Johnny Moore solo on "Sunny Road" (1946)

The Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Sunny Road (1946)

Interesting guitar solo by Johnny Moore with the legendary no-drums trio featuring Charles Brown on vocals, classic vintage West Coast R&B at his finest. In the key of D, mostly 1st position on the guitar but with some a little fancier chords than usual (DM7, A+). Transcription by Jay Bee Rodríguez, first published on SOLO BLUES magazine (1991).

17 Classic Bass Lines

An small collection of classic Blues Bass Lines, from piano boogie to electric rhumba-blues, from Lightnin' Hopkins to Ray Charles and more. On the transcriptions I used just one key (E) on paper, but of course would be a more than good exercice to play most or all examples on the particular different recordings' keys to begin with. Very recomended!

1. Jimmy Reed/Eddie Taylor "Baby What You Want Me to Do" (E)

2. J.B. Lenoir "Mojo Boogie" (E)

3. Bill Doggett "Honky Tonk" (F)

4. Lightnin' Hopkins "Long Gone" (F)

6. Willie Mabon "Shakin' The Boogie" (C)



7. Little Walter/Willie Dixon "My Babe" (F)

8. Professor Longhair "Go to the Mardi Grass" (Bb)

10. Albert King "Crosscut Saw" (Ab)

11. Freddy King "Hideaway" (E)
