The place to be for JJ fans on Facebook

Just in case not everybody knows, the virtual place to be for JJ Cale fans is nowadays: https://www.facebook.com/groups/331298470326024/

I am in the process of transcribing a tape of my recent interview with Jimmy Karstein (Cale's drummer)... I hope it will be published online soon.

Many interviews and obituaries popping around the 'net on JJ Cale

Sad, too sad

I just feel gutted, utterly sad sad sad over the passing of JJ Cale last Friday. Here's the last song of his last album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBRFsoEgJys

New lover (J.J. Cale)

This one's in Ab. If anybody has any changes for this please let us know! I just play the darn Abm all the way through, and mimicing the riffs 7s6 part by quickly playing D chord to Db chord.

I only have the the main repetitive riff:

---------------------------
---------------------------
---------4-7-7s6-----------
-----4-6-----------4---6~--
---6-----------------6-----
-4-------------------------

"Perfect woman" (J.J. Cale)

I still don't hear any chord changes in this, just the Cm (or C5)....

The main riff varies somewhat along the way, but here's approximation of the way it's played at around 51s:

---------------------------
---------------------------
-----------------------5-5-
-----------------5~--5-----
---1-3~---3--6-3-----------
-3-------------------------

--------------------
--------------------
-3------------------
---5-3-5-3----------
-----------6-3---3~-
--------------------

Basically that looks to me like a Cm7 arpeggio.
