Can anyone help me figure out the opening riff to Billy Boy Arnolds song Rockin' it is? I just love that intro. I have tried but my ears are not good enough yet to figure it out yet.
Cheers

Billy Boy Arnolds song Rockin' it
This is pretty much the same song as Arnold's "I Wish You Would."

The other cool lick goes:
2" 2 3' - (three eighth notes followed by an eighth rest)
2' 2 3 4+ 3' 2 (two more-or-less triplets)
Add a little bent 4 with your bent 3s; and a 1 blow along with the your 4 blow and it's HEAVEN!
Song is in the key of G.. Grab your C Harp and the lick is
-2, -2", -1, -1',-1, -2, -2"
And thanks for bringing this song up as Ive never heard this before. Its actually fun and a good bending exercise too on holes 1 and 2 - all draw notes.
And Ill be using this lick for sure at my next jam session- when the singer gives the space !
