I was listening to Blind Boy Fuller’s “Homesick and Lonesome Blues” and found his guitar intro strikingly similar to the guitar intro to the fast-paced Revolution . Not sure if that is a common blues guitar trick, or if there was an influence. I thought it was interesting though, give it a listen.

@beneta It’s not an uncommon blues riff, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an influence, and the similarity can be heard in Revolution 1 and the faster-paced, heavier single version (which I think may be the one you’re referring to).

Offline Actually, that’s probably my bad @Ron Nasty. beneta started a new thread with that post. Did I move it to the wrong place?

Offline @Ahhh Girl Possibly. The fast-paced version is usually the description of the Hey Jude b-side version – just called Revolution , not the White Album version which this thread is about. The echo of the riff can be heard in both versions though.

Offline @beneta, if you would like for me to move your post back out into its own thread with your original title (Revolution and Blind Boy Fuller), let me know and I will do so. Or if mmm or RN say to do so, I will go ahead and move it back out and delete all these logistical posts.
EDIT: I emailed Joe to see how he wants me to handle this.
EDIT (2): I moved this back out into its own thread. I emailed Joe again (poor Joe).
