Level: 3
Tuning: D G D G B E

Lonnie Johnson recorded this instrumental in 1926. It is an incredible recording. The playing is fast and furious and the rhythmic feel is out of this world.It is, unsurprisingly, extremely difficult to play! The guitar is tuned D G D G B E – like and Open G tuning without tuning down the high first string. This tuning allows you to have a bass while doing licks around the D chord as well as an open fifth string for your G chord figures. Attempt this instrumental slowly and at your own risk! Lots of great riffs up and down the fingerboard.
