Today's Target and Pay Per lesson release is now live

Continuing with our Country Blues Series, we take a look at Fishing Blues, as done by Taj Mahal in his early days, the late 1960s. The song originated with Henry 'Ragtime Texas' Thomas in the 1920s but became a staple for some of the folk-rock-psychedelic-blues groups of the 60s like the Lovin' Spoonful and the Jefferson Airplane.

It is played in Dropped D Tuning with a steady alternating bass, similar to songs by Mississippi John Hurt.

It is a level 4 tune (remember folk that is a level 4 finger style)

Hope you enjoy it

Cheers

Matt

Matt,

It looks like you forgot to attach the tab to this song. I see the chords and words but no tab for the fingerpicking. Thanks

Ill get them to fix it

It is that kind of attention we get on this site that keeps us coming back. Thank YOU.

BTW. It looks like they added "chart" and "tab" but they are the same attachment and neither is the tab. Sorry.

Bill
