I play this with my fingers and a heavy metal bottleneck.
Sometimes I use a thumb-pick for a louder bass line.
I use at least (as a minimum size) 0.13" sized strings!

I've got a live recording from Muddy Waters playin'
in the key of A with his band using a Telecaster. In this
case Muddy Water doesn't play any bass notes but a nice
melody line which differs from what I play acoustical.

~Title: I can't be satisfied
Artist: Muddy Waters


Descriptions:

/ : pick first note and slide up to second without picking second note.
\ : pick first note and slide down to second without picking second note.
~ : slight vibrato with bottleneck
h : hammer on (with bottleneck)
p : pull off (if possible with bottleneck)
d : dampen (with left or right hand) as soon as you play next note

INTRO:

listen to the record and play what you like to play :-)

additional lyrics:

Yeah I know my little babe she goin' jump and shout
When the train don't be late boy all my troubles gonna work out
Lord my troubles will be all over tonight
Well you know I can't never be satisfied I just can't keep from cryin'

Well I'm alone in my sleep then I go feel lonely
Lookin' for my woman boy I don't see a dog gone thing
Lord my troubles will be all over tonight
Well you know I just can't be satisfied I just can't keep from cryin'

Yeah I know my little babe she goin' jump and shout
When the train don't be late boy all my troubles gonna work out
Lord my troubles will be all over tonight
Well you know I can't never be satisfied I just can't keep from cryin'

----------------------

Well, this is the first TAB I tried to do.
I hope it's not too bad, and you folks can work with it.
And don't forget the one important thing
while playing slide guitar: DAMP your strings!

have fun



PS: I'm NOT sure about the lyrics.
