Has anybody ever done a comprehensive study on Freddy Green type chords...? S'pose I wanted to learn as many of them as I could for more comping range...? Is there a book on it...?
How do I get that T-Bone Walker feel into my fingers...? I have a lot of frustration here with that. Everything I know how to play is based on a shuffle feel with eighth note triplets with the first two notes tied together. ( 'Nuther words sounding like Trip Let - Trip - let... instead of Trip puh let - Trip puh let... ) I guess that T-bone uses sixteenth note sets in a four beat measure, I get that, but somehow I just can't seem to grasp it. Is there some subtle accentuation trick that I am not getting right...?
The intro to "Thirty Days" is tha same as the intro to "Mabaline"... That makes me wonder if the story behind Chuck's "Thirty Days" is not really Part II of the "Mabaline" story. It makes sence if you imagine that Mabaline gets away, and our protaganist is forced fo resort to legal means of getteng her back home... Think about it...! Just a thought.
When you play the guitar like that, you get a lot of string clatter, but it's good not bad because it sounds sort of like snare drum percussion. Just an observation.
It's a small world. What you described about hearring Chuck Berry's "Wee Wee Hours" for the first time as a kid is an exact match of my own experiance. You said exactly what I could have said myself in detail and.. like you... it stayed with me. The flash point with me was when I first heard Butterfield and Bloomfield's "Shake Your Money Maker" in 1966.
