowest note.
The introduction to 8 Days a Week is:
4/4 ||: D | E/D | G/D | D : ||
Notice that the same fingering
applies to many chords.
Timbre (tonal) differences
• Notice the difference in sound when you play close to
the bridge compared to over the sound hole on your
guitar.
• The reason is that when you play over the bridge the
overtones are sounding louder and the fundamental
(note you play) are softer in volume.
• Overtones are the multiples of the fundamental tone.
For example, if you played an A = 440 Hz. Then the
overtones would be 880 (2X), 1320 (3X), 1760 (4X),
2200 (5X) etc.
• The closer you play to the bridge the louder those
overtones sound and the softer the fundamental sounds.
• For 8 Days a week play over the sound hole until you get
to the section starting with an A chord (bridge of the
song) then play near the bridge, on the repeat go back to
playing over the sound hole.
Strum over the sound hole of the guitar.

Beware of pretty faces that you’ll find.

Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow.

They’ve givin’ you a number and takin’ away your name.
VERSE 3
Living on the Riviera one day,
And then layin’ in a Bombay alley on the next day.
I know you let the wrong word slip by kissing persuasive
lips;
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow.
REFRAIN
Secret Agent Man, Secret Agent Man –
They’ve givin’ you a number and takin’ away your name.
