        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_London_Howlin%27_Wolf_Sessions
Tempo:  Moderato
Style:  Delta Blues
Method: The principal chord is struck on the downstroke and deconstructed on the 
upstroke by removing one finger.  It creates a sense of a train-style rhythmic 
beat which surges through this song.  As shown below.

Notes:
1. The 'Alternate Take' of "Highway 49" is nearly a minute longer than the 
original recording.  This version has considerably longer Instrumental Breaks and 
the Lyrics differ.
2. Herbert Sumlin's rhthym playing, as heard on this track, creates a unique under-
current.  'Much missed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Sumlin

            Apologies, re Note 2. it should read 'Hubert Sumlin'.  Here's some of his unique finger-style picking, that he is best remembered for that evolved from his days with John Lee Hooker - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPCPm0FPNk8#t=59
