Poor Boy (Miss. John Hurt)

4 string Cohiba box
I asked James and Natalie if they wanted to be in a RTZ video and both jump at the chance And as for Ronnie well get out the jellybeans. best if you run it in fullscreen

I worked this up a few weeks ago I have never been able to do MJH on 3 string.This is not my best work but it hurt so much to do this I'm posting it anyway. When I'm better i'll redo it.
