I teach this song in my lesson pack volume 8 (TAB + video) www.daddystovepipe.com/guitar... My version of the Arthur Crudup classic. Standard tuning, capo I, E position I'm playing a copy of a 1934 Gibson L00 made by John Greven.
Holy smokes.... Like a frieght train coming down the track. Really nice picking , vocals & switch up on alternating rhythm changes. Mr. Flying Fingers you got June bugs dancing in the middle winter !🙌
@@daddystovepipe They'd love it. A great example of how you intelligently mix and match I think. Your "Good Feeling Boogie" volume 4 for example (highly recommended to anyone) contains chords and changes very relevant to this tune and has given me a good start in tackling the solo parts in this tune. Just the speed...I learn to compromise.
I have become obsessed with Arthur big boy crudup but can’t find anyyyyyy tabbsss and my chops aren’t up to doing it by ear. Do you know of a source? Beautiful job on mean ol frisco. When I turned 20 I hopped freight trains from Florida to San Francisco just to experience life a little. Loved on haughty and ashbury homeless for a few months made money busking. Such a beautiful vibrant city.
If you want to learn my version (videolesson with tab) : open videodescription for info. John Miller can transcribe any song you want, check out his website teaching section www.johnmillerguitar.com/teaching.html
btw, Arthur Big Boy played all of his songs in cross note tuning (aka open E minor, EBEGBE), usually capoed up pretty high. You can see in this video he doesn't fret the 4th and 5th strings when playing the E or A chords ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSkLlL7hzX0.html
@@daddystovepipe thankyouuu I appreciate it. I don’t know why I thought crossnote tuning was open dm. I love Arthur’s singing so much. The first one I heard was black pony blues or coal black mare. And just thought man this guy can sing.
@@daddystovepipe I have a few extra bucks to spend this week and would like to order the individual tab for this song but was having trouble on the website. Gonna try again in a sec
Don't be obsessed with the so-called "12 bar blues". If you count the bars of the songs of the old masters, like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, Lightnin' Hopkins, etc, you'll rarely find a 12 bar blues. They are consistent in their inconsistency. Why, they just wanted to tell you a story, no matter how many bars it took.
@@marciaewell2661 Sure, if you're playing on your own you can get away with anything. Playing in a band is a different story, although...there's that famous story about Lightnin' Hopkins. He was going on tour with ZZTop (the guys with the long beards). They did a practice session and after 12 bars the ZZ Top guys started a new verse...not Lightnin', he kept on playing and didn't follow. One of the beards said : "hey Lightnin', you missed a change there". Lightnin', cool as ever said : "Lightnin' change when Lightnin' wanna change"!!
