You got to laugh Then you break your heart a little baby. Let the clouds roll by a little baby. When justed to sound the world has lost its charm. When there's just a loss you got to laugh right? Just when you got the map that's the globe. Glory of love.

The version by Big Bill broonzy is an exciting piece of music to play. There aren't too many chords. It's basically a swing song in C. But of course the way that it swings along is the big challenge. Big Bill use his thumb as usual on the basis and he trends tends to break Along the basis in two or three at the same time and damping immediately afterwards. Because it's quite a complicated picking piece. Although Bill's thumb is just hitting a few bases at the same time and alternating.

We need to keep the rhythm very, very steady and make it swing along at the same time that our fingers pick out the melody. Big Bill just use one finger for his treble work with the right hand and it moved around a lot and helped along with the swing, sometimes hitting the base nose. At the same time that bill use his thumb to maintain the rhythm of the swing heavily. Sometimes I feel that it also hit with his fingers to accentuate you'll see what I mean when we look at the tablature in more detail. Let's take a look at the code. We're going to use.

Glory of love is a piece in the sea. Use a basic C code. Sometimes a full C code and often this code there's a discord here between the first two bass notes that's built is tamping heavily. It doesn't really matter. In fact, if you played the both bases open, it wouldn't matter. This leaves a little finger free to play the last string, this chord.

Sometimes we'll use the basic C chord and the little finger as well in this way. We have a basic g7 chord for F code And here again, this half F chord, which leaves us free to use our little finger on the high string again. In one place we use the D seven code when Bill is saying a one point us half a D seven clause. When we start looking at the tuition in detail, you'll see my right hand and the tablature underneath in this way. After that, you'll see my left hand with a tablet and a chord diagram in the right hand corner in this way Bear in mind that I use a cap on the first fret, because I tune my guitar down half a step. But when you see the chord diagrams, you won't see the capital.

So you have to imagine this cap was not there. So the second fret is actually the first fret, if you see what I mean. You've already seen the performance of the playing glory of love. When we move to detail tuition before my right and left hand close ups, I'll play that section at the correct speed beforehand. Big Bill's version of glory of love is quite long, but then we eventually come To the part where he starts to sing. Up until that point, we're trying to maintain the rhythm and the beat, work with our finger on the travels and try to maintain that swing, which is quite a challenge.

Now when we start to sing, we don't maintain the same complexity, rather we strung with the thumb. And then again, we just hit six, or the fifth string with our finger in this way. So we ended up from the introduction with this riff. We started saying, you got to roll by. That's where we play that filling between the verses. As you can see here.

And then we start to sing again. In this section, we make a little bit louder as we finish to make it interesting, a little bit exciting. Here we're struggling with our thumb and our fingers sliding up to maintain the beat when You got let's blues roll by a back into the instrumental part of it. Hopefully we started the instrumental part, the same pace, the same rhythm that we left the first instrument in the introduction. But often when I was singing, I tend to lose the rhythm. It takes a lot of concentration, a lot of practice.

Try and play around with Big Bill using headphones. And eventually, you start to feel his swing the way that his thumb works away at his fingers work. Now the end of the song bill is still singing, but it slows down and provides a really nice emphatic ending to the song with a riff to finish off Stop saying this, you got to leave. That's the glory. Finishing on that lovely high C. Often with a little finger. I'll hold two strings down at the end like that.
