2914.0. "Lets Work Together on this one!" by LARVAE::BRIGGS_R () Wed Apr 06 1994 11:24

    
    I've been trying to work out the lead part to Canned Heat's "Let's Work
    Together". I just cannot seem to 'hear' the notes especially the
    distinctive fill at the end of most lines (it also occurs at the end of
    the intro). The problem is probably due to the harmonics caused by the
    distortion used.
    
    Can anyone give me some idea of what's being played? Tab would do
    nicely.

2914.1If I had a recording of it...COOKIE::S_JENSENMon Apr 25 1994 10:3912
    Since this has been sitting here a while, I assume nobody knows it or
    is interested in figuring it out.  I don't know it either, but if
    anyone locally (Colorado Springs) has a recording of this song they'd
    let me borrow, I'll try to figure it out for Richard.  A cassette off
    of a CD is perfect (but any recording with reasonable fidelity is fine)
    -- you'll get the cassette back.  If I can figure it out, I'll post the
    tab here for everyone.

    Any takers?

    steve,
    
    	Thanks for showing interest. I *think* I have it it just that the
    lead part on the record seems to induce all sorts of harmonics because
    its played with overdrive. The harmonics confuse my ears to hell. I
    think it may just be a question of playing with various overdrive
    seetings to get the right 'sound'. Whether its possible to reproduce
    this on a Strat I don't know. Probably the original is played on a
    Gibson..
