About This File
Here you find the tabs of the theme of Billy Cobhams " Red Baron ". The tune itself is quite easy to play and it based here mostly on the Gm blues scale. The improvisation on the tune then is on a G7 / C7 Vamp.
My good old musician friend " Wilbert Gill Junior " who passed away one year ago used to play steelpan in Billy Cobhams band for many years. From him I can tell you that the oringinal version of Red Baron or many other Billy Cobham songs and written out into sheet music so the original tabs would be pages over pages. But for the regular player the theme is enough and to know that the solo's are set on that vamp. Some bands play Gm7 / C7 on the vamp.
QuoteFor me it was a great experience to play with Junior for many years. He was a huge inspiration and I think it was bilateral because on one concert he said that he had played for many years on big stages with big names but the biggest challenge for him were the Farbmusik concerts with me. I always considered him my best musician friend I had.
