"These blues"

This one is a bit tougher for me to hear... but I think it goes like this:

These blues (chords are 8th fret Cm, sixth fret Bb7, fourth fret Ab7, third fret G7)

[Cm]A hundred miles is not too far
Unless you have to [G]walk
Life, it seems, is like a dream
Until you have to [Cm]talk

...that loops forever, until...
...the chorus of "If it don't work for you, girl"... etc:
Cm Cm Bb Bb Cm...
Cm Cm Bb Bb Ab...
Cm Cm Bb Bb Ab Ab G G
Ab Ab Bb Bb Cm

intro solo up to 12s.:

----------------------------------------------------------
-------------8---------------------------------8-7-10-8-7-
----8-10--11---11-10-8--7-8-7~-------7-8-10-11------------
-10-----------------------------8-10----------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------

...too busy to do the rest now, but I love the solos and solo tone on this one (sounds like a track almost two decades older!), I wish I will have the time to really look into those sometime later! Looks like Cm blues scale (= minor pentatonic plus b5 note... on fret 11 of G string), plus the 2nd and the sixth.... hmm...

  1. These aren't quite right.

    Basic progression is: 1-1-1-1-5-5-5-5-1-1-4-4-1-1-5-5

    you have to go to the 4 or it doesn't sound right and the bass part won't work

  2. Thanks! Certainly can be that I am mistaken, I am no guru with this stuff. Will check and correct it in a few days time... just too busy to do it right away...

    I assume you are talking of the first part only, not the "If it don't work for you, girl" part? Is that part ok?
