Rocks and Gravel - Acoustic Fingerpicking Blues - Mance Lipscomb

[guitarbluz62]

Very Nice Job! I learned a version of this song about 10 yrs ago taught by Steve James at the IGS in Seattle. Similar to yours, only with alternating bass lines throughout. Mance's music doesn't get the exposure like Mississippi John Hurt and other blues greats, but he's one of the best. Thanks for sharing!

[KrisLaybourn]

This is the one I like the most! all your vid's are topper!!! but here you sound likes mance's brother! take care.

Amazing playing have been watching your mandolin playing too. A question I am a bass player but love the blues. The guitar you are playing what make is it? really looking for an acoustic with a thick neck, everything i have tried the neck are way to thin for my hands.

thanks dan

I'm playing an 1927 Supertone - in those days guitars didn't have a truss rod in the neck - that's why they made the necks heavier/chunkier to withstand the pull...some people say : "baseball bat size"...you can find these guitars on evilbay...sometimes at good prices.

@dan670844 Washburn now makes a "vintage" parlor that has a 1.9 inch neck. Apart from being sort of ugly, they do possess the thumpy sound of pre-war era parlors.

Fingerpicking and singing is just perfect. Never heard of the guy before, but he is an excellent bluesman.

Comme toujours : excellent, sympa, cool : bref tout est là. merci Daddy !!!

[SUNNYD3322]

what a powerful voice you've got!!!5*****.

[toddlazarski]

Great stuff! Speaking of Mance, how about a little 'Chevrolet' ('I Want To Do Something For You'), or maybe, 'You Rascal You'... ??? Eh?

[ProfScratchy]

Love the bit at 1.57! As usual a fine authentic performance, Daddy S, even if you aren't wearing a bandage on your picking hand:)

[daddystovepipe]

@ProfScratchy

thanks prof, thought about the bandage but that would be too much schtick I suppose ;-)

[YTimshel]

Daddy ça fait longtemps que tu ne nous as pas fait partager des morceaux jazz de type "Cry me a river", "Manoir de mes rêves", "A little love". Je le regrette un peu !

[daddystovepipe]

Je comprends mais j'aime si beaucoup de genres.....musicalement je voyage en cercles et le jazz reviendrai...soyez patient ;-)

[greekflatpicker]
