Lightnin Hopkins

Baby Please Dont Go (ver 2) Tab

A 12 bar blues in E but the first E lasts for however many bars you feel like playing it for :p.

Melody played with index finger only and bass with thumb
The melody is played in triplets so it's worth practicing something like this to get the timing:
