Pat Donohue Louis Collins

‘Louis Collins’ written and recorded by Mississippi John Hurt for Okeh records in 1928 is a lament for Louis Collins who was killed in a gunfight by Bob ???. John Hurt wrote a few ‘Murder Ballads’ as they seem to spark the audiences imagination for not so nice men and women who lived outside the law. He also wrote his versions of old tales like ‘Frankie’, ‘Stack O’ Lee’ (later changed to ‘Stagolee’ amongst others. Here we have the Pat Donohue’s take on the song; a renowned guitarist and arranger and top draw musician. If you follow this channel you will know I covered his brilliant and witty song ‘Buddy The Blues’ and will upload his unique bottleneck instrumental ‘Mudslide’ in the coming weeks. Insights: The verses and choruses are each 6 bars long played in the Key C Major with first position finger picked chords of C, G, G7 & F. The arrangement should be in the scope of the intermediate guitarist with a few anomalies that I will discuss in the bar(s) break down. I have put dynamic marks throughout the transcription which the great players use to breathe life into a performance. Something all of us need to practise. Bar 1. The Intro starts on the G chord the dominant fifth of the song which immediately perks the ear to what comes next in the following bars which is an outline of the melody. Bar 2. The slide from the 3rd fret first string to the fifth fret on the 2nd beat is played by the little finger while the thumb slides to the 3rd fret 6th string. The 3rd & 4th strings on the ‘and’ of beat three and the ‘and’ of beat 4 are played by the thumb (marked with a downward arrow) which gives a different sound than when they are ‘pinched’ by the thumb and first finger. These appear throughout the arrangement. Bar 4. The hammer-on across the first beat is played by the fretting hand thumb. Bar 9. The hammer-on played across the 4th beat on the sixth string is played by the 3rd finger. Bar 10. The hammer-on played across the 3rd beat on the 3rd string is played by the 2nd finger and the 6th string 1st fret is fretted by (wrap over) the thumb. Bar 11. The slide on the 4th string 2nd fret to the 3rd fret on the ‘and’ of beat 2 into the 3rd beat is played by sliding the second finger up under your 3rd finger which is holding down the 3rd fret G note on the 6th string. A manoeuvre that may take some practice to execute but, you could leave the slide out and place you little finger on the 4th string for the duration of the bar. Bar 32. The pull-off on the 2nd string on fret 3 leading into the ‘and’ of beat two is played by the little finger. Bar 59. The hammer-on played across the first beat on the 5th string 3rd fret is played by the 3rd finger. These decorations appear again in different bars throughout the arrangement. Enjoy.
