I usually just use the last phrase of the song for an intro.

I have to agree with Erv!

No fuss, no muss, no confusion. It works and has done so for decades.

I agree with Ray, and Erv too... For me it would be more thinking than I’m used to if I had to think in terms of the numbers like 1511, rather than the ending of the song... The numbers would just tell you what that little melody at the end of a song is made up of, but you’re still thinking melody or the tag.

Send Junior Knight a PM or an email. He has an affordable lesson that he can send you on this topic. It has tab and an audio of each intro.

I agree with most of what is said... BUT what if you don't know the song..? Will some numbers from the band leader help out...?

If you don't know the song in question, play a similar song....

Michael, did you get an answer to your question? Every one of the responses is valid, even mine, but I'm not sure you got your question answered.


From Michael:

I've been working on the different types of intros
5511,1511,4151 and 4511.

It would really be helpful if I had like 3 examples (of each) in the old country style.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Mike

Since I don't see a 4551, 1545 or a 5145, etc. I was thinking, he may have been asking for specific examples of the ones he listed.

Some of my friends – who do not appreciate the qualities of a three-chord country song like I do – tell me ALL country intros sound the same. After checking a couple of hundred popular tracks, I must admit they are just about right. Embarassed

So learn two or three, and pick any of those – they should fit reasonably well. Smile

I think it adds some spice to a song at times to do more than a simple intro.

For example, check out Buddy Emmons intro to Night Life. stevet

If you repeat it twice, that helps also. Rolling Eyes

I suppose if the singer didn't come in it helps sometimes to repeat it.

I, too, usually play the last line or two of a song as an intro if I don't know the original intro. Only problem is that my brain wasn't programmed properly and have to hum the whole verse in my head at high speed to get to the last line or two! I just have problems doing it backwards!

Michael, how about trying songs like "Born To Lose", "Release Me",
"Crazy Arms", "A Way to Survive", and "Another Bridge to Burn".
On all of these songs you can play the intro just like the last line.
You could also use it for a turn around if you don't play the melody.

Ok, here's a Mooneyesque 5511
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KoLlSZJRzZ0
Single note 5511 Not sure who, might be Jimmy in a Curly mood https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qsbgCh0q45s
Another 5511 (I'm going through my mp3s in alphabetical order: it's weird they're all the same so far), I think it's Dickey Overbey: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S8laUNW14cc
FINALLY, another progression. Buddy Emmons on a 1511
