I?m not able to transcribe Jorma?s fingerpicking fills or solos. The tab below is designed to give the rhythm of this 12 bar blues in A, by using your pinkie to add a rhythm note to the A and D chords. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-------------------------------------| B -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| G -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| D -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| A -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| E -------------------------------------| Got my questionnaire baby 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| B -3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3-------| G -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| D -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| A -------------------------------------| E -------------------------------------| You know I?m headed off for war 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-------------------------------------| B -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| G -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| D -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| A -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| E -------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-------------------------------------| B -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| G -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| D -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| A -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| E -------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| B -3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3-------| G -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| D -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| A -------------------------------------| E -------------------------------------| Got my questionnaire baby 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| B -3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3-------| G -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| D -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| A -------------------------------------| E -------------------------------------| You know I?m headed off for war. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-------------------------------------| B -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| G -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| D -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| A -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| E -------------------------------------| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E_-------------------------------------| B -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| G -2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-------| D -2---2---4---4---5---5---4---4-------| A -0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------| E -------------------------------------| G E Well now I?m gonna do some fightin?
