Joe Bonamassa ~ Ball Peen Hammer

[pyromaniacguitarist]

just out of interest, what is the "ball, peen hammer"?

[shellbblue]

I believe it's a metaphor for punishment on others getting justice...

[Kabziu]

It's just a type of hammer, used in metalworking, with a hemispherical head;] But yes, it is some kind of metaphor of... sex i belive;)

[shellbblue]

LOL!!!! Yes it's a type of hammer, but going deeper than the obvious it's a metaphor. About sex? Hmmm, not sure bout that...interesting thought tho Kabziu...

Joe Bonamassa is incredible. just saw him last week. nice post!

[shellbblue]

JB has it...no doubt about it! Hope to see him again this year. Merci claptonhendrix1!

[habsfan170]

how unbelievable does that sound eh

[shellbblue]

Thanks for saving this to your favs! =) JB is very amazing to see live!!

[carswell98]

Alright, I have searched the net high and low for tabs of this song, can anybody help?

but great vid, this is my favorite JB song

[shellbblue]

Thanks for viewing carswell98. If you scroll down to RJcur's comment u'll see that JB is doing a Chris Whitley cover, so maybe check that out...good luck I dig this tune as well!

[RJcur]

Carswell, search the "Dust Forums" on google, if the tab isn't on there, then you can ask, someone will help you with the Chris Whitley version, which is slightly different mind you, sounds lower tuned than this.

If more people discover Chris Whitley through Joe covering his song so well it's win/win!

Go JB!

[kroteboy]

notice the capo on 3rd fret. That might help to figure it out if you can't find tabs.

[Quackback]

from the capo the chords are

Dsus4, C/Dsus4, Em7, G

then the chorus goes

Dsus4, C/Dsus4, A#

the bridge before he goes back into the main riff is

G, F

this isn't 100% correct, but i'm pretty sure that the root notes are correct

[racegts]

the capo is on the 3rd fret, sounds like he might be tuned all the way down to C#, what do you think?

[turminous]

I have seen all of his band members play this song and I have this CD "Sloe Gin" it is awsome

[shellbblue]

Thanks turminous for the listen & comment! :)

[PeterVermeulen]

just awsome.. I'm gonna check out this CD.. must be amazing!

[shellbblue]

Yes Petervermeulen do check out this cd it's very good!

[turminous]

Yea have have seen this at the Palace theater it was way beter but I still like it. And I have this album Sloe Gin

[RJcur]

This is a Chris Whitley cover....if you dont know him check him out, very powerful solo acoustic stuff!
