Title: Never Let Your Deal Go Down
Notes: This song is a standard in the traditional piedmont blues repitoire.
This transcription is from a performance by Etta Baker on her CD,
One Dime Blues.
Tuning: standard
Performance notes:
Transitioning out of the long A, move quickly to a C# which is just
a first postion C chord form moved up one fret, and from there slide
up to a C7 form which is just the C# slid up one more fret. Note
that the seventh note of this chord is hammered on at the same time
the first base note of the D7th is played. Since there is not much
energy in the third string at the point of the hammer on, the hammer
on has a kind of funky/dead sound.
The transition from the long A to the C# is difficult (at least for
me) because there is so little time in which to make it and because,
as Etta Baker plays the long A, the thumb is low on the back of the
neck, parallel to the neck, pointed back towards the headstock,
whereas for the C#, the thumb is wrapped over the upper edge of the
neck.

Here are some variations:
Variation 1
-----------
Play the main part of the song, but for the last two bars use the following
(the only difference is in the last two beats of the second bar where you
hit a bass note and then a brush instead of the usual walkdown):
C
----------------------------|------|-----------------------------------------
---1---------------|--------1------|--------------------0|-------------------
---|----0|---------0---0|----------|--------0|----------0|-------------------
---|----2|-------------2|----------|--------2|----------0|-------------------
---3-----|--------------|----------|---3-----|-----------|-------------------
--------------3--------------------|---|----------3--------------------------
| |
And proceed with:
A
--------5|----3--------------------|----5----------3--------------------------

--------2|----|-----2|-------------|----|----2|-------------2|----------------
---0----------0------|-------------|----0-----|--------0-----|----------------
-----------------------------------|------------------------------------------
Note: just slide the whole barred portion of the long A here.

-----0-----|----0-----|------------|----0-----|--------0----------4-----------
-----------------------------------|------------------------------|-----------
Variation 2:
------------
Again, starting with the last two bars of the main part of the song, here's
another variation:

----|----------|-------------------|------------------------------|----------
Variation 3:
------------
Again, starting with the last two bars of the main part of the song, this
variation is the same as Variation 2, except instead of moving to the C#,
it goes to a D or D7th, and then back to G.
Re: the D chord, if I remember correctly, in performance, it looks like she
is playing a simple open D chord on the top three strings. However, when I
play it this way it doesn't sound right. So, I use a D7 chord:

||-----|----|-x--|----|----|

||-----|----|----|----|----|
||-----|----|----|----|----|
