Go to the tabs forum and read back  a ways, I did a simple one somewhere in there. Also for a better version see Kenni Lees forum, its in there. Both are for the 151 tuning you have.

I think the tab you're referring to is a walking bass riff, but he's talking about this song:

Oops, I see my mistake, but I see Keni has chimed in also, you guys can set it straight.

Offhand it's something like this. There are variations, but once you get this you can probably figure them out listening to it, or better yet make up your own.

Thanks BenBob - it was indeed the song not a walking bass line I was looking for!

All I got to do know is try and learn to play it!

Oops those should have been slides up in the B and C measures. Just listen... you'll get it!

Also, that Video was in B I think, so you'd have to tune B,F#,B (A/D,G,B strings) to play along with the tab I posted

I am planning to post a 3 string CBG arrangement for Walking Blues soon. Oddly enough, I was playing it just last week. Here is my 4 string rendition: http://youtu.be/sqLc5zjp-po

Please check out my CD 4 auction:

I teach a bunch of other Robert Johnson songs and I am sure the other information will give you some ideas to create your own arrangement of Walking Blues.

Enjoy your practice, Keni Lee

Thanks Keni

I suppose that the best thing to do then would be to buy your DVD's and thus I have done so (three of 'em) :)

 

Thanks
