# From: smc@comserver.canberra.edu.au (Stuart Christopherson) ------------------ They're Red Hot by Robert Johnson ------------------ This song has been transcribed in C, the same key as Robert's original recording. Unfortunately it is his only uptempo 'hokum' song. It is in standard tuning. The transcription is correct but it is difficult to convey any blues rythym via this medium, therefore I suggest people listen to the recording as well.
