• Song:

    Stay Away From That Monkey

  • Artist:

    Jimmy Mccracklin

  • Album:

    High on the Blues

Its a very funky song, so the chords are easy to 
play but the strumming will make the funky effect. 
It will be enough to play only the high tones (the 3 thin strings)! 
You have to mute the Strings rhythmicly to get the special feeling.
