I make a small bar for the interval on the 12th position.
I fret the other two intervals with my ringfinger on the
g-string and my middlefinger on the b-string and shift my
lefthand from position 13 to 10 and back.
The second overdub is played over the ending of the song

Verse:
. means short (as always), - means as long as possible.
In other words, the first stroke (which has the longest time-value)
has to be played short, while you'll let the second stroke (which
has the shortest time-value) ring until the next stroke. I hope this
isn't confusing. Maybe you should have take a look at the notes I made
about the rhythm-guitar in Rockin' All Over The World.

Bars 3 and 4 and bars 7 and 8 of the progression under the other
verses differ from the first verse. The pattern of the D-chord
follows the harp there. So in the other verses replace them by:

"chords and rhythm") and use the same boogie patterns as for the
