nice one.....I had not put that third on the B string in my ninth chord nor had I thought to move that voice up a fret...from James Brown record I knew that as a three note chord.
I would suggest when showing us a stop time tune that you play it through a couple of times without fully halting the tune so one can tell more easily when the stop time hits happen. I think that might be more clear.
See ya tomorrow in Lincolnshire! Hope you do not get rained out tonight in Peoria.
so this is Peck Curtis the drummer from Sonny Boy's King Biscuit boys singing it. I did not know he sang. Levon Helm used to play Peck's kit when he was coming up...the lead harp is Sonny Boy but I cannot tell what else is happening here.
dialect......I meant you follow SJ's somewaht mangled syntax for those words and I have heard others try to straighten that mess out so it makes more sense. I was just noting the options you choose..like not singing all up high.
Corey, Little Feat and later Eric Clapton did 44 blues with a more second line thing happening...Clapton with Andy newmark from teh blues tours of the mid90s. Little Feat (with Ry Cooder since Lowell ruined his hand) from the first LF record...I think they are worth chceking out FWTW.
Corey, I know and love Wolf's version best...I think I have him doing it live as well.. I have seen Jody Williams do it around chicago (the band was a mess though) and I like Clapton's version from the blues tour when Andy Newmark was his drummer. That version which is on youtube among other places has a real nice second line feel thing going. One has to do something because only Wolf could sing like that (with all due repsect to Taj and even Sonny Boy who imiitated Wolf at times)......I know the time is rather loose. I truly am a nervous wreck when recording even something this casual. I didn't even play a full verse since I hate to hear myself after the fact.
I hope your trip is easy and fun (any new turbans?)
duke, pardon me but what is that guitar?..it looks and sound similar to my 50s Silvertone which I dug up in a pawn shop in chicago. that good stiff archtop with a single PU in it
here is a quick overview of the way I do this one...no disrespect to how Corey does it of course. I have been grabbing phrase here and there out of these lessons to graft onto the tunes I do.
Frank Zappa's favorite song! thanks Duke.
I hear that as hair a-socked sort of like the times they are a-changing.
around here we call the major minor chord: the Hendrix chord
some nice ideas thanks.....cool to see the new guitar BTW

thanks...the major 3rd licks are nice to add to my trick bag
nice series of lessons..thanks Duke!

hey nice Alex!
Mike, Gregg Allamn covered this recently...like in 2011...the intro is not uncommon (the minor chords make it rarer)
interesting choice to sing the first verse in the dialect if you know what I mean.....I love Skip James' music.

nicely explained..thanks
you play this with a work song rhythm rather than more of a second line thing....nice stuff Corey
