06 ROBERT JOHNSON

The man who supposedly sold his soul...

Following the classic ‘V-IV-I’ 12-bar blues ending, this example showcases some of Johnson’s favourite chord voicings, with the major 3rd in the bass of the B7 and A7 chords. The open-string notes in bars 2 and 3 give you a brief moment to shift from the A7/C# chord to the closing phrase.
