Impellitteri’s “17th Century Chicken Pickin” is a classic shred tune, but it seems there is only one transcription of it that gets passed around. Everybody learns that version, but I don’t like it.
Most of the notes seem correct, but some of the fingerings are really awkward, particularly the section that starts at the 53 second mark.
I think this is the way Chris actually played it. I can’t be sure, because it doesn’t seem like he’s ever performed the song live, but this way is much more consistent and makes use of more common shapes.
It’s a really fun lick when you get the speed up. Have fun.
