"Blues on a Holiday" - Susan Tedeschi / Paul Rishell
This is the version of the song that Susan Tedeschi performs on her "Wait for Me" CD (2002). Paul Rishell wrote this gem and is, I believe, backing Susan on acoustic guitar. Here are the basic chords (as I hear them). The picking pattern is simple, but varied throughout the song. Note the descending bass-notes approaching the end of the verse, while the high D remains constant (on the second string): this is a standard blues turnaround that's given an ingenious voicing twist by Paul Rishell, who's an undeniably masterful blues guitarist. During the bridge (below), there are one or two pull-offs and hammer-ons on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings of the Bm chord.
PLEASE NOTE:
D! = D major 7
Dd = D diminished
G/A = G with A bass
