Louisiana Blues tab

Louisiana Blues

Louisiana Blues was originally recorded by Muddy Waters.

This is based on the Savoy Brown version from the album Blue Matter (1969). 

They play it with two guitars, but this is how I play it with just one.

If you want to play along with the original recording, please tune 1/4 step down 


b=bend
p=pull off
/=slide up

If you can memorise the riffs it becomes pretty easy to play through most of the song
