This is part of the intro to the version he plays on "His Greatest Hits Vol II". I think
is one of the best versions he plays. Anyway I really like it and I hope someone will
the tab. This is just what i've figured out, I hope its correct. : )
Wont get too technical on the bends and such, this is mostly bare bones... mostly.
... I think it's in Standard down a 1/2, i could be wrong but it sounds ok to me.

h= hammer on
v= vibrato

Theres a small bit I missed in the transition played at the end of riff 1 sounds like,
Ab--10----------------|
Eb------12vv\\\\(0)---|
Muted a bit i think.
Slight Vibrato on each note (riff 2)

Thats pretty much what i've got so far and with my talent all I can figure out for now.
riff 2 during his singing (the only one numbered), freestyle it for fun idk, have fun
it. Blues is all about feeling right?
Email me [email protected] if you have more please, i love this song.
