I don’t think this is right?

based on a standard Blues progression of 1, 5 ... is this tab not in the Key of E? It says A... :)

on the walk up in the verse/ solo I absolutely meant for it to be: [tab] E|----------------------------------------------------------- A|-------------------------------------2---2---2---2--------- D|---2---2--2---2---2---2--2---2-----0---0---0---0-----2----- G|-0--0---0--0---0---0---0---0----34-----------------0------- And continue. sorry about that folks, end result of multitasking while making a tab.
