okay, I'm not going to transcribe the entire frenzy, because
it follows the same blues runs transcribed above.
Follow the G blues scale:
-------------------------6-8(10)- ---------------------6-8--------- ---------------3-5/7------------- -----------3-5------------------- -----1-3/5----------------------- -1-3-----------------------------
at the climax of the frenzy, play this chord over and over
-15----- -15-----
[-17(19)-]
-------- -------- --------
then sing the airmail verse over
