    In this lesson, I’ll walk you through a straightforward way to play the rhythm part for "Killing Floor" by Howlin' Wolf. The main idea is based on an ascending line of notes on the E and A strings. Once you’ve got the pattern down, you can use the same shape for the IV and V chords by shifting it up the neck.
