J.J. Cale had such a laid-back persona (in fact, I can't think of a better icon of back-laidness) that people who knew of him (sadly, too few) might not have recognized what a wickedly funky picker he was. His songs are stripped-down lyrically, very much so in cases like this one. I trust JJ wouldn't be offended by my altering his line "ain't no change in me" to the older folk trope of "no change in the sea", if only because it gets past the awkwardness (to me, not to JJ) of the use of "me" to rhyme with "me".
But all hail unto JJ, who deserved more recognition then and deserves fame ever after.

There's something incredible and special about your 12 string playing. It produces as much energy as normally only an entire band can!

Great cover. Kinda reminiscent of Leo Kottke: "Got 12 strings, Uses 'em all!" lol.

A plus performance and version. It is like hearing an incarnation combining Leadbelly and Mike Russo. / RJ

Thank you. I don't feel quite worthy of that, the highest kind of compliment I could receive. Those two are godlike to me. But again...thanks.

Well yessiree indeedy, you crrrrrrrushed this one. One of my all time favorite, if not the favorite, JJ songs. My jaw just dropped hearing you do it and do it so great! Good lord, AG, your chops are rock solid. I’d love to hear your rendition of After Midnight. My buddies and i do that one all the time (sometimes do it as a mini mashup with CSNY’s 4&20 for fun). Seriously brother, this was just terrific. ~ Mark

Hi Alonzo, what a great cover and rendition. Superb stuff. Are you playing with normal tuning or not? I’d love to know. Thank you.

@alonzogarbanzo Ай бұрын

Thanks, Alan. OK, class, pay attention: I'm playing as if in the key of D and in Drop D tuning; except that my 12-string is tuned two whole steps below standard guitar tuning (C to C); meaning that if there were no capo there I'd actually be in the key of B flat. Except for the second-fret capo, raising it back up a whole step, and voila, I end up playing in the true key of C. There will be a quiz on this tomorrow.

@LA610 Ай бұрын

you make that guitar sing....is it drop D tuning or is the whole guitar done a step?

@alonzogarbanzo Ай бұрын

Thanks! It's drop-D, and about 40% of my repertoire is in that tuning nowadays. But also, that guitar I tune down two whole steps (C to C), so with the capo at the second fret, I'm actually in true C.
