Hot Tuna comenzó como una aventura musical de los miembros de Jefferson Airplane Jack Casady y Jorma Kaukonen a comienzos de los 70. Ambos eran amigos de infancia en Washington D.C.. Tras el Instituto los padres de Jorma, trabajadores al servicio del Gobierno tuvieron que trasladarse a Filipinas pero él regresó a San Francisco cuando afloraba la psicodelia y fundó Jefferson Airplane en 1965. Al poco se añadiría al grupo el bajista Jack Casady que ayudaría al masivo éxtio del grupo.

Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 23:14:13 -0500 From: Jim in Cleveland Subject: TAB: Uncle Same Blues by Hot Tuna
Unlce Sam Blues - Hot Tuna from first album, recorded live Sept. 1969
written out by Jim in Cleveland ([email protected]) This is only my impression of the song. I’m not able to transcribe Jorma’s fingerpicking fills or solos. The tab below is designed to give the rhythm of this 12 bar blues in A, by using your pinkie to add a rhythm note to the A and D chords.
