The first lick that we're going to work on is this Lightnin Hopkins bass lick. It's very simple.
What we're going to do is we're going to strike the low E, then fret with our ring finger on the third fret of the sixth string
and then fret with the second finger on the second fret of the fourth string.
Now notice that I did lift up the ring finger after I played it.
So in other words, I didn't hold it down. I went…
But I did keep the E, the fourth string second fret in motion. In other words, I want to keep that sustaining.
Ok.
So that's the basic lick there.
E, G, E.
I'm going to give you just a minute to work on that.
Again, I'll show it to you.
Don't forget to take the ring finger off.
