Hello!😊 I’m quite sure that on the record it is played a whole step down, and the intro bit goes as follows: B D E, and the verse: A to D (and on the A chord you can play around with the B string)
It’s kind of just how I started out ... something I knew that perhaps no one else was posting. I’m planning on looking at some different things from now on though.
I actually found it in the basement of a theatre and they let me have it. But you can get them on eBay - just make sure it’s the 6ft version. New ones are about £1000 I think.
thanks for learning this song and very pleased that you found it interesting. i had the bones of it but not the funky bit at the end. look forward to more Groundhogs. Since i started to learn guitar i look back on the live versions and how sparse they are compared to the studio recordings. i don't think Mcphee ever did justice to his songs live and i am saying this as a fan.
Thank you 🙏 😊 and I agree with your observations about the live recordings. I used to enjoy seeing them as a 4 piece back in the day .... it seemed ... more settled ....
I also agree whole heartedly about live versions seldom doing the album versions justice, so far in fact that I stopped going to see the Groundhogs or Tony live for that simple reason but surely that observation was shared with him by a few close to him, if yes he obviously didnt share their view or just made a conscious decision to not change. Maybe the T.S. for Tough Shit had relevance. Either way RIP Tony McPhee loved so many of your songs and learned to play several of them now courtesy of this great channel
@@mrsoul4231 thank you again, I quite often use a 1964 J-12A Ampeg at home, it’s either that or a Fender Blues Jnr. I always leave on a NRG pedal and wind it back on the guitar till it’s clean, I think it’s a ‘purrer’- shop.nrgeffects.com/

Thank you 😊 I’ll always bow to someone will greater knowledge of this stuff, - it was my first time hearing it ... first impressions and all.
Absolutely correct
yep, a whole step down, and a little off from D standard. So kinda hard to tune to it.
Are we gonna ignore the mummy chamber lol
yes
Right on! Sounds to me like you got it! Thank you!
Like your style .

I took a look at your home page. How come so much Groundhogs? Nothing wrong with that, I'm just curious.

@@theguitartundra I don't really know them. Your lessons will encourage me to listen. Nice one!
@@trevorhoward2254 that’s great, thank you 🙏- if you have any suggestions, I like leaning things that are outside of my normals
