Below is the tab for the full chorus, but we’ll be dealing primarily with measures 3 and 4 in this lesson:

This is a Vaughan rendition of a Willie Dixon song. The verses and bridge are 16 bars (or measures) long instead of the standard 12. It’s blazing fast too, at 184 beats

“Bad to the Bone” is a song by George Thorogood and the Destroyers released in 1982. It was not a major hit on initial release, but later the video for the song made recurrent appearances on the MTV. Licensing for films, television, and commercials has since has helped make “Bad to the Bone” a staple of classic rock.
Note: This song is in open G tuning and uses a slide.
For open G tuning you will tune your guitar to D-G-D-G-B-D. I’ll show you how to tune to it in the following video.
