BLUES HAND ME DOWN - Vintage Trouble
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Listen to the song for timings, they're pretty easy to figure out once you have the
notes. This is how I play the song, it could be slightly different to the proper way but it
sounds right all the same. This is just a general outline to improvise and have fun with.

The solo over the outro is just based around the C pentatonic so mess around with that. Enjoy!
