1.Hot Smoke And Sassafrass
Hot Smoke and Sasafrass
The Bubble Puppy
(Cox - Prince)
From the 1969 album A Gathering Of Promises (International
Artists)
Transcribed by Tim Tobin. Comments and／or corrections are
welcome.
Rod Prince - Guitar, Vocals
Todd Potter - Guitar
Roy Cox - Bass
David Fore - Drums
Legend：
／ - slide up
＼ - slide down
s - slide between notes
~ - vibrato
p - pull off
h - hammer on
b - bend note
r - release bend
sb - slight bend (semitone)
x - percussive tone (muffled)
NOTE： Although this tune contains various time signature changes
and
syncopations, I have written it out in straight 4／4 time which I
believe
makes it easier to read. The recording itself is flat by a
semitone.
Whether the musicians were tuned down or the recording itself
was slowed
down in the studio, I don't know.
To play along with the recording you'll need to tune down as
well. If you
have a chromatic tuner that will allow you to set A to 430Hz
instead of
440Hz(concert pitch), tune to that. That should put you in the
ballpark.
