The above is a very easy way to play that Robert Johnson song.
For a more detailed transcription I would recommend:
Scott Ainslie's "Robert Johnson complete guitar transcription".
It's NO book for beginners!

BTW listen to Bob Brozman's version of that song!!!
He plays it with a bottleneck and offers a lot of real 
great slide licks in that song. I prefer to play Bob's
version of this song.

I hope this tab's not too bad, and you folks can work with it.

have fun

markus


PS: Any corrections or comments welcome!

Any Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher or Muddy Waters tab would be very welcome!
