Chords for George Thorogood - One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer (Bing Lounge)

_ _ _ _ _ _ Can we take a question from the audience?
Sure, as long as it's something I want to hear. _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Most influential guitarist.
I'm gonna answer most influential guitarist.
Would that be Robert Johnson after hearing his fingering?
There's just _
There's just too many to pinpoint it to one. _ _ _
I
think my style evolved at the two that were I'm closest to that play the most like probably John Hammond
_ _ _ and _
Brian Jones
Because Brian Jones played rhythm and slide and John Adams an excellent rhythm player
And so I don't really play much lead Jimmy Jimmy's great at lead and we have a sax player does the solos? _
You know if it's not a Chuck Berry thing.
I'm not I'm a [F#m] rhythmic player.
Yeah, _ _ I play rhythm rhythm style guitar, _ so
_ Either I don't think there's anybody's ever going to
Very few people you'll see that can [G] really master rhythm guitar and master lead guitar at the same time
_ Chuck Berry is one of the few _ John Fogerty can do both
_ _ _ _ John Lennon _
_ John Lennon once said _ they were having a tough time with getting a drummer
if you can believe that _ and they wouldn't hire the Beatles in certain places they had a drummer and
John Lennon would say the drums are in the guitars man, and he's right if you listen to the other brothers
They don't need a drummer.
That's so powerful, so I was like rhythm rhythm stuff
So yeah, I listen to Bo Diddley and John Lee hooker a lot
They could do a lot with one chord and John [A#m] Lee hooker be _ [A#] _ _ we [F] going on of course Bo Diddley _ _ _ _ _
[E] You know those cats could there were geniuses before James Brown
Could make a whole song with one chord and make it really flow with dynamics
_ So I wasn't _ I just I'm a finger, but I never could get that those those that Jeff Beck Eric Clapton
I'm still working on it
_ And I get that
_ Thing you know and I'm like I've landed and then I
_ You can go make make this laugh, but I was plants.
Yeah, _ I said no I was like _
This lead thing I'm trying to get I'm trying to get it and my wife was in she goes you don't need that
No, I don't she's chicks don't care about that.
They're like the low notes
_ _ That's it I'm in business
_ _ _ You
Pick up the guitar for the chicks what did you pick up the guitar for the chicks?
No, but I was guided a lot by that because you know I figured what made Valentino women
_ What made Sinatra?
_ _ What made Presley? _
What made the Beatles just follow the formula?
You know just I went to see John Lee hooker in a club in 1971.
I'd never seen him and
_ _ At that time people came to see blues artists
And they sat just like you people are sitting now, and it was like a seminar
It was like a sermon you know I saw muddy water Sonny Terry and
You know others and people would come and just be like they could hear a pin drop, but when John Lee hooker played I noticed something
Special as people danced when he plays it dancing to the blues.
It's not it's unheard of these people were up dancing and
_ _ The people that were dancing to hooker were all women _ and the song they danced to
_ Was one bourbon one scotch in one beer and I went aha
_ _ [E]
So we started working on that and then we finally met Bob Dylan.
He said you know I really liked it
_ Kind of shy guy
_ _ That's all bourbon scotch and beer I went that stays
[F#] _ But it was it's usually if you play and you watch and
If you start a rhythm thing going and you meet and people who don't care about blues or rock or anything and you see
Girls immediately reacting to it physically you know moving around you know you have something there's something there's usually a rhythm that gets them
Gets that thing going and they have blue jeans on
_ _ And it just progresses from there does it progress and then the guys notice
And then you want to go dance with the girl, but they're too chicken
So they buy a couple of drinks get the nerve that makes money for the bar
And the bar makes money, then they hire me back you see how it works
_ That was it you see so we're still doing that [Em] _ one bourbon.
