This was taken from Woodstock 69’ performance and other live MP3’s.
Alvin Lee is one crazy man. He plays fast and with amazing clarity.
This is my humble attempt at his song. It is pretty right on.
This song is very difficult to master, but well worth the time.
Notes -
Intro: Blues/Pentatonic scales. Very fast! There is a lot of movement between strings and there is also a lot of stretching. You will have to listen to the song extremely carefully and many times before mastering this signature Alvin Lee ‘lick’. He seems to change it every time he plays it live though.
Verse: The all too familiar boogie-woogie rhythm! Pretty easy to comprehend.
Chorus: Some more fast licks. It is pretty repetitive though.
Solo: Look down below . . .
Other: Use light distortion. Just follow along with the song ya’ll!!!!

Then go into the chorus
Then the verse
Then the solo – Use the basic blues/pentatonic scales with lots of speed
He bases the solo off off the intro passages.
Anything else e-mailo me.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TEN YEARS AFTER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
