Thanksfor the insight. I'll play around a bit with that. I too say some overlap with FF Blues but not enough for me to break it down. Best,EH
: Yeah, it is a little off his usual play in E.
: I'm familiar with Walkin' My Troubles Away
: and Funny Feelin' Blues, and this song does
: have some similarities to the latter,
: especially when he goes to the V chord (B7)
: and takes it up 2 frets (sorta to the VI
: chord) and back down, at least in the bass.
: And he uses the same double pull-off on the
: IV (A7). He seems to have two parts, the
: 1st, like a verse, and the 2nd, with the
: "Lordy Lord" is like a chorus. In
: the "verse" he seems to go to a
: quick V chord, moving it up 2 frets and
: back, like in the turnaround, then to the IV
: chord. In the "chorus" he seems to
: stay in the I chord and play around the VI
: note on the 2nd fret of the 2nd string, and
: whern he brushes it I think it sounds like
: he is sometimes catching the open 3rd
: string, so he's lifting one finger while
: he's putting down the other. He may be
: throwing in a bend on the 3rd fret of the
: 6th string somewhere, too.
:
: Well, that's just a quick take, I haven't
: loaded it into Transcribe! or anything, and
: there are a lot better ears around here than
: mine, but I hope that helps you out some. I
: hope you have a good washboard player. I
: think Red is great on this number and there
: may not be enough going on without it.
:
: Good luck.
:
: Anyone else?
:
: All for now.
: John C.

: Has anyone taken a crack at figuring out BB
: Fuller's "Big Leg Woman Gets My
: Pay"? I think it's in the key of E but
: it is quite a departuer from his standard
: forms. Any help appreciated.
