First of all: Tune the lead guitar (electric) to open F#
Open F#: 6 5 4 3 2 1
C# F# C# F# Bb C#
This is not an absolute; you may use open G if you are more
familiar with that tuning, but then you'll have to play all
the lead stuff one fret lower than tabbed here.
Although JJ tunes to F#, the rhythm guitar can easily be
played in normal tuning. I'm tabbing both these alternatives
because if you play alone (one guitar only), you can play both
rhythm and lead in open F#. I recommend using an electric guitar
for then lead, preferably slide with wah-wah pedal. Also, lay
back in a comfortable seat for the right mood.
OK, here we go: (Gt.1 is in normal tuning Gt.2 is in F#)
