Level: 2
Tuning: D A D F# A B

One of Rev. Davis deepest and most amazing songs. It's a narration, a journey around Blues. Although he was often talking down on slide guitar playing, he not only knew what he was doing, but he did it like no one else.

The originality of this song starts with the tuning, D-A-D-F#-A-B, that adds the sixth, the B note, which makes just playing open strings melodic. He lopes along sweetly on the open strings, and whistles a little with the slide. When he gets himself around to imitating the piano, he slides up to the twelfth fret and plays triplets. These triplets along with the sixth in the scale produces a romping classic boogie-woogie sound that makes you get out of your chair. He further imitates the piano by walking down octaves. But then he gets sweet the way a piano can't and plays a little Poor Boy.
