Nasty letter by Otis Taylor

I appreciate the suggestion, but I wonder which part of this you are interested in - the chord progression to sing or perform it, the improvising Otis does as an intro, the screaming solos done by the young gunslinger virtuoso, or something else?

If it is the progression I can help you out. It is a 3-chord thing all based on D, then with C and B in the bass, before returning to D. The intro is improvised using notes out of the D minor scale. For the solos (not done by Otis) look into standard shredding a la Eddie Van Halen.

I hope that helps.

First let me say thanks for replying to my message. I wanted to learn the acoustic version by Otis Taylor and am wondering if you will do a video lesson on this some time. I got 10 bucks burning a hole in my pocket, just sayin! I just started playing recently and I enjoy getting your video lessons and playing along over and over and over again to I finally get it right. Again I appreciate your time and thanks again.

Thanks for the reply and the additional info. Now that I know what you are looking for I will see what I can do.
