Fleetwood Mac - Rattlesnake Shake

Album: Then Play On (1969)
Nobody has posted this song yet. So I gave it a try and here it is :)
The timing is difficult. Listening to the song a lot will help you to get the timing right.
This is just the basic guitar parts. No solo :(
Feel free to comment or correct.
