Your tip...
Blues Scale... Blues Scale... Blues Scale! When playing Rock, Bluesy Blues, Minor Blues or Rock Blues, stay 100% to the blues scale. Most importantly be cautious to pay the 3 (B) as 3' (Bb). Below is the scale.
1+ 1' 1 2" 2 3' 4+ 4' 4 5 6+ 6' 6 7+ 8 9 9+ (Keep in mind that 2' works on the V7 Chord... it's the 3rd of the chord, and is used in this song in the turnaround: 2' 2' 1 2' 2', 1 2' 2' 1 2').
If you like this song, and want to learn it, it's the easiest one in my set to play because you know the notes... you just have to figure out their order.
