Jungle Blues Cifra de texto por C.W. Stoneking
Based on C.W.'s own tutorial for guitar. He improvises licks where trumpet lines should be so I've made this tab from his solo performances, but feel free to improv these parts yourself, mimic the studio version's horns, or just play the underlying chord. If you don't have or can't reach the high fret positions, transpose those notes -12 (ie. play them an octave lower). Chord names are given so you can use substitute voicings wherever you see fit. Studio version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgncwm9cMio C.W.'s tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOO8_jCZgyc.
