Example Eight: Boil Them Cabbage Down In C

Try working the rest of the tune out on your own.

If the second string works why not try the fourth string?

Example nine: Boil Them Cabbage Down In C

If just adding a hammer-on works, why not try adding a lick? The "FMB Lick" might sound interesting.

Example Ten: Boil Them Cabbage Down in G with the "FMB Lick"

(Note that I'm using the D chord here instead of the D7. If the D chord gives you any trouble feel free to use the D7 instead)

Or we could try the third string slide.
