Midnight in Memphis (J.J. Cale)

This is a straight blues, but love his classic JJ style soloing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x-FkLAdl5g

12-bar blues in G (GGGG CCGG DCGG) with this kind of a trad blues riff:
--------------
----55-33-----
-----------55-
-33-----------
(raise a string for C and then another two frets up for D)
Solo (G minor pentatonic) at 0.25 kicks off like this:
E:-----------------------6b-8---6-8---6-------6------6------------
B:-6-8---------------(6)-----8------8-----6-8---8-6-8-------6-----
G:-----7~---5-7-5--(7)----------------------------------5-7---7P5-
