Here's one I've been wanting to work out for a very long time. It's always eluded me and I think it's because of the tuning. It felt like other JK tunes (standard tuning, playing around the same part of the neck), but the bass line was always off. So I just dropped the A down to an F# and voila. What do you call it? I don't know. Is it correct? No idea.
But it sounds close enough for me.
I tabbed this one out different. I just laid out all the ingredients first and then the recipe. There's a lot of slide in there that I didn't include. That open bass line is just for reference, it's not tabbed perfectly to time.
Enjoy.
