about

Performed on Knutsen “zither” harp guitar.
After Kerry Char restored this one-of-a-kind Knutsen, I had to figure out how to string and tune it; the normal, long sub-bass bank is split in half to make two shorter string banks, giving 3 treble banks with a total of 7 strings each. As it had been found with old strings of very thick to thin on each bank, and since there were three sections, I immediately imagined the purpose as having a I, IV and V chord. As my gauges and options were coming together (two were 6/9 chords, the V was a Dom7sus), I was brainstorming for a simple 3-chord instrumental to try (Louie, Louie was out). Suddenly I remembered this tune that I used to play ages ago from The Allman Brothers’ Eat a Peach LP (which I still have).
