Walking Blues
by Robert Johnson
------------------
Robert Johnson recorded this tune in the key of B, with his guitar tuned
up to A-tuning (E-A-E-A-C#-E) and a capo on the second fret. This
transcription is in the key of A.
This song apparently has its roots in the rhythyms of work songs that
were used continuously from slave times up through Reconstruction and
preserved on the prison workfarms. "Walking Blues" is an example of an
'axe song'.
