Deep South Blues - Key of E. John Lee Hooker and Ali Farka Toure are names that come to mind with this kind of blues - one chord, hypnotic and deep. Does it come from Mississippi or Mali? Try adding your own lines on guitar, or work with the runs already laid down by the saxophone, slide and lead guitars. Instruments on this recording are upright bass, saxophone, two acoustic guitars and slide guitar. All three guitars are in open E tuning (EBEG#BE). Sit right back on the beat and don't over play, space is everything in this one.
