First time I heard this I thought "wow! that might make a good steel song!"
At any rate its a good excuse for an up tempo jam tune if you're tired of
the Steel Guitar Rag It's got a banjo breakdown feel with sortofa train
beat. Have fun!!

Who's JB? It's a pretty standard E9 tuning. I raise the 1st string a whole step and it has a half stop. I have an alternate way to do that lick with the 1st string raise if you need it.
