00:00Hey, Josh Smith here again. We're in our fourth lesson on Triple J Hoedown, my tune from Live
00:10at the Spud. We're up to the solo, where I've built the solo up from the open section into
00:14this 12-bar blues with a 2-5-1 turnaround, and I throw it all at this solo. So I'm going to play
00:20through an entire chorus, and we'll talk about what's going on. So it's basically a blues. I'm
00:25going to play a full 12 bars. One, two, three.
00:31Anyways, we played two of those in the song, and of course I'm just making that all up as I go along,
00:57but I played a bunch of stuff in there, and it would be different every night because it's an
01:02improvisation. But basically, I started off with open G stuff. So it went from kind of open stuff
01:13to a regular blues chromatically, with a little open string droning happening there. And when we
01:23got to the fourth, I played a cool old blues, country blues thing in C, which is really cool.
01:38And I like to play that a lot, especially when C is not the one chord. When you play a lick like that
01:42over the four, man, it's just, it's like this tension is so real that when you resolve,
01:52it's a big moment, you know? So
01:57then we got to the 2-5-1, and I played an arpeggio
02:00from A minor to D7, and then back to G. And I played a full chorus of blues like that,
02:18then I'd do another one. I ended it, of course, with the blues turnaround.
02:25Just because I like to have something standard at the end,
02:27for the non-musicians in the audience that they can grab onto. Because by then,
02:31we're getting a little carried away with ourselves. After that, we're back into the last
02:36theme of the song, which is back to the...
02:44We play all three themes.
02:48And we finally end back up at the intro.
02:58And we rephrase the big lick.
03:09We all end with that big downbeat.
03:12And that's Triple J Hoedown.
03:14There's a lot going on in that song. I wrote it a long time ago, and I'm just glad people like it.
03:19Yeah.
03:24I just felt comfortable going squeaking.
03:29Exactly.
03:30Thank you very much.
03:31I appreciate it.
03:32Are you serious?
03:33I'm Suzanne Bramson.
03:34How are you messing with that collasure?
03:36I love you, thank you so much.
03:38I love you, thank you.
03:39And I have just enjoyed this one.
03:39I like something I'm young.
03:40I'm so surprised to see if he didn't get there.
03:41I love you.
03:42But I said I don't like it.
03:43That's an instant shop, you can always say,
03:44people leave the sound Miami tree and they'll reach out,
03:46and I remember it.
03:46You can read it and έкjoles.
03:48I can't, you know.
