Artist: Roy Orbison
Song: Ooby Dooby
Another forgotten classic by Roy Orbison during his Sun Records
days. VERY VERY simple chord progression (surprise, surprise,
I,IV,V in the key of E) and a KILLER solo that's repeated during
the latter part of the song. You might have some issues with
a little double stop, pull of lick in the solo but overall,
this song is very easy to play and follow. Strums NOT exact, LISTEN
to the changes. Let's go!!
Key of Emajor
This is the progression in the ENTIRE song. Just omit
the very first E chord since there are no instruments being
played in the beginning. After that, follow the
progression the whole way.
