Topic: Cajuny feel
You know what I mean. Chugga chugga ching chugga chugga chugga ching. Not REAL Cajun, but Cajun FEELING music.
I'm working on Alan Jackson's Little Bitty in E. It hangs on the E during the chugga chugga to B7 on ching and then back to E for chugga chugga chugga and then I do a pause after an upstroke to get the final ching.
So, super easy right? WRONG! How do I get the sliding up feel on guitar that those Cajun fiddlers make seem so easy? I've been doing hammer ons with both the A and D strings on the E and that's OK. Then I tried hammering on just the G string. Better.
But getting to the B7 is trouble enough without actually trying to hammer anything anywhere. So it just comes out strummy strummy strummy instead of chugga chugga ching.
Either I need to figure out some way of hammering onto a B7 from an E or I need to hire a Cajun fiddle player to hang out in my basement until I feel like playing Little Bitty. I don't think I can afford that, even though they do eat cheap my wife gets frustrated when they make alligator soap in her best pot.
