Crazy Mama (from Naturally 1st album)

Recorded in Chord diagramF#F#
Arranged in Chord diagramF#F#


TABBED BY: Fredrik Koller Lund

Here's what JJ himself says about the song:
"This was done with an Acetone electric drummer. The rhythm
guitar is my Harmony tuned to the key of F#. Bass was
overdubbed by Carl Radle after the rhythm guitar and Acetone
tracks were put down. Mac Gayden overdubbed slide wah-wah
using a Lincoln guitar, a Japanese made Les Paul copy, and a
Maestro Boomerang pedal through a Fender Deluxe Amplifier. Mac
played this cut with his guitar laying on his lap, steel
guitar style. This was an idea he picked up while playing with
Weldon Myrick, a Nashville steel guitarist. It gives a cleaner
sound."
First of all: Tune the lead guitar (electric) to open Chord diagramF#F#

Open F#:       6   5   4   3   2   1

This is not an absolute; you may use open Chord diagramG+G if you are more
familiar with that tuning, but then you'll have to play all
the lead stuff one fret lower than tabbed here.

Although JJ tunes to F#, the rhythm guitar can easily be
played in normal tuning. I'm tabbing both these alternatives
because if you play alone (one guitar only), you can play both
rhythm and lead in open F#. I recommend using an electric guitar
for then lead, preferably slide with wah-wah pedal. Also, lay
back in a comfortable seat for the right mood.

OK, here we go: (Gt.1 is in normal tuning Gt.2 is in Chord diagramF#F#)

2.verse:


That should do it.
Here is the alternative rhythm part in open Chord diagramF#F# for playing
both rhytm and lead parts alone:

|--0-0--0-0-0-0---|-0-0--0-0-0-0------|--etc.-----------
|-----------------|-------------------|-----------------


Hope you enjoy playing it. The lead parts may not be exactly
the same on the record so you may improvise.
