The Brother (for Jimmie & Stevie) Robben Ford the Blueline Transcribed by Miguel Bioque The original song is in Eb ( maybe it's a wink to Steve Ray Vaughan?) I have transcribed it ½ tone up. If you want to get that funky-jazz style don't forget to play with the CD (Robben ford anf the Blueline) and using, most of all, the first and the little fingers!)
