Posted 18 Jan 2016 10:01 am Mercury Blues tab Acoustic Guitar mag and David Lindley
|
|
I heard this at SiriusXM Deep Tracks this morning on Tom Petty's radio program. I'm glad the tablature is located here so I don't have to slog through boxes of Acoustic Guitar mag. Thanks for the reference, Brad!
By the way, the tab is in the key of D. David Lindley took one of his DADGAD tuned instruments and tuned one string down a half step to DADF#AD as noted
I love this song too... |

El Rayo-X was an album David Lindley put out with Mercury Blues on it IIRC.....also the name of his band too.
My personal favorite version Lindley did:

KC probably "borrowed" it as well.
Lotta dough has been made with that song.
Just realized someone earlier in the thread put up an even earlier version of this song.
