Track #7 is an eight bar blues in A. Smoking blues rock. Eric Clapton in the right channel and Duane Allman on slide in the left. Carl Radle plays lots of roots, but it's a shuffle. Each beat is really an 8th note triplet with the middle beat as a rest. I notated it as swing 8ths with the first beat played staccato. My favorite parts are the triplet figures at the end of many of the bars. There might be some double stops I missed. Sometimes it's tough to tell the bass from the rhythm guitar.

thank you. damn, you've been on a derek & the dominos tear. check out john mcvie's playing on mayall's bluesbreakers album w/clapton ( the beano album. ) this guy was different. superb fender jazz everywhere. i would flip out if you transcribed bass to " have you heard. " it's a lot of choruses, though. i love his early playing. i think tommy shannon did, too. a lot of similarities, boy. a lot.
