Jack and Jorma,Hot Shit!!!

[toddfoll]

Those boys played loud, my god I'm surprised they can still hear a thing. Last saw em in 1974 and they nearly blew the building down...

[OldJoeCurwen]

Hot Tuna!

How to get started playing this song on guitar:

Capo on the 4th fret. Use an open G chord shape using your middle and ring fingers on the low strings. Put your pinky to work on the high E string at the 7th fret. Play alternating bass with your thumb on the low E and D strings. When you feel a groove, pinch the high E string with your ring finger when your thumb is on the D string to pluck them together. Keep that pattern going, and then try alternating the pinky at the 7th fret/index at 4th.

@aphor alternatively capo 7th fret, Emaj structure, bass on the E and A strings.

chord changes are between Emaj and Amaj

[aphor]

@mldorf Thanks! Yeah, I'm probably going to break down and buy Ernie Hawkins' CAGED DVDs so I can just learn all the combinations up and down the fretboard completely. Sadly, I don't play enough to pick it all up by osmosis. It'd probably make a nice duo for two guitars to play together each with the capos at the 4th and 7th fret respectively.

[Santi66]

Sorry but this time Jack plays the older Gibson.

[Santi66]

The Epi sounds good!

[pumazpawz]

@Santi66 The Epiphone bass came out in about 1997 or 1998.

[Santi66]

@pumazpawz

Yes, at video Mr Casady plays the Gibson Les Paul Signature, predating the Epi Jack Casady Signature. I had one of these and... the Epi sounds fine also.

Cheers.
