"Hold on baby"

This one's a 12 bar blues in A (AAAA DDAA EDAA)
...and hear him playing this kinda boogie shuffle (this one's the A chord one) with palm muting:
A--2-2-4-2-5-2-4-2--
E--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

i.e. A5 A5 A6 A5 A7 A5 A6 A5

The D shuffle part is the same as A, but one string higher, and E is the same as A, but one string lower.

The intro looks to be repeating at the end of every other bar:
-5---5---
---5-----
---------
---------
---------
---------


and this is the turn around lick at the end of the progression:
E......D...........A......................
-5---3-------------------------------------------------
---5---5-3---------------------------------------------
-----------5-------------------4-----------------------
-------------7-5-7---7'-5-5-7'---7-5-------------------
--------------------------------------7----------------
----------------------------------------5--------------

(Yes, that's just first half of the intro... the second half is a variation of this, so I think it's enough to just wing it)
