        This is a remake of a Jimmy Reed tune from the 50s

        If you ever wanted to try your hand at transcribing, this is a great song to start with.

        There is a riff that repeats throughout the song and if you know the 1st position of the pentatonic scale, you should be able to capture it pretty quickly. The song is probably the slowest lead work that Johnny ever did and throughout, it is a just collection of techniques that Brian is teaching here with his lessons.

        And Fresno and all the other harp players – if memory serves me correctly, James Cotton, who played with Muddy Waters is man that is blowin’ some mean harp in this one.
