Here’s a transcription I with the exact voicings that Robben Ford played on his unique version of the old Duke Ellington tune (lyrics by Don George) “I Ain’t Got Nothing But The Blues”, and that’s a free PDF download for anyone that would like to get it here.
This was what was one of his radio hit tracks from the “Talk To Your Daughter” album that really launched him to a larger audience way back in 1988. There is a very hip outdo ending that you’ll love for sure, so learn it in every key and spring it when you get the “last musical word” ending on a tune sometime.
I have included both the version with the guitar tab AS WELL AS a standard lead sheet format that you can give to your band members as well, so be sure to grab both 😉
