[imaginaruis]

Excellent. Just what I wanted. Thanks, bro. Highly appreciated :-)

[Lampenorrbyn]

Thomascray have tabbed this:

[GherkinGob]

tasty!!

[ttkratzke]

Is that pdf from a book, and if so, what book?

[leathoforganicplasti]

One question.... Why don't you try to learn the entire song :D

[thomascray]

@leathoforganicplasti

I learned what was needed to accompany a sax player. I posted my take on the intro because I thought other beginners (like myself) might get something from it.

[leathoforganicplasti]

@thomascray Don't get me wrong it's awsome that you have posted this. Actually i've learned this from you so i guess thanks are in order. I didn't knew about this song till hearing you :-s but i love it. Hope i'l be able to make the rest of the arrangement for the guitar. I don't have anyone who plays a sax so... ya:( too bad i guess :)

[JMBELK]

Cool...!!!

[CisforClarinet]

Hmm I liked this! Great job dude! Thanks for posting :D

And for all those people who say this sounds like blues, that's only because the work song is based off of the F Blues scale. Very fun to improv over on sax:)

[WolfOfMartialArts]

Now do Hey Arnold :) Seriously, though, man, this is a great video, thanks for posting, and keep up the good work.

[pickinstone]

Where did you buy that van ep's string damper? I've been looking all over for them. Nice playing, by the way. simplicity can be beautiful as well.

[jeffsReed]

Hey, I've been looking for that kind of string muffler for my L7. Can you tell me what it's called? Do you know where I can purchase one to reduce feedback?

Thanks for any info

[thomascray]

Sorry, no tabs.  Just the simple PDF and the video. It's a pretty simple piece - I bet you can pick it up using your ear and watching the video.

@thomascray

[earthcore666]

fuck !! wen i play it it sound like blues

[extremeawesome]

Make sure you hit the minor notes whenever they're present, especially the Eb in the Fm chord played at the beginning of several measures. That makes a big difference.

[earthcore666]

[bigbossmatt]

[tomashcu60]

@bigbossmatt Its' not, look up 'The Work Song by Canonball Adderly'

[201447]

Been looking for a link for this tune for ages, seems no one has ever done a structured 'lesson' for the 'Work song'. Thanks for your post though, it's a great vid to work through. Keep it up!

[bennymcfarlane]

nice job! Going to try this when it's not insanely past my bed time. Looks encouragingly straightforward.

[vinnytfunk]

Hold it steady right there while I hit it, I rekon that ought to get it...

[JeanPaul1964]

cool!!

I like it very much.

[laptopshop]

cool!

i just happened to have the score form the the real easy book.

thx

[hle0871]

wher do you get that tab

[thomascray]

I just listened to the recording and figured it out.  Pretty straight forward.

[localpm]

You have great tone there-great place to start-good luck!

[thomascray]

Thanks for the encouragement!
