Well done vleb! RJ would be proud of you. Love the National resonator. The cough gives the song a little extra character, maybe the blues brought on by terminal illness (I certainly hope not), or need of another cigarette. Keep up the good work!
Nice touch and I kinda got a Fred McDowell in terms of slide work. Your a much better acoustic player than I am and I need to play acoustic more often.
the guitar kinda sounds like "cant find my way home" if it had been played by Robt J ;o)....quite a bit faster that the master...i like it tho the slide bites like RJ and the vocal is pretty similar . :o)
very nice. The slide sounds really haunting, just like in RJ's masterpiece. Do you play it in in open G tuned up a half step or open d tuned up a half step?
Your song is very impressive, there's something special in this piece :) this sad atmosphere, Your voice and vlebonator's sound - I really love them :)
hey great work, did you improvise some of this cause i downloaded the song from robert johnson and and your version is diff. if you can remember what the tabs are or if u still got them can you plz send them to me coz this is just a beautifull song. great job
Thanks for your comment ! This song came out RJ's piece...May be the start was my misunderstood of "hellhound on my trail" wich switched to "blues falling down like rain" ;-). Anyway, this is an "original" piece of mine, with a major influence by RJ. So, no tabs.
Nice arrangement. I like how the song opens, like the beginning of a light rain. It sets a nice mood--dark, but calm. I agree the guitar sounds great as well.
Beautiful sound; well played.

Excuse me for annoying you, do you mean DADGAD?

I'm expecting my first dobro guitar and i have played always with standard tunings.

Man, very nice playing. definately made the song
your own. not only nice sounding playing, really
good structure.

The playing is awesome, but I think you need to drive your voice lower - dunno, any other uneducated opinions?
mara235 4 years ago
You're absolutely right...I'm working on that. I've had some singing lessons since this video, and it's getting better, well, I hope so ;-)
vleb 4 years ago
Can I ask what kind of guitar that is - I've seen something like it used by the older blues players..seems a mix between guitar and violin structure.
mara235 4 years ago
Its called a resonater.
and the video was really good, i really like your playing.

"Hellhound On My Trail" is my favorite Robert Johnson tune. And I really, really loved this. It's very haunting.
You posted this last year, so I doubt you still even read these comments, but either way, it was great. Your voice is just wonderful.
