Ernie Hawkins – I Need Some Pettin’

Salepage : Ernie Hawkins – I Need Some Pettin’

Tuning: Standard
Level: 4

In 1924 the young coronet player Bix Beiderbecke took his college band into Gennett Studios in Richmond Indiana and made Jazz history. These first brilliant recordings introduced the world to one of founding geniuses of Jazz. He took this popular song (by King-Fio Rito-Kahn) and seemingly effortlessly showed everybody how it was done. I transposed it to the keys of C and A. It modulates, first part in C, second in A and third back in C as it moves up the neck. I kept to the chord progression and melody for the most part, but took liberties in order to try to make it the best guitar piece. I would not have been able to even think of doing this if Gary Davis hadn’t taught me his basic style and approach to twenties jazz. It’s a Piedmont fingerpicking style rooted in Davis’ Carolina tradition. His brilliant playing opened the door for this kind of guitar jazz.
