"Blues for Mama"

This is one true fave of the Back to Tulsa album. Great solos too!


I think it's in the key of C minor. Or, actually maybe it's C Dorian? Who cares.  :D


The main part is:

The Blues for Mama bit is: [Cm][Cm][Gm][Gm] x2



The rest her soul bit is:

[Eb][Eb][F][F]

[Gm][Gm][Eb][F]



The modulated bridge part at the latter part of the song, starts at around 1m35s, is:

[Bb][Bb][Ab][Ab]

[Bb][Bb][Ab][Gm]




acoustic solo bit 1m54 - 2m07s:

------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
-12'-10-8-10 12'-12'-10-8-10~-10H12-8-(10)------------
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
-10-12'-10-8-10H12s...-----------------------8~-(10)--
-----------------------2S13H15-8~-8-10-8--10----------
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------


The solo after 3min kicks in the same C minor pentatonic kicks off
...approximately like this:

-----------------------------------------------------
-11^~-11-13----13-11---------------------------------
-----------12-----------10-12-10-10-8----------------
--------------------------------------10-8-10-8------
