CALL ME THE BREEZE - by J.J. CALE

This is an anthology tune (You will find a MP3 demo at the url above).

It was the first one of the first JJ Cale's album in 1972 ('Naturally')

and was released also in a few others among which 'The Very Best of JJ Cale'.

It has been covered by Lynyrd Skynyd.

It is Rock'n'Roll tinged with Country. There are three guitars and a bass.

The solo is particularly interesting . Here we step out far from the pentatonic

path. Not only the blue note is there but also all the colours of the rainbow.

I tabbed the three guitars : two rhythm guitars and the solo guitar .

I also tabbed the bass .

The tune consists of four verses of 12 bars, the third being only instrumental.

The solo plays all along , punctuating each sung sentence and naturally all along

the third verse. The tonality is F sharp. ( F# , B and C#)

All guitars are in standard tuning.

The first rhythm guitar is called LEAD RHYTHM in my tab. It is supposed to be

played with a CAPO at the SECOND FRET.

It is played in a very classical manner with the little finger doing all the job.

To play it fast enough you have to alternate downstrokes and upstrokes.

The second rhythm guitar is called CLEAR RHYTHM here. It is played on the 4

first strings.

The solo guitar is slightly overdriven. ( Or more according to your personal taste.)

You will first find the tabs for the first 3 instruments ( 2 rhythms and bass)

for the 12 bars that keep repeating 4 times in the course of the tune with very

few variants. That is to say all 4 verses are played the same way for those 3

instruments.
