The above is a very easy way to play that Robert Johnson song.
For a more detailed transcription I would recommend:
Scott Ainslie's "Robert Johnson complete guitar transcription".
It's NO book for beginners!
I hope this tab's not too bad, and you folks can work with it.
If you have any questions about the tab, sure you can ask me
(I'll do my best to answer any questions :-) ... )!
have fun
markus
PS: Any corrections or comments welcome!
Any Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher or Muddy Waters tab would be very welcome!
