If you understand the musical evolution James Brown traversed from the late 50s to the mid-60s , then you have a clue as to what a wry , extraordinarily talented , Midwestern guitarist may have been thinking for his timeless “ odiferous ” instrumental with the bluesy intro lick in Fig . 3 . A little later in his career he would venture to the “ land of California ” and make more rock history . Bend the D notes with the ring finger and push up with the index for the C , being careful not to mute string 2 open .

It is a well-worn story how British blues guitarists in the 60s “ turned around ” the blues and sent it back to America amped up and revitalized . Fig . 4 appears in the “ sunny ” solo of a blues “ deity ” and starts a 1934 standard popularized by a “ mooning ” doo-wop group in 1961 . It will take some quick shifts with the ring finger to bend the G and B notes .
