Blues Run The Game by Jackson C Frank (Patreon)

Hello patrons! I'm looking at a favourite finger-style tune of mine this week. Quite easy to play and a really good practical example of some of the essential picking patterns I was talking about in my video a few weeks back. Here's a link to the video -

As I say in the video it's quite a widely covered tune. I particularly like Nick Drake's version - take a listen if you've not heard it -

My tab can be found below. I've written out the first 3 verses in full. In some places the acoustic is a bit buried under the vocal so it's hard to hear exactly what's going on, but I think this is broadly accurate. The subsequent verses are very similar, with just some small variations. Once you get a feel for the song it's probably best to do it your own way rather than stick too slavishly to the tab. Hope you enjoy learning the song. 

Speak next week,

Adrian
