[sirswedishmike]

it is rad that people are doing lessons on this tune!!! Thanks a lot!!!

[rghoyos]

Thanks for sharing this lesson.

Your guitar is tuned 1/2 step down?

[ormusbaxter]

maybe... i always tune by ear

[JSarmbru]

Seems like a lot of the old time blues guys tuned down one or two half steps. It's a slinkier, looser feel, and it's worth trying out. Plus you might find it easier to sing in the lower key(s).

[BTTHEBAND]

Ya he's tuned down.

[inikokir]

no more vids anymore? bro, what happened?

[Buitretom]

Great lesson, thanks a lot for the lesson...I'm getting closer to it!!!

[ringu]

[niranam999]

Excellent lesson. Very clearly demonstrated.Easy to follow. Thanks very much.

[patshoesy]

super... merci !!!!

[MISTERDMV]

It's a nice lesson for people who play classical nylon string guitars. Most lessons concentrate on electric. You do good work. Take care.

[ormusbaxter]

hi, it works on acoustic steelstring guitars as well ;)

[Bohumill2]

great lesson, can you write here all chords of this song?? Thanks

[milathewho]

wow, very nice played, thank you very much.

[jrmullett]

I've been using this lesson, its one of the best I've found. You really should do some more!

[slackmason]

i like the lesson . would love if you used a guitar with some sort of dot inlay so i wouldnt have to count frets lol but other than that AWESOME

[Tsull123]

Yes. The fact that stuff like this is on YouTube gives me a bit more faith in humanity. Thank You.

[mercsport]

Thanks for that lesson in 'essential' Tommy Johnson. I've tried to get a handle on his style for so many years now. I feel I'm nearly there now. ( ..a bummer that I can't sing ! ) You've helped enormously. Cheers ! P.S., I don't have a tuner either but I was in sync with your guitar straight off.

[pacisablo]

hello, i tried to learn that canned heat blues song from your lesson. please look me up at you tube under pacisablo. leave a comment, i'd like to learn more from your blues, but you only have one lesson that i've found. please respond dude

[natureswhey]

Thank you .. that was really good

[Winston523]

excellent . can you do some johnny winter blues?

[joan7bolandme]

very nice lesson,and thanks so much for caring!!

[Sebut]

fein! verdammt, ich will nu auch endlich mal gitarre lernen! auch mehr so in die blues/folk oder auch southern-rock sparte! bin n großer neil young fan, so zu spielen bzw die richtung wäre optimal für mich. mir fehlt da immo nur die zeit für:(

ps: danke für dein kommentar!

[ormusbaxter]

i often change between tunings and don't have any electronic tuner, so after playing for some time, there might be some variation... my apologies

[paulmeng77]

8notes(dot)com has a tuner on it's site

[Randysinger]

WHY DO you tune your guitar down a half step? It would be better if you used standard A=440 tuning

[sirswedishmike]

thanks a lot, I just heard this song for the first time a few days ago on the southern blues vol.1 compilation, and know I can play it and utilize some of the techniques in my own blues playing.

thanks a lot

[ferfried6]

Kommt prima rüber.

Werde ich auch mal nachspielen.

Danke für's zeigen.

[inikokir]

thanks!!! post more up!

[llieno]

Well done, great lesson! More please.

[bobheaton]
