I like his lessons, and still need to do many of the drills he teaches, but sometimes what he plays without an explanation interests me more than what he explains – and this blues number is a good example. It is chock full of interesting blues licks. So, I decided to watch the video and tab it out so I could disect it and learn. Well, that was a lot harder than I realized.... even with his multi-cam setup showing every angle imaginable. I have great admiration for you guys who tab out stuff just from a record!
A huge thank you to Joe for putting these lessons together, and to Sierra Steels for posting them and making them available to all free.
This tab does not stand alone – you pretty much have to watch the video to get the timing down. However, if, like me, you find tab easier to follow than a video, this will help you get these licks down.

Some notes:
First, I am sure there are errors, both in my attempt to figure out what he is doing, and just from me getting cross-eyed typing this all out.
There is a lot of vamping – chords that are repeated quickly, or maybe two that alternate quickly, as many as 7 times. Instead of writing this out, I wrote under the section an “X” and the number of times to repeat.
