Shake your Money Maker is a blues song that was originally recorded by Elmore James in 1961 and is now regarded as a blues classic. In 1968 Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac recorded a version of the song for their debut album featuring Jeremy Spencer on Slide guitar and vocals – this is the version that this lesson is for. The song is based in Open E Tuning from lowest string to highest: E – B – E – G# – B – E The song follows a 12 bar blues progression | E Shuffle | E Shuffle | E Shuffle | E Shuffle | | A Shuffle | A Shuffle | E Shuffle | E Shuffle | | B Shuffle | A Shuffle | Turnaround | Turnaround | If you want to play Elmore James version of the song simply use Open D tuning and play all of the riffs and licks in the same places. Open E is the same as Open D tuning its just that all the strings are tuned one tone higher for Open E.
