Tutorial, Part 1: "Death Letter" (Basic) White Stripes / Son House

This is part 1 of my "Death Letter" tutorial. It is for the basic version I play (see my videos for my cover), and it more based on the White Stripes version than the Son House version. It does NOT include any of Jack's elaborate high-pitched solo work.

Part 1 details the verse riffs and slides.

Tuning: Open G (DGDGBD)
Riffs Used: Opening Riff and Secondary Riff
Slide Chords Used: 5 and 7 (and some 3, 2, and 0 as well)

Thank you so much i find your video very usefull. I just have a problem in using slide because it doesn't sound exactly like it should at the moment and the slide is heavy for my pinky :) But i hope i will work it out
