Man, you broke this down exactly like I played it by ear 60 tears ago on my Silvertone acoustic! Haven't played anything in decades now, but this brought me back to my youth sitting on my porch in Georgia . Thanks for the memories! ❤🎉😅

When I was about 11 years old my buddy and I were playing all the Jim Reed songs on our electric guitars and I even had an A harmonica that I played at the same time . We nailed every song Jimmy recorded. I played a Harmony guitar and my buddy played a Fender Telecaster.

I think you have pretty much nailed it. I don't think it was overdubs as some suggest. It was 3 guitars and probably one or two microphones recorded mono so that everything bleeds into each other (drums, bass and vocals, too) so that it impossible to which guitar player is playing which part. Keith Richards writes in his biography about the early Stones studying Jimmy Reed's style, and he admits he could not figure some of it out.

"Keef" does say in his autobio that for theB chord he plays a single note, so the teacher's observation is quite astute.

An interesting thing I heard about this song is that the title is a mistake - the engineer misheard Jimmy Reed. If you listen to the lyrics, you can hear he actually sings ‘Baby why you wanna let go’ - which was the intended title.

@DonDeering6 жыл бұрын
There's actually a version of this song on KZbin with him discussing the title with someone in the studio. At one point Jimmy Reed says "If you want to make it short, say 'Why Let Go'." (I paraphrased as I remember him saying it.)
@MsElaineLewis10 ай бұрын
OMG! I'm so glad you said that! Because this has been bothering me for a long time! I clearly hear "Baby why you wanna let go" and I'm like, Huh? What am I supposed to sing here? Thank you so much for the long overdue clarification!

So, the first note, the open 6th E string, comes just before the down beat? And 2nd note, the 5th string, is 1 (down beat)?

Uh, in case you are new to this channel, I do leave it up to you to take what I've shown you to figure out the rest of the song - it should be fairly easy with what I have here. If you have a specific question, please ask in a civilized/intelligent way and perhaps I can help you out. What is your motive? Do you want to learn the song, or complain? There's a big difference.
