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!
Hometown Blues
Charlie Starr w/ Benji Shanks
Standard tuning w/ capo on 2nd
Chords used: G, D7, C, A7
This is based on the live version played at eddie's attic in January of 2016, that video is the only place
I can find this song. The D chord in the chorus transitions to a D7 on occasion. In the video of Charlie and
Benji performing it, I'm pretty sure he actually mutes the whole chord. You can see the change but he strikes
all muted strings and sings over the silence. Anyway, enjoy!
