Fat Sounds: New Orleans Style

TrueFire's Guitabulary

Get fat. Fat sounds, that is - New Orleans-style. Keith delves into the Crescent City ballad style with its 12/8 triplet feel. Fig. 1 demonstrates how to double the rolling bass part; Fig. 2 shows off the 'chicks' that add staccato accents, and Fig. 3 combines the two. Finally, on Fig. 4, he adapts the triplet-heavy piano part to guitar, and he is, as Fats might say, walkin' to New Orleans. This lesson includes Power Tab and is included in the following CD compilations: BLUES U, Blues Bash.
