the edge....
You had better clean the rust off your fingers to learn this tune inside
and out. And remember Stevie always tuned down a half step. He also
played on 11 and 12 gauge strings.

I find it easiest to play these lower bass notes by forming the chord and
then using your pinky to finger the notes, I am not sure exactly how SRV
did it!

I would suggest to any serious guitar player interested in SRV to learn these
