I really want to learn sugar babe (dock boggs style)
I have the below tab but it’s 3 finger.
Could anyone help convert the 3 finger parts into clawhammer ?
Thankyou

I'm moving your post to the tab forum. Maybe someone there would transpose it from 3 finger to clawhammer for you.
There's a clawhammer tab in the Library based on Dock Boggs' recording. It's in TablEdit which means you may need to get the free TefView software to view and play it.

I will give it a try. I will (probably) choose fDGCD tuning since Dock's version is in F/Dm. Most of the notes will be exactly as in the three-finger version, with some fifth string notes added, and change some first string notes to fifth string (melody notes should be the same but embellishments notes or fill-out notes may be changed).
Here is a clawhammer version, based on the tab above.
Please, observe that I have changed tuning to fDGCD from gDGCD because f as a drone sounds better than g as a drone.

I tune it f#DGCD.
brilliant...thank you so much for taking the time to help.
Craig,
I put a copy of Sugar Baby in the tab archive if you can use it. Keep in mind that Doc Boggs or any players of that generation played both two/three fingerstyle and mixed it with Clawhammer...Jack Baker

Amazing! Thanks guys. I’ve started with the above PDF but I’ll definitely take a look at your tab aswell.
Thanks again chaps
Craig,
You can't go wrong with Jan's tabs. He's easily the best transcriber/tabber on BHO...I learn things from Jan all the time....Jack
Who would have thought one of my favourite songs was so simple ?? just need to perfect the little sequence on the 1st strings. Thanks again.
