Subject: TAB: What's Goin' Down by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

	Artist:  Kenny Wayne Shepherd
	Song Name:  What's Goin' Down  
	CD Title:  Ledbetter Heights, Giant Records, 1995
	
    Transcribed by:  Timothy Grimes	e-mail: srv@pacificnet.net

	I am not the greatest TAB writer, so this is the best I have to 
	offer.  It is very close, if not right on.  It's a lot of fun and 
	it lends itself to some improvised Jimi/SRVisms.   

	Tune to E flat and play with a hard funky feel.  Amp settings     
       should be hot but not fully disrorted.  The sublties and         
       dynamics of intro riff are too hard for me to illustrate so just 
       imagine you ARE SRV, Jimi, or KWS and really put some emotion    
       into it and it will sound really cool.    

	(h/p = hammer-on/pull-off)


	INTRO

			   	    (*slide from 5th to 7th fret) 	
	E||---3-h/p-5----------------------------------------------------
	B||---3-h/p-5---3-3-3--------------------------------------------
	G||---3---------3-4-3-h/p-4---------5---5--7--5------------------
	D||----------5--------------5--3----5---5--7--5------------------
	A||------------------------------*7---7---------7--5-------------
	E||-3------------------------------------------------7--6--5--3--


	The chords are pretty straight forward after the riff             
       (C,C#,D,G-riff) the bridge is B minor on the 7th fret the down   
       to the A and back, and the lead is in B minor pentatonic.

	I ain't a word guy, so I will let someone else add the words and 
	chord changes.

	Good Luck!	-Tim	srv@pacificnet.net
