One of my most favourite Blues songs, this version is the same tempo as the Mississippi Fred McDowell classic though in a lower key. Featured CBG is Hobo, vocals by The Middlesex County Hobo Itinerant Gospel Choir (only two of them turned up...) (-:

The guitar is tuned to GDg, probably the most common tuning and very easy tio "sing" with for those of the lower register(-;  Tunes can be found very easily on a three string, no need for tabs anymore....yippeee!!
Comment by Craig Cox on April 25, 2011 at 4:51am

can anyone kindly aim a fellow traveller towards 3-string tuning and tab for this classic?
