The Real Folk Blues tab by Yoko Kanno

The song plays a combination of electric and acoustic guitar. The electric is at left and right in the CD.
Acoustic guitar is important to keep a sense of code!
On electric, start with the "gu-gu-garn," riff that is the backbone of the song and improv response.
