I well remember trying to play this song year's ago and getting frustrated
in not being able to play one of the notes in the solo and basically gave
up. It was only in fairly recent times I discovered Alan Wilson had
apparently retuned the 6 draw reed up a half step to get that note!
I'm playing over the top of the song & using an overblow on 6 (then gliss
-6-5-4) which is not as tasty as that bend he gets with that tuning (which
you can hear). I have tabbed out what I'm hearing & playing. Trouble is Al
has many subtle nuances in his playing which make it difficult to emulate.
It's really enjoyable to play however.
