Stormy Monday as performed by The Allman Brothers Band
This is the version of the song that appears
on the At Fillmore East cd.
I've never seen a tab of this song before, and since
every guitarist should know Duane's solo, here it is.
There are two guitar parts: Duane Allman and Dickey Betts.
Duane is playing an SG through a 50 watt Marshall Plexi 1986 bass model.
Dickey plays a Les Paul through a 100 watt Plexi. Both standard tuning on
this song.
The tune starts out with Duane introducing it,
then plays the into:

Duane's solo:
Duane beautifully mixes
major and minor pentatonic scales
in this solo to make it one of
the best blues solos ever
recorded, IMHO.

After Duane's solo is Gregg's organ solo
followed by Dickey's solo, and lastly another
verse. The song ends like so...
8:23
e---10^-10^-10^-------| repeated twice over the chords: G7 C9 and G7.
b---11^-11^-11^-------| Everone solos over the last chord and
g---------------12----| resolve nicely.
