Too Much Stuff - By Delbert McClinton Album - One Of The Fortunate Few Transcribers: Lewie Tupper (Me), Patrick (my guitar teacher) Revision (2) Standard tuning, no capo. Key of G. There's a piano intro before this. This is all our own work. My guitar teacher Patrick (great guy), figured most of this out, I only made a few minor changes. There are some little licks at the end that I am still figuring out, but I will post them as soon as I do. These are the chords used throughout the song. The verse uses the standard 1-4-5 12-bar blues with the 5th of the 5th. The chorus does some wacky 4-4-1-1-5/5-5-1-1 progression. If you have a comment, e-mail me at stillfunny2u@yahoo.com.
