Lesson notes

Tobacco Road is a well known and much recorded tune written by John D. Loudermilk but made famous by the likes of Lou Rawls, Eric Burdon, and Rare Earth, but originally recorded by an English band- the Nashville Teens. This lesson looks at the way John did it originally, using only 2 chords. Later, most artists turned it into a 12-bar blues.
