Classic, Classic, Classic! And with the blues licks too! Thanks Tyler, another cool tutorial to add to the repertoire. So Many have covered this dating to way back in blues, (and rock), history. Great tune.

Love the sound on this Tyler. One thing on the pdf is that it gives the strum pattern as D D U D U D rather than D D U U D U as per the video.
