    Still think your version of this is the best Fred, I bought your book fretboard roadmaps,which i recommend, but i just can not seem to get along with drop tunings . I’ll post my feeble attempt at Statesboro blues. One take.

    Try to do the lick at 4:46 that way:
    5 ——–0—-
    6 —-7-6——-
    Doing that way gives you more time to change positions from the lick at 4:15 to the finishing lick at 7:49…

    In open D, the song will be in D, with G as the subdominant and A as the Dominant.
