In this first lesson we will learn the introduction to this classic Robert Johnson tune which set it up so nicely. Take your time and learn the chords and watch your tempo. I especially like the use of the walkdown in the song as it is used for the intro and the ending. Focus on your tempo and be mindful to brush the strings rather than picking them. I think you will find this tune a fun challenge to play and sing, despite its simplicity.
I hope that you enjoy it.
