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 my
favorite solos ever
recorded.
