Ok, I just sent it to you. Have fun with it. I actually like that lick, I think I’m gonna steal it …

Thanks… I’ll shoot you an email.

I actually never felt the opening and solo were right, but it was as close as I could get.

As for the power cord, I know what you mean about it sounding more accurate. I actually try to just hit the top two strings even though I’m holding the E shape.

Thanks again!

I enjoyed your site. I have this album and like the Keys, as well.

I tabbed out that opening lick for you (in your vid you are a little off the mark). I put my email address in this “Leave a Reply” thing so if you send me your email address I’ll frwd you a .pdf of it. It’s actually pretty simple, but it has a full bend from the B with an A (on the high E string) right in the middle. Very Howlin Wolf. One other thing you might want to try out is when you do that A/F# chord sequence, try using a power chord instead of that E major chord form. It seems to fit the song pretty good when you leave that chord a little more unresolved, like you can’t tell if it is a M or m. Either way works, it just seems to ring a little truer to my ear. On the other hand, I spent 15 minutes on it so I might be way off on that one!

Cheers!

[...] version to the recording (or even try to sing a long) you’d see the rhythm is pretty wonky. Last week I did I’ll Be Your Man and that song has a pretty straight forward rhythm that’s hard to miss. Trouble Weighs A [...]

Petroguy,

That’s what I love about TBK, two guys and they kick ass with just those two guys. They’re amazing in concert. I saw them three times this year (and Dan Auerbach once on his solo tour).

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with the guitar.

From a fellow late-to-the-party guitar player and HUGE fan of the Black Keys, nice job. I am trying to learn a few of their songs myself.
Nice thing about the Keys, all you need is a drummer at some point and you have all you need.

Thanks!

Yeah, when I saw the premier of Hung I thought I was a perfect song for that show. TBK’s seem to be showing up in a lot of TV shows lately.

Nice work! I actually learned this tune this morning myself after catching up on a couple episodes of Hung.
Great track!
