Chords

From the album Me and Mr Johnson. A tribute to Robert Johnson This is given the boogie woogie treatment from Eric but still retains the classic blues structure. Eric plays this considerably faster than the original. It is a good test for novice to improve strummimg. Those more experienced players will use 7th chords throughout and a progression down the neck in Johnson style Other tabs are available for lead players. [Intro] A E D A E [Verse 1]
