Gypsy Man (Sonny Curtis)

D ...

D D (stab of E at the end)

I'm a [D]gypsy man, on a [C]one-night [D]stand

I'm fit to be [C]loved by [A]you

I'm with a [D]gypsy band, just [C]travelling the [D]land

They'll be leaving in the [C]morning, I'll be leaving [D]too

Things like [G]love don't tie me [F#m]down

I just [Em]spread my love [D]around

Like [G]small change on [F#m]girls I don't [C]know

Let me do it to you

Well, this funky ditty is in B, don't hear any changes, again. The short solo thing around 45s onwards appears to be B blues scale. 


The first riff, up to like 56s,  is something like this. 

---------------------
---------------------
-11-10-9-8h9p8-------
---------------9-----
---------------------
---------------------
in all sorts of variations... then it's this kinda thing:

-----------------------------------
---7-9-10-10-7H9P7H9---------------
-----------------------------------
-9-------------------9-------------

-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------




That's all for now. Anything to add, or correct? 

Ride Me High (J.J.Cale)

Well, this tiddy has eluded me... because chordwise there's nothing happening.

I think it's:
Dm ... for forever... then drops down two frets to C for the instrumental break part. At least live versions appear to be like that.

The bass line drives the songs. Sometimes live it's been just D A D A bassline, but other times with a A C walk-up back to D.

Looks like it was played two frets down here in 2004: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZZvgj1iLCE

 

You Got Me On So Bad (J.J.Cale)

Intro: E9 Eb9 D9
[D9]Oh Baby, you got me on so bad

[C#9][A7]I think that you're the wickedest woman that I ever had
[C#9][D9]Sometimes you make me [C#9][D9]feel so complete
[A7]You take away my [G]troubles, [F)put my mind at ease

The quick drops to C#9 vary a bit, so you have to hear for them yourself, I've just notated some of them above.

JJ solo starts off like:

E--------------------------------------

B-6-5~-4-3------------3-5h6-5h6-5~-----

G----------5-2------5------------------

D--------------3-2~--------------------

Super blue

Super blue... another Grrrrrrrreat mood setter here!

Here's cover with a cello! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeph019rpoI

The chords are:
G , C, G, C... for the main part
and then Eb, D, G for the "got yourself another man" part

The intro lick is approximately like this:
-----------------------10---------------------
-10^12-10----10^-------10^12-10----10^--------
----------12-----9--------------12-----9------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------

-13^15-12-10----------------------------------

----------------------------------------------

-------------14-12----12---14^16~-14-15-16--17

-------------------14-------------------------

"You got something"

Finally doing something off the great Troubadour album! 


This one's simply just G to C and back forever...

For the little guitar fills it's a lot of G and F 

(17th and 15th fret on D string., for example), 

...and then some other notes of the G minor pentatonic. 

 ...at least that's how I approach it... too lazy to dig it all out.
