When going to an open jam, it’s important to be prepared to improvise over any one of the dozens of standard blues-type songs that are routinely played at jams all over the world.
Along with the typical 12-bar and eight-bar blues forms, there are a few specific songs that feature their own distinct patterns and forms.
One of these tunes is the Albert King classic, “Born Under a Bad Sign,” a track covered brilliantly by Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker on the essential Cream album, Wheels of Fire.
Cream played the song in the key of G, but it was originally recorded by King in the key of C#. The following examples are played in the song’s original key of C#.

[@2204as]

Great playing and teaching. Thanks! The sound is amazing too! What amp & pedals etc did you use?

[@AndyAledort777]

believe it or not, no pedals at all, just straight into an EVH III on the moderate distortion channel....

[@2204as]

Andy Aledort Thanks for the reply! I would NEVER have guessed its a EVH III. Sounds amazing! Man, your a good example for sound is in the fingers (not that I think the EVH3 isn't a great amp, but I never would have thought it could do that cool old school blues rock sound)

[@AndyAledort777]

2204as much thanks...that EVH III is a great sounding and very versatile amp....as you would guess it's better at the overdriven sounds but that tone was pretty much plug-and-play...and no boxes is nice too...
