Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Artist: Red Murrell
Song: Wake Up Babe
The original recording appears to be in Eb. I've transposed
to the key of D for easier fingering. To play along with the
recording, use these chord shapes with a capo on the first fret.
The original recording has a long intro and middle solo
which which follows the chord pattern of the verse and bridge,
before repeating the entire vocal section.
