If You're Gonna Play in Texas (recorded at Billy Bob's) | Alabama cover

NOTE: the temp was low and the guitar refused to stay in tune but I still liked this take best - sorry if that bothers anyone. I decided to take a trip to the legendary Billy Bob's Texas (the world's largest honky tonk) for this morning's video. I chose a 1984 Alabama tune that I felt was perfect for this iconic venue. I hope y'all like it. Yeehaw!

Intro - 0:00
Song - 0:43

Thanks for checking out AD. It's such a fun venue... gotta keep it Texas as they say. I love the way the cajon and CBG sound together. It's big and raw.

Thanks John. I'm not sure I would be all that graceful on a bull (mechanical or otherwise) but then again... I'm not graceful anyway.

Looks pretty warm down there!   Good song and the guitar and singing sound good to me, but I think it would have been better had you been riding a mechanical bull.   Just saying.

Thanks Kale! I see you are handling the 7ths and minor chords the same way I am.

This is definitely the Slingers Technique Doug. You can use this for the model. I followed this same song structure.

https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/alabama/if-youre-gonna-play-in...

Use 0-0-0 for the G, 5-5-5 for the C, 7-7-7 for the D7, and 9-9-9 for the Em. Yes I realize the latter 2 are D5 and E5 but they work.

1-finger CBGslinging with your 3-string CBG; love it! Great job Kale. Please send the chart so I can add it to our songbook. Happy Sunday!
