Junior Brown solo from "Hung it Up" for C6 lap.
Posted: 25 Jan 2004 11:36 pm
Solo from “Hung it Up” by Junior Brown (from the album “Semi-Crazy”). Arranged for six string C6. See below for the sound clip.
One of my favorite Jr. Brown solos. Key of A. The “#” indicates that the note is damped with the right hand at the bridge. The “!” means the notes are got by raking across the strings with your pick. The “~” is used to indicate that the note is sustained, and also to indicate a long slide. The “/” means slide into the note, the “\” means slide down to/from the note. The “^” means to get the note by a string pull. A “.” Above the count means the note is played staccato. The “x” over a “|” means a fully muted rip stroke. The “$” means that Junior’s hitting a note that’s too low for my six string C6 and I’m fudging it (by tabbing the note an octave higher). Occasionally he’s probably hitting his high G string (i.e. the rake in the ninth bar, or the “a” of beat one in bar ten) but since you can get that note with bar movement, I’ve done that. Corrections, suggestions and/or questions welcome.
Fast twelve bar blues. The first two bars of the tab are the last two bars of A7 from previous verse.
The timing should be pretty accurate (I tried pretty hard to get it right, anyways). The only thing that would be confusing is that sometimes (see bar twenty: the third note of the fourth and seventh triplets) when there’s a two digit fret number (in this example, the “12”) and another number on the same line right afterwards, everything gets shifted over one space so that you end up with “---12-9---“ rather than “---129---“ which could be annoying. Correct for that, and the tab can be relied upon for the timing of the notes (excepting mistakes, of course).
Oh yeah, and just because I can tab it, doesn’t mean I can play it…
And thanks to Jesse Pearson for correcting the time and the chords.
