Danny Blue by The Allman Brothers Band
Danny Blue
CAPO 1 (In the video, they play it on capo 0 but the tuning might be D#G#C#F#A#D#,
in my opinion...)
So let's play it on standard tuning CAPO 1
This is important to catch the rhythm in this song, like that (example on C and G
chords) :
E ------0---0---------0---0-------3---3---------3---3---|
B ------1---1---------1---1-------0---0---------0---0---|
G ------0---0---------0---0-------0---0---------0---0---|
D ------2---2---0H2---2---2-------0---0---------0---0---|
A ---3------------------------------------0H2-----------|
E ---3------------------------3-------------------------|
H : Hammer-on
/ : Slide
