Son House - Death letter

Death Letter - Son House This isn't an exact version, he plays it in open G tuning. But like many I cant be bothered to re-tune to play every other song and this is a good enough version to improvise around to play and sing for yourself. Use a slide for the bit on the D, G & B string and only bend a little bit on the bass, I Sometimes use the slide for the top e, or sometimes just hit it hard without the slide. Thumb on the bass, index to upstrum the rest. e|-------------------3~-| B|----0----0--/3--0-----| G|----0----0--/3--0-----| D|----0----0--/3--0-----| A|----------------------| E|-3b---2b--------------| In parts of the song you can slide the slide to the 5th fret on e & B, down strumming for one or two bars and you can hit the 6th on the e inbetween the strums a cool bluesy sound. ************************************ | ~ Vibrato | / Slide up | b Bend ************************************
