About
This is a comprehensive reinterpretation of an old blues number, "Hello
Central (Give Me 209)" recorded
by Lightnin' Hopkins in 1965.
This version
Based on the recorded version from Robert Plant & the Band of Joy's 2010
album, this is simplified version
combining the banjo's line and guitar's rhythm.
Tuning
DADGAD (aka Celtic tuning)
Strumming
Listen to the recording from the album "Band of Joy". I personally play with
my fingers and use my finger
nails to create the desired effect. You're trying to create the rhythm of
the guitar, banjo, bass, and
percussion, so keeping the strumming hand loose will get the right feel.
Chords
A note on the chords:
Properly speaking, you're not actually playing full chords, rather, with the
opening tuning you're essentially
playing the root notes with the D drone to create the effect of suspended
chord.
Personally I like to mute the bottom D string as it creates a banjo/mandolin
type of flavor, which adds
more punch to the F hammer-on.
