The song "Hunkie Tunkie Blues" was written by Charley Jordan and was first recorded and released in 1930. The arrangement taught in this lesson is note for note how Charley played it. It is played in the key of E in Standard tuning.

The playing is quite unusual. It starts with an almost calypso feel. You need to make sure your strums in the first four measures are strong and full as these lead in to a unique A phrase that introduces precise melodic picking until the last bars. A great arrangement that is different from any other pre-war blues in E.
