G'day Guit Dudes,
Seems that all the blues lick and song type notes are either very basic
twelve bar formats, or the real complex stuff.
What I'm after is the CLASSIC blues lines. I listen to this stuff all
the time, but never seem to have enough time to really sit down and
play along or work it out (I guess I'mm just plain lazy at heart).
Some examples of the sort of stuff I'm after is -:
* Hoochie Coochie Man
* Crossroads
* Mannish boy
And any other old faithfuls that come to mind.
Cheers,
Jeff.

| 1856.1 | The All-Purpose Three Note Blues Lick | AQUA::ROST | I'll do anything for money | Thu Jun 07 1990 08:12 | 17 |
Mannish Boy is real simple. One chord!!!
Usually played in E, the basic riff would be structured out of E, G and
A. Depending on how you play the lick, you can get lots of
variations..."Mannish Boy", any of a few dozen John Lee Hooker tunes,
even the verse to "Rocky Mountain Way". I just ran across this agian
in the bass line of a tune I'm working up, "Daddy Rolling Stone" by
Otis Blackwell.
"Hoochie Coochie Man" is actually quite similar to "Mannish Boy" except
it *does* go through the typical blues changes. Once I saw a vocalist
sitting in with Muddy inadvertently go from "Mannish" to "Hoochie" and
the band followed right along....then this look came over their faces
when they realized what they had just done.
Brian
