Transcribing a specific version of Sweet Home Chicago
Hello all,
There is a version of sweet home chicago performed by a gentleman by the name of Haken Ehn. Its by far one of my favorite renditions of the song. In case you haven't heard it, check out his youtube vid:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbrsNWp8GIo
I'm curious if there is anyone out there who's willing to help me get the few riffs of the song transcribed. I'm pretty sure he's on an A harp and he starts off with: ? ? ? 3-4 shake 3+ 2+ 3+
I can't really tell if he's doing 2 notes before the shake or 3. Also I can only assume its a 3-4 shake as it doesn't sound as strident as the 4-5 from the study songs.
I'd be super greatful if someone who has a better knack at this could take a crack at it
Thanks
Just a note on the meaning of words:
Transpose mean to take something that was in one key and play the same thing in a different key.
Transcribe means to hear something and write it down.
I think you mean transcribe.
Indeed :-o
To my ear the pickup to the first measure sounds similar to the pickup to the 3rd chorus of Take It Easy Now, and also similar to some parts of Chorus 3 in Quiet World (both songs from this site).
I'd say that the very first lick is: 1, 2+, 3+ | 3/4 shake, 3/4 shake, 3, 2 | 2+ 3+ 2+ 3+
Add a tongue technique perhaps on the 3 draw (pull?). I put the shake as two seperate shakes, because you should dip each one. Then slap the blow notes, and don't forget that it's got a shuffle rhythm.
