A shuffle solo

The long-A chord

Blues Scale

The next arrangement is Betty Blues. The main lick is a shuffle on 2nd and 3rd string.
It is a very useful lick, and
you will often hear it in
rockabilly music. Look at
it as part of an A chord
and part of a D-chord, or
as part of D7 and A(7).
If you play the A7fragment on 3rd and 4t
string, and then the D at
the same string, you get
the main positions for
The Beatles' Doctor
Robert
Over the D-chord, you
just move the whole lick
up 5 frets. And you will se
from the tab that you
slide the lick down at the
end of each bar.

chords are

and then Adim7
one more time.
Note that you do
not move the 3rd
and 4th finger
through the
changes.
Just for confusion:
The dim7 is a
symmetric chord.
It is a minor third
