Detailed Biography
It starts like the one before, just two frets higher, followed by a variation of the initial chromatic lick: we bend the B string at the 8th fret followed by the note we’ve bend towards without reaching it. Finally, we have another chromatic run which ends up with the B7 chord (the V), fitting perfectly into the 12 bar structure: we resolve the tension the chord builds up by starting the next verse. By the way – the chromatic run at the end is also a perfect Robert Johnson style intro!
The End…
In the end we have a short lick with all techniques involved – slide, bends and vibrato. We also have a new one called snapping: just lift the string, pull it away from the fretboard and let it snap back on the fretboard instead of just picking it. We end with the root note E, followed by the E chord.
