NotesBeta

Let's start jamming Albert Cummings - (Live) Barrelhouse Blues chords, practice the chord sequence Db, Ab, Db, Eb, Ab, Eb, Ebm, Eb and Ab. A strategic approach would be to train at 56 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 112. Configure the capo to your vocal range and chord preference, remembering the key of Eb Major.
