Buffalo

I first heard Horace Silver's "Buffalo" played by Davy Graham on his 1961 album "The Guitar Player" - which I bought on vinyl and still have. It's nearly a 12-bar blues but with some passing bass notes in the final bars. I've translated those bass notes into more forward chords.

Nice. I have possibly the same John Renbourn tab book as you but never got further than "Judy" and "Anji" of course.

Or maybe you worked it out, in which case even more kudos to you sir.

I worked it out - I never use tab to learn a new piece, though I do occasionally use music. I shall be posting some tab of my version on my website shortly. :-)

@HenfieldWill two years later still no tab

[HenfieldWill]

@nicecoolbuddy Sorry - started on this one and got diverted into other things! My mailbox is filled to bursting with requests for tab and videos of one sort or another. I do what I can because I like to help people - but if I worked on all the requests I get, I'd never do anything new! :-)

I've got that on Renbourn's Another Monday. Great playing

[HenfieldWill]

Yup - used to have that as well! :-)

[nicecoolbuddy]

@HenfieldWill all is good man I have learned a lot of things from your channel and I am extremely grateful... Please put it up when you can. It is a beautiful tune and I really wanna learn it.. Today I am doing the blues workout in G.... Keep it coming!!

Loved it HenfieldWill.

40 years of playing in bands certainly sharpen up the rhythm - still have to watch the speeding-up sometimes! :-)

You got my toes tapping with that. I like your style a lot and your sense of rhythm is very accurate. Nice tune!
