The second verse of Freddie King sensation starts out almost exactly, pretty much exactly like the first verse. But then we'll run into a couple of variations and we'll, we'll go through those. Let me try to play the second verse all the way through one time before we try to tackle it. That's reasonably close there. The first part when he's playing over the one over the A, he's playing exactly what he played in the first verse, so just do the same thing. Okay.
Now in the second part where he plays over the floor, this is when he's going to throw in this Kind of raking thing. And so let's get to that. So the song goes over the floor, he just played that he's gonna play this. So the first time he does it, he does that normal just quick upstroke and then the last two times he does it over the floor he's gonna do he only does it twice. And what I'm doing is upstroke in and getting the first I've got my first finger on the fifth fret for a second and third strings, the same position I use when I do those chops, but now he's just kind of drag, drag the pickup and if you listen to the original recording, he mutes it with his palm. That's really tough to get.
That's something that takes practice, but he does mute it with his palm heavily. And just listen to his version and if you want to play it just like he did, that's what he's he's trying to do. And then he goes into this, another one of these right here. Play something a little different. Check the tab, listen to the original one more time. Make sure you get the vibrato.
To me that's one of the keys of the Freddie King sound is those pauses he takes to really make those notes Sing out. They just another one of these. To wrap up the second verse, let me try to play verse number two Freddie King sensation one time through slowly There is verse number two of Freddie King sensation
