FRANKLIN BLUES
key: C
capo: second fret
tuning: normai
This is a Sam McGee instrumental.
I presented another Sam McGee
guitar piece called Buck Dancer's
Choice on my Finger-picking Guitar
Techniques album. Franklin Blues
is quite different in feel and
approach. This is a three part
instrumental. In the original Sam
ends up his performance by playing
a lightning version of Railroad Bill.
This presents an interesting effect
as the difference between the
complicated sounding Franklin
Blues and the quick, smooth texture
of Railroad Bill becomes even more
apparent. You can experiment by
combining Franklin Blues with Buck
Dancer's Choice as these also can
work well together.
