Old Joe Clark, Part 2

You got the first part of “Old Joe Clark” down in Part 1, right? So, let’s learn the second (or B) part. And then put the two parts together to play the entire tune. You’ll also learn the technique of sliding into a doubled note—the open A string and the same note (A) played on the seventh fret of the D string.
