Lesson number 2

"Nobody Knows You" by Jimmy Foxx (1920's Blues) 

Intermediate level

Arrangement written by Tom Faigin

Nobody Knows You - is a song you might have heard played by Eric Clapton on his CD "Unpluged".  It's a song I learned 20 years ago from my Uncle and it's one of my favorite tunes.

The fractions you see (when you click "Lesson-2") tell us the string and fret to play. "4⁶" means you play the 4^th string and the 6^th fret. The bottom or lower part of the fraction is always the string and the top part of the fraction is the fret you press. If there is a "0" on top and a 4 on the bottom, (4⁰) you play the 4^th string open - no frets. You should know the thin string is the 1^st string and the thickest is the 6^th string.

In this tune you will see symbols for your fingers. They are:

"T" is thumb - "I" is index - "M" is middle - "R" is ring, "P" is pinky and "PL" means pluck (usually using your thumb to stroke the string(s) downward and the index finger to stroke the string(s) upward both at the same time).

Believe it or not this is only one method to writing "TAB".
