Bright Lights an Blond Haired Women

[JERRY THURMOND]

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SECOND CHORD THAT BUDDY PLAYED ON THE INTRO , I CAN GET CLOSE BUT IT JUST DOES NOT SOUND RIGHT, HE DONE IT IN THE KEY OF F THANKS

[Ricky Davis]

Its a C#7(or 5 sharp chord). There are a couple of ways to play it; but here is how I do it. Over that chord; he is making it a suspended chord and back to a 7th chord.

Remember; to play more than three notes at the same time; play the top notes of the chord with finger(s), and rake the thumb up at the same time so all notes of the chord ring together.

What recording are you all talking about?

[Ricky Davis]

Hey Earnest; I believe the song in question is on the Night life albulm by Ray Price. It's call "Bright lights and blonded haired Women".
