Brush With The Blues Tabs

(ver. 1)
Jeff Beck
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------##

You will find a MP3 (1,4 Mb) recorded by myself to illustrate the tab and how to contact
me on my webpage here:


                           ( from his album WHO ELSE - 1999)


This allows to make a good start with that tune very rich in wonderful blues sentences.
Sounds easy to tab, but as soon as you play it, you feel how much the Master's touch
is missing. As it is illusory to tab Jeff's full delirium it is a good opportunity to
improvise a solo in minor pentatonic flat B though the Master does not limit himself to
5 notes of course ! If necessary you will find all the positions on the neck for that


Legend :
h   : hammer-on
p   : pull-off
b/\ : bend up and down
^^^^: vibrato/tremolo (much used !)
\__ : depressing vibrato (to make ring like it must! :-)
\   : slide down

The bass must be tuned in flat E (Eb)

INTRO (Bass only)
