Willie and the Hand Jive

Description

Here we'll learn the rhythm we'll be playing throughout the whole song, a New Orleans inflenced "Bo Diddley" beat.

There are two simultaneous albeit very similar parts. The part in the left channel slides up a half step on beat 2 of the second bar of the phrase.

You'll want to avoid letting the chords ring out, so make sure you mute between chords and make this rhythm part nice and staccato and funky. But keep your fingers on the strings, so the open strings don't ring.
