Capo: 2 Tuning: D A D F# A D
Title: If You Don't Want Me Artist: Mississippi John Hurt Author and Copyright: MississippiHans (arr.+tab.) Tuning: Open-D Time: 4/4 Tempo: Q=140 Capo: 2 Play bass quarters with your right-hand thumb and insert eighths. Start easy and increase speed during the song. All Verses and the Interlude are followed by the Bridge. Important technique to achieve the right sound and mood of the piece: In the MainLick play the 2nd string 2nd fret with your index finger not holding down but "tipping to the notes" - in each measure the first one short, the second long - and simultaneously (while your index finger comes down) muting the 1st string, so it doesn't ring out. This is maintained throughout the piece. The MainLick is played in each Verse to separate the two lines of lyrics.
