About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

Cripple Creek is a standard tune, and you're up a crippled creek without a pick if you don't know how to play it! Learn a basic version to get a handle on the melody with the first solo, then dance the rapids a bit with the second solo in this tab. Come on in...the water's fine!
