iceboy Blind Lemon questions (54* d) RE: Blind Lemon questions 29 Jan 02


Hey M-Ted. I'm trying to visualize the turnaround move you describe. Why the pinky on the 6th string C? Where are the other fingers then, and why not just play it with the ring finger, or on the 5th string with the ring finger in plain open C position? The D F# C is around the fifth fret with C on G string, right? I know what you describe works musically, but I'm not convinced Lemon was squeezing those chords out of that little parlor guitar on his turnarounds! Doesn't quite sound the same.
