Can't believe I just saw this today! Any chance of a Guitar Pro file for this or maybe even doing another Brownie McGhee song? Thanks and love your lessons!

Thanks! I love the Delta sound but the steady thumb bass is out of my sphere right now but the shuffle mix, etc. really fits. Brownie is great! Thanks for the tab!

Brownie admitted that "Going to Move to Kansas City" is his seminal song...It's great ..It's on U tube...Brownie part..1...As a professional You could probably pick this up no time.. and share it …..His left hand finger movements...alternate on the treble strings.. Never seems to play a chord...I guess just E..A..B...alternating fingers. .I'd love to learn that...My friends in Thailand and Indonesia as an American would go crazy if I could play that..Doesn't seem yto difficult

Hey Tomas, so glad you’re taking advantage of this lesson. Teaching this tune was such a pleasure. Let me know if you have any recommendations on other McGhee songs I can teach.

This song I first heard in Grenoble France 1966...I too thought this to be best Blues song ever heard...along with Sonny Terry playing the harmonica...Looked for years ..not on his albums.. I did not have the skills to play this...found it several years ago.. A similar version I am living with the Blues. Back in England Mick Jagger once asked me if I could play Chuck Berry.. In those days guitar talent was scarce...I couldn't play Jack Thwoof... So I am having fun at advanced learning dormant many years....When I grow up I'm only 76...I want to be a Rock Starr..."getting there" is a lot of fun..

You're very welcome Tjeerd, I too hope to get back to learning some more of Brownie's tunes. He really was a master!

Thank you Rob, one day I hope to be able to play a few Brownie songs reasonably. One of them would be Walk on. Even it comes across as basic, there s a lot more going on there than the basic shuffle.

Thanks a Ton Rob, appreciate your help! I upgraded to $5 just now, no prompts to make any payments. Received thank you message confirming the upgrade? Pls let me know if it's fine. Congratulations on reaching your goals😃 so did I, thanks

Not able to download this one Rob, I could only download Santeria Sublime today. Rest of the lessons I m unable to download, I request you to kindly mail it if you don't mind, thanks a ton😊

Hey John, a lot of players perform there extended shuffle this way, it’s legit haha. Glad you’re enjoying the blues as much as I am. Expect another blues classic in the near future. Thanks!

like having the option to play barres or open chords. His turnaround adds some spice to the classic sequence. Tough stretch for the pinkie in the Brownie shuffle. I tried cheating by sliding my ring up to the fifth. Can't get enough of the blues. I greatly appreciate the theory addendums. Thanks Rob.

Hey, Rob, this lesson made my day. I love the Brownie shuffle element which adds so much to the rhythm. Can't get enough of the blues and this one is awesome.

I really enjoy your Blues lessons that show a complete song. I am from Mississippi and have heard many great Blues songs but I now have a new favorite, (It will take awhile getting this one down!), Thanks Rob for the great lesson. Bryan
