TO continue with our theme week for Eric Clapton...Here is a song from our beloved Bay area..



San Francisco Bay Blues was written by Jesse Fuller, a songwriter and one-man-band who lived in the Bay Area until his death in 1976. His songs were very popular with San Francisco bands of the 60s and 70s- Hot Tuna, the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, to name a few. This song became his most famous and has been recorded by dozens of artists over the last 50 years. This lesson is based on Eric Clapton's version on his 'Unplugged' album. It features basic chords in the key of C, and uses a country style strumming pattern.


It is a level 4 ..a great track hope you enjoy it, I remember watching this and laughing my ass off years ago of at the percussionist and his antics..

I can also definately see this coming back as a collaboration with the kazoos and harmonica etc...so come on lets see your stuff all..

Cheers

Matt
