Level: 2
Tuning: Standard

A tune written by modern jazz composer, Kenny Dorham and taken from the repertoire of British guitar innovator, Davey Graham. Still based on the basic blues form but with a slightly richer harmonic texture than typical fingerpicking blues playing. The melody is harmonized in sixths and John also teaches ways to improvise using this interval which can be applied to a 12 bar blues pattern. This is a great example of a tune with two notes in the top line played against a monotonic, "thud" bass with the right hand thumb, driving the rhythm.
