Tommy Bolin - Savannah Woman (cover) with 2 x Solos

Tommy's understated latin rocker. This uses "Wes Montgomery" style octave playing and is pretty difficult until your fingers get used to it. I'm using an Akai Headrush to provide a little background accompanyment(a little too slow here:(, ( just F7,E7 &Am), as Tommy has at least 3 different guitar tracks on this cut, so it wouldn't sound good without something to play off.
Hope you enjoy seeing how this was played! (cos it's bugged me for years)

You've done a very nice job! Perhaps I can learn this by watching your example. You've given me some inspiration to try to learn this.Thank you!

Thank you, it took a while, but if you can get those octaves down, the rest will follow.

good luck and let me know when you've posted it.

cheers!

That was awesome, great job, I just started working on this song last night and the intricate chord phrasings just make this song so unique.

Many Thanks, you can find a tutorial on "rampantzone" by John Herdt for the first solo and verses.

The rest was available in GuitarWorld in 1988
