W.Pickett-Funky Broadway guitar tab?

[Telecaster_man]

Anybody got it?
I searched along Google but didn´t find any guitar tab/chords for this great tune by Mr.Pickett and Mr.Cropper

I don't have a tab, Telecaster Man, but this might help.

Play an open low E string and a second fret barre on the rest, with a campfire D7-shape with your other three fingers.

Gliss, on the second string, from D up to E (the call);

Bounce an open E chord to A and back again, with a minor/major trill on the third string, first fret (the "response").

The bass player really has got the melody on this one.


Several studios leased product to Atlantic during those hot years (1967, for Pickett), and the Memphis Horns did much moonlighting in Muscle Shoals (exact same horns), leading to confusion about which bands are on which soul record.

The big Pickett string in 1967 was I believe cut in Muscle Shoals (Tommy Cogbill, Junior Lowe, Jimmy Johnson, Spooner Oldham, Roger Hawkins) and came out as Atlantic 2430.

It's interesting to compare the Dyke and the Blazers 1 and 2 version to the Atlantic Pickett one. The Blazers' version was "Original Sound 64," maybe cut in LA. It was written by Arlester (Dyke) Christian.

In Muscle Shoals, I am under the impression that Mr. Johnson used a low-line single-coil Gretsch semi through an Ampeg combo. There sounds to me like two guitars on the Pickett version, with the Gretsch doing the open E to A snapoff, but I don't know who the other guitarist was.

(thanks to handy copy of Dave Marsh's "The Heart of Rock and Soul" pp. 220-221)

Don't leave out the coolest part - the opening - they're all hammer-ons

I should get a server. Name of the server? "Broadway Server". Down on that server, there'd be tab. Name of the tab? "Broadway Tab".

I know it's dumb, but I've been tempted to do that ever since this thread came up, and I finally succumbed.
