Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: This was requested because there wasn't a good version
available. I haven't seen the other versions bu this is the real
deal. Gene plays simple stuff during the non-vocal parts and then
throws in a rhythmic counterpoint during the verses. It's straight-
forward, in the pocket, and simple. All in all it provides a good
base of the guitar work.
