With a booming voice and looming physical presence, Howlin’ Wolf is commonly ranked among the leading performers in electric blues; musician and critic Cub Koda declared, “no one could match Howlin’ Wolf for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits.” A number of songs written or popularized by Burnett—such as “Smokestack Lightnin'”, “Back Door Man”, “Killing Floor” and “Spoonful”—have become blues and blues rock standards.

In this lesson, I’ll be focusing on “Who’s Been Talking?” which is another legendary blues song by Howlin’ Wolf that you can learn how to play easily. Read on for the full guitar lesson on how to play this classic blues song including video, tab, and jam tracks…
