Biography:
David "Junior" Kimbrough (Hudsonville, Mississippi, July 28, 1930 - Holly Springs, Mississippi, January 17, 1998) was an American blues musician most notable for his recorded output in the 1990s for the Fat Possum Records label.
His style of modern electric blues was marked by its hypnotic modal guitar rhythms, backwoods singing style and nocturnal lyrics. He was a long-time associate of labelmate R.L. Burnside and the Burnside and Kimbrough families often collaborated on musical projects.

Repeat until your blues are gone.
Keep the bass G string going with your thumb as a constant rhythm, and then add the
other notes with your middle and index fingers. This is the main riff. Repeat it with some
variation throughout - it's the blues, Junior didn't play it the same every time, and
neither should you.
Here's a simple variation I use. As long as you keep the rhythm going with your thumb,
nearly anything can work.
