Sometime recently I received a request from a YouTube user to work up a rendition of the Dead's Slipknot from Blues for Allah.
This evening I decided to spend a couple hours working it up. This is a shortened rendition, which really only details the opening, as the rest is jam space before repeating some of the opening motifs to go into Franklin's Tower.
It's really not a hard tune. The sets of descending diminished runs take some finger coordination; however, the minor 7th triads at the end of the opening are easy to play on mandolin (more so than guitar).
I've started tabbing some of this out. I'll put it up on my website in a couple weeks or less.
Enjoy!
