E|E|E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|||| I'm Satisfied - Mississippi John Hurt E|E|E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|||| Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Mississippi John Hurt I'm Satisfied (Mississippi John Hurt) From: "Today" (1966) A nice little tune. John Hurt has a special way of playing, a mix between strumming the bass strings (with his thumb) and picking the melody on the top strings (mostly index, sometimes middle finger, too). I'm still not able do that, so for my tab here I transcribed it as a folk picking. Enjoy! I made a recording of the song.
