Song Of The Week - Sweet Home Chicago

Sup guy how have you all been? My week was pretty laid back so yeah got sometime to do some 'non-existent' work. Anyway this weeks song brings us back to a time and a period which out-dates the majority of living people today. Sweet Home Chicago was written by the obscure yet significant Robert Johnson who (in-case you didn't know) was one of the forefathers of the blues and all that encompassed it. The extent of Johnson's influence cannot be accurately measured because it so very widespread and can be felt over numerous genres. 

Anyway, structurally speaking the song is in a classic 12 bar blues format which applies heaps of dominate 7th chords. Due to the popularity and age of the song there an almost uncountable renditions of the piece including the original, the version made famous by the Blues Brothers. But the one we will look at today will be Clapton's one. Like all blues music it has heaps of guitar solos in the pentatonic and an awesome groove. 

Anyway hoped you guys liked it! Feedback if you want and please suggest songs you want me to review!
