Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning.Blind Willie Johnson.

[hchoron]

One of the best demonstrations of blind willie's technique i'e seen. Beautifully done. Very soulful and at the same time rockin'.

[Jeremiahscool]

mayb send me a copy of the tab?

[TMS320C5505]

Your style is so hard - really makes the National scream.

[MrFreefrog59]

I love it, just listened to it 5 times in a row..

Bob did you ever tab this one as you play it...If you have I wouldn't mind a copy.

Thanks and keep up the good work..."You got to move" would sound good on that

guitar :-)

[TMS320C5505]

You really have got the feel of BWJ.

picking very hard - BWJ played in the streets so would have done the same.Like the shuffleboard sound as well to make it danceable.



[JaguarAJ6]

[felixmagnuswebb]

You're great! And a lefty like me. I've just bought a resonator (right handed and converted it) I hope I can play it as well as you

[Boosto111]

On voit que tu n'est pas un amateur, cher ami guitariste à l'abondante et non moins superbe barbe.

[goharrygo0124]

great feel !

i clapped my hands.

[fender223]

aswome man!!!! what chord are you tuned too?

[FraJa1980]

Looks like open D or E to me, he uses the top D or E string as a rootnote for as far as i could see so my guess is a 1-5-1-f3-5-1 tunning known as Vestapol.

To the video owner.... great job man!!! I realy like how that steel spiderbride sounds!!! Five stars and keep up the good work

[just2w4tch]

That's a great rendition. Thank you for making it.
