Man of Constant Sorrow
Hi James,
This is the song I mentioned in our Zoom catch up last night.
(6) Blackberry Smoke - Man of Constant Sorrow (Live At The Georgia Theatre DVD) - YouTube
I love the rocky bluesy sound. Song kicks in at around 02.05
Am I correct in saying he is using power chords?
The only tablature I can find for the song is using open chords G, C & D.
The lick at 01.00 in sounds cool

Ive never heard of these guys! It looks like they are using power chords but they are doing a blues shuffle style thing a bit like how Status Quo do it.
It starts off like a power chord but then ads another note replacing the 5th of the chord 2 frets higher. You have to reach this with the pinky!
I have transcribed the verse, have a go and let me know how you get on!
