Normally, I wouldn't post such hack transcriptions, but this song is especially unique. It seems The Beatles covered it back in their early years, but in all truth, they dumbed it down to a standard twelve bar. The Billy Lee Riley version of the song (I assume it's his song?) is totally fucked! It's an 11 and 1/2 bar progression with the 3rd to 4th bar split between the I and the IV chords. It uses a 12 bar on a couple of the solos, but not on the 1st solo, which is written here (notice the structure outline which is noted at the bottom of the page). I think the first solo is more interesting, so it's the one I transcribed..... plus I was too lazy to do the whole thing. Anyway, check it out - totally crazy!!!

This is one of the simpler riffs that can be played on the alto saxophone. I've found that it's easier to manage in the mid-range starting on the F note with the octave key and using no octave key for the Eb, Db, and C. Remember..... Eb is the same note as D#, and Db is the same note as C#. Don't forget to hit the C notes as they appear with the lyrics. Mandatory viewing of comedy skit with soul vibes below!
For those of you with intonation issues who play flat, this a great song to play along with, considering the master tapes probably ran a bit slow on this one making it sound an 1/8th step down. The guitar parts are written in concert pitch, but the alto saxophone tablature is written for Eb instruments. Don't forget..... when you see an "o", press on the octave key.
This classic J.B. song is written in saxophone tablature with these special indicators:
S=side key(s) O=octave key L=low button(s) *Looks like the bots took this one down from the host server, so here's a low pro listing of the arrangement. |
