Yeh that what I do
Get a book and listen on YouTube then adapt it
Can't read a note, so I say listen and feel your way...just as the first CBG music.
I take you point on Cofee rights!!
Anyone for a cheese roll?

Hey! Never mind the snarky comments, LISTEN to the music. These guys are very tight. And I've gotta' make one of those washboards with the tobacco tin.
It's only a problem that their publications include only lyrics and chords--no melody lines. Ya' gotta' listen to their Youtube vids and take the melodies by ear. (Also, I suspect the Hank Williams estate would like to talk to them about some copyright issues. Hank ain't "pre-war"--unless you mean Vietnam.)
Try "Trouble in Mind" or "Hesitation Blues" to start...
