One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer by John Lee Hooker Performance Notes: Tuning is Standard (EADGBE) John doesn't use picks but plays with his fingers and thumb. ----3--/3-------------------------------------------------------- ----3--/3-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------5(7)--5p3p0--3-----------0--0--3--------- ----------------------------------0--3--0----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------
