Hi Everyone,

Today's Target members only lesson is a new Fly On The Wall.

This is an early Bob Dylan song that Ed had worked a bit with, although more in the way Dave van Ronk arranged it. We started with passing bass runs connecting chord changes before we tracked down Bob’s and Dave’s versions and listened to them. The song is a great example of using a simple I-IV-V progression in different ways, including Dropped D Tuning and the effect of a capo on the key.

Enjoy!

Neil & Ed, What a great Fly On The Wall! I love that tune, especially the lyrics.... "Here's to Cisco, and Sonny and Leadbelly too" Does it get any better than that!!?? You pick great songs Ed! Song to Woody is one of two original songs from Dylan's 1st album. He probably played this song for Woody at the hospital in New Jersey. Now, seeing as I am duly inspired I will have to brush up on my rendition of the tune. Thanks! Beaker.
