First and second endings

First and second endings

- [Voiceover] If you're following along in the book, you'll encounter a new notation marking in this next tune. It's called first and second endings. When you get to the repeat sign, which is the first ending, go back to the opposite facing repeat sign which in this case is at the beginning of the transcription. When you finish playing the third measure the second time, skip the first ending and jump straight to the second ending. The next beat we're going to do is one that is in the song The Devil Went Down to Georgia. It's the train beat but it's just sped up really, really fast. So, here's how it goes. One, two, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. (rapid drum beats)
