  • I am planning to post a 3 string CBG arrangement for Walking Blues soon. Oddly enough, I was playing it just last week. Here is my 4 string rendition: http://youtu.be/sqLc5zjp-po

    Please check out my CD 4 auction:

    I teach a bunch of other Robert Johnson songs and I am sure the other information will give you some ideas to create your own arrangement of Walking Blues.

    Enjoy your practice, Keni Lee 

    • Hi Keni it would be great if you could put on a vide with one of your tutorials I for one would buy it. Regards Mal (UK)

    • Thanks Keni

      I suppose that the best thing to do then would be to buy your DVD's and thus I have done so (three of 'em) :)

       

      Thanks

       

       

       

  • Offhand it's something like this. There are variations, but once you get this you can probably figure them out listening to it, or better yet make up your own.

    • Oops those should have been slides up in the B and C measures. Just listen... you'll get it!

      Also, that Video was in B I think, so you'd have to tune B,F#,B (A/D,G,B strings) to play along with the tab I posted

    • Thanks BenBob - it was indeed the song not a walking bass line I was looking for!

      All I got to do know is try and learn to play it!

  • I think the tab you're referring to is a walking bass riff, but he's talking about this song:

    • Oops, I see my mistake, but I see Keni has chimed in also, you guys can set it straight.

  • Go to the tabs forum and read back  a ways, I did a simple one somewhere in there. Also for a better version see Kenni Lees forum, its in there. Both are for the 151 tuning you have.
