HELP PLEASE! EP428 Fingerstyle Country Blues

[David S]

I am completely stuck on EP428 Fingerstyle Country Blues – I just can’t work out which notes Brian is playing at 1.05 on the Slow Walk Through. What he plays on the video doesn’t seem to tally with the tab.
If someone could tab out the E to B7 change I would be SO grateful!

Hi David,
Certainly, the tab doesn’t follow exactly the fingering Brian is using on his video.
I think you would do well to follow the video, ie, the run down resolves to an E chord and then goes to the B7 with just 5,4,3rd strings fretted. The melody then completes on the 2nd string, b, c# b while holding the B7 chord.
Brian’s tab shows an Eb note going to the B7 which I don’t think should be there.

Richard,
Many thanks for taking the time to look into it and explain it. I think I have now got it… or got something that will do!
