Happy Traum - Sporting Life Blues - Live at McCabe's

[@ergbudster3333]

Happy brought the blues to thousands of guitar players through his guitar manuals. Many, many folks learned to play thanks to him.

Rest in peace man, thanks for all !

My goodness the tone of that guitar. Perfect bass and treble and the separation of notes when fingerpicked. WOW!

[@LonesomeTraveler]

Of course, it's a Santa Cruz! You can get yourself the Happy Traum Signature Model which should be pretty much identical (I believe) to that guitar (although that just was released a short time ago, if I'm not mistaken).

First rate performance of a classic American blues song by Brownie McGhee. 👍

Happy is a Legend. I took lessons from Andy Pollen in NYC who taught me a similar version of this Sporting Life.

[@geodesy2009]

A worthy version of Brownie’s classic. Artie did a phenomenal instrumental version too.

RIP Happy!

[@tommoore8210]

A study in E, of perfection! Yeah, and try singing it at the same time! 🤞

[@RagMama123]

Are there tabs available for this fingerpicking arrangement? I know a lot of it was probably just improv, but has Happy tabbed out the basic licks?

[@billgreen6263]
