Thread Name: Playing Bourgeois Blues as Pete Seeger
Subject: RE: Playing Bourgeois Blues as Pete Seeger
This song appears in tab and standard notation in ‘The Twelve String Guitar of Leadbelly’, published by Oak, but authored by Pete Seeger. I’m not sure whether the arrangement is precisely what Leadbelly played, or Seeger’s own interpretation, but it’s in dropped D tuning, with the boogie bass line similar to that described above here.
