GUEST,Etan Ben-Ami Tune Req: Talking Blues tab (9) Tune Req: Talking Blues tab 04 May 08

I'm a beginner at guitar, and I'd very much like to play a few of the talking blues songs that I heard as a kid/teen. There are several of them, and maybe I'll put together my own.

I know the basic chord sequence is usually G, C, D or D7. I'm having a bit of difficulty figuring out the bass note melody & strum pattern that go with a talking blues. Forgetting about the fancy stuff Phil Ochs or Dave Van Ronk used to do for intros and fills, does anyone have a basic tab of a simple talking blues?

I'd appreciate it much if you'd post it in reply or email me: etan.benami@gmail.com. Thanks much.
