Could someone please tell me what the tune / riff is that's being played here? It appears to be "the" demo riff I hear all over. Ronnie Shellist plays it on some of his videos as does Nic Clark. I would love to play this and hope there's some tabs available?? Thanks everyone!

1847 - Neither. That whole rig belongs to John Rafferty. It was an old crystal JT-30 with the Megatone amp. I had never played through one before. I don't play that tune very often. Aki had played before me and was getting some cool Big Walter sounds out of it, so he inspired me.

Thanks for the kind words. The following week was Big Walter Horton's birthday, so we did it again, but this time is was with Big Jon Atkinson, Kedar Roy and Donnie Green. Played through a JT30 with a Shure CM and a Sonny Jr 410.

Here's a video of me and my buddy, Mattias (who used to work with John Primer) getting schooled by Billy Branch at Biscuits and Blues in San Francisco.

All great stuff Joe! You've come a long way in the last couple years.

I'm jealous of your local blues scene.
Reno doesn't have a blues scene, I need to move!
