he gives chord names, you should learn how to build chords from there names. There are a few sites that can give you a lesson on that and i think even a few videos on youtube.

The Allman Bros. version was based on the Bobby Bland version.

Cornmancer,
Yeah, he’s assuming people know those chords. He is using a Bminor7b5 as a G9 chord with no root and playing C9and D9 with their 5th in the bass. G and A respectivly. I could help you more if you need. Dan

I’ll do that for you in a couple days Home Skillet, I kinda goota go at the moment, but if you wanna try on your own listen to him G9, F-Flat-9 look them up on Google or something - Remember with Tabs your bottom String on the Guitar is the Top String on the Tabs

Besides Stormy Monday, what else uses this by TBone? And what song uses that trick where you slide a 6th chord and it “magically” becomes a 9th chord? If you can play it you’ll know what I mean. It’s a slowish comp. Cheers.

He’s moving shapes. G9 x 2 3 2 3 x
And C9: 3 x 2 3 3 x
Note that neither have the root, but we still hear them as G9, C9. Search for Keith Wyatt’s series.

Can someone give me a rough tab of what he’s doing I can’t hardly tell since he’s just expecting us to look at his fingers and know.

T-bone walker was one of the best blues musicians but he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves

T-bone wrote it and performed it many years before the Allmans…….
