Bobby Black Live at the Armadillo

Post by kevin ryan »

I have always wanted to add some stuff here because this is an important part of this great website and tool for many of us. Good tabbing is really tricky because of the nuances of squeezing pedals and many other challenges to representing what we hear and how they are played on these mechanical machines. The absolute joy for me is learning this stuff.
So this phrase was recorded in the early 70's. Live from the Armadillo featuring Commander Cody and all time favorite Bobby Black. There are some ghost notes in the original part of the live solo during the banjo roll that I didn't add not even sure they are played. So have fun
Bobby's part: about 1:10

I totally agree. Bobby was the best. Always played the perfect thing at the right time.

Hey, Kevin -- You and I have spoken about Bobby's playing on those live albums and how much of an influence it was on us when we started playing. Great transcription - you rock!
