Tuning: Dropped D

This is an original Dave Van Ronk song. The structure is a standard 12 bar blues in D. It is played in the dropped D Tuning and in the key of D. The arrangement uses an alternating bass. The accompaniment to the verse uses interesting chord fingerings that are in constant motion. Dave teaches four variations on playing the chorus. There are a lot of notes that Dave plays quietly that add to the harmonic backdrop of the notes he plays with volume. As with most of Dave's arrangement the playing calls for a great sense of dynamics. This is a difficult tune so you'll need to start off slowly. Keep in mind the feel and groove of the guitar arrangement
