Chords are:. With these licks you can go through the whole song. Some ideas:. The end is a typical Blues ending, going down the scale to the root, then opening to the 7th chord:. Never heard this name? He was not only an excellent guitar player, he also wrote some well known Blues songs.
Great album. Back to the song. We start at the second fingering pattern and go down to the root note A. You may also start with the double stop on string B and E, 5th fret, but then you have to change your finger position to reach the 10th fret. The following is easier:. You can play these licks also during the vocals or just strum the chords, so you have all to go through the song. We end with a triller 5tr6 at the D string A7 chord. Then the vocals start, the rhythm guitar is played like described above.
The turnaround can be played sliding up the E major chord:. After 40 seconds we get the first guitar lick I noted it around the 7th fret, but as always you can also play it in the first Blues fingering pattern with open strings. I just want you to discover more parts of the fretboard…. Note that the last two notes are both E with an octave interval.
This lick is used several times during the song. Barbecue Bob — , a very popular Blues musician in Atlanta, recorded it in for the Columbia label Motherless Chile Blues. The guitar plays rhythm only, fast strumming and a background guitar with some arpeggios. To ease the chord searching, here they are:. He also played his slide guitar with other stars like Sonny Boy Williams or Big Maceo, but he died lonely without a cent left in a psychiatric clinic. The song is in C , no surprise.
The end is a slide from the C to the C major chord. We can use only the B and E strings with standard tuning, so slide from the 8th to the 9th fret picking only these strings. The chord progression for the main verse and the main solo goes like here as 16 bar Blues :. The chord progression for the second vocal part trouble, trouble… is different and shorter 8 bars only :. The notes of the G dim7 chord are similar to the Ddim7 chord with D instead of G as root.
To complete the confusion, even Bdim7 and Fdim7 use the same notes. Those chords are called enharmonics — same notes but different root. Before you start playing the lead, play the rhythm until you know which chord you are soloing over. Although you can use the D Blues pentatonic minor scale you need to add once more notes from the major scale you may call it mixolydian, see basics.
This Blues, written and recorded first by Muddy Waters in Chicago in for the Chess label, is typical for the early Chicago years of Muddy. He moved his delta Blues style slide playing from the acoustic to a Chicago style electric slide guitar, played with harp player Little Walter and got Jimmy Rogers, Otis Span and Elgin Edmonds in his band.
It was the first that got to me, and the music of Muddy Waters is still the most important music in my life today. Like the late Muddy he used standard tuning and a capo on the first fret. Muddy himself played a short metal slide on his pinky and used a thumb pick. The guitar is mainly used for the background, the vocals dominate together with the harp player the song. I transcribed some harp licks for guitar.
Use the F minor pentatonic scale, 1st or 13th fret to start. The main theme is a slide from F to G. The intro to get started:. This very old Blues was the first big hit for Charles Brown , a piano player from California. Try to keep it going. The other notes are a bit tricky and hard to follow, but if you get the main theme you can use your own variations. Use the standard 12 bar Blues chords E, A7, B7 for the main riffs and your finger set. The background guitar during the vocals is played using the riff above for the I, then for the IV and V chord arpeggios over A7 and B7 using the open chords that are chords with open strings, for a better bass line.
Note that he played the E note after the slides using the open E string, not the G string at the 9th fret. A bit unusual to play, but sounds much better.
And finally the last vocals played like the first one. The last song was written by Willie Dixon , one of the most important producers for the Chess label. He wrote this song for Otis Rush, who recorded it in Chicago, , not for the Chess but for the smaller Cobra label later Rush also recorded songs for the Chess label. Groaning the Blues is a slow Blues in A, played hard with much distortion. Using the first two fingering patterns of the A Blues scale 5th fret we can already play most of the song.
The licks during the vocals are not too hard to find out, just use the A Blues scale as described above, sometimes a bit too fast to follow. At we have a strong solo starting with a full-tone bend and artificial harmonics. To get this sound pick near the bridge and mute the non-picked part of the string:. D9 A7 Got D9 A9 G9 I G9 A9 G9 Bad love D9 is At we have a solo, all around the D minor Blues scale at the 10th fret. The chords for all verses are: All A7: The A7 A7 then D7 A7 But E7 D7 A7 well Chords in standard position: The rhythm guitar is easy, you know that riff from the Blues Breakers album already: C7 F7 G7 II II II II II II Unsure about the notes?
That was it!
