  • I hope you have quit that day job.......you are an entertainer! Clean, crisp pickin and outstanding vocals. Great rendition.

  • Love this, you play it so fluidly - singing's great too.

  • Great Job Lady""

  • i'm trying to learn this songs myself since a while and it ain't easy at all. much respect. 

  • wow you sound great what a voice thanks

  • Now how come you ain't rich and famous!  Sounds great and your voice too! I second the motion! Quit your day job and get going girl!!

  • Very nice...not to easy to play and sing at the same time. Very good job

  • You are a much better musician than many whom I've seen here on Youtube with a million hits. I'm am a self-admitted elitist. I see in you what the morons who give some others a million hits are missing.

  • nothing more sexy then a women with the blues... seriously nicely done. subbed :D

  • Marry me.

  • Sweet job lady.....great vocals too....You need some back-up, cause you're damn good....

  • thanks

  • nice !

  • wow Very Well Done Girl! I was going to post my version of this tune but WOW I'll have to keep praticing it now! You got a brand-new Fan Now Girl! I'm going to see what else you got out there, thanks for being "you" [must feel dam good!]

  • wow hun well orchestrated

  • you need to go to wheatland girl

  • Nice!

  • you rock and your hot!

  • GREAT! You sing and you pick - just great!

  • I happened upon your video while enjoying different treatments of this Doc Watson classic. I started playing music for a living in 1980, so I know a little something about it and I hope you'll believe me when I tell you what a real fine job you did on this song. Not only did you toss in a couple of nice guitar licks that I didn't see coming, you sang the hell out of it, too. Love that Delta blues quality to your voice. My advice - don't change a thing. Hope you'll post some more.

  • @southernhonkytonker Thank-you! This is actually the first tune I learned to fingerpick. I tackled a tough one and it seems it took YEARS ! LOL I was about 13 yrs. old so I guess I've played this one a few thousand times. It's still my favorite tune to pick and sing. Doc rocks!!!!!

  • Great guitar picking!

  • Awesome!

    awesome guitar,

    awesome singing,

    thanks for the music

  • You're amazing! 

  • You sounds great

  • I love it! My Dad was lucky enough, when he was a kid, to see the Delmore Brothers in person....and they taught him to play Deep River Blues (Big River Blues) and Brown's Ferry Blues and Dad played with them in the show. Even though Dad's been gone for many years, I can still put my ear to his D-28 (one of his many guitars that I stil have) and hear those songs.

    It was great to hear you play and sing it! I know you love to play it as much as we like to listen! :-) THANKS!

  • Fantastic picking. Glad I found your page. Keep the vids coming.

  • Quit your day job!!!

  • love it! i think Doc Watson would approve

  • GREAT!!

    I love your fingerpicking, I love the powerful and empathic way you sing ... - your songs are what I would call "authentic"! That's why I love your videos :-)

    (Even if -espacially in this one- the recording quality is a bit low. But that doesn't make the video less worth to watch and enjoy! ;-)

  • Awesome pipes and you pick it like a pro. Came here from Doc Watson's 1991 recording and I'm not the least disappointed but rather impressed by your detailed hammer-ons and pull-offs and variations/extensions. Get a bar gig if it makes you happy, You can carry it.

  • DAMN.  Just... wow.

  • Thank you, awesome!Been trying to learn this.

  • you take the sour out of sauerkrout glad I got to hear you play fine fine fine

  • Wow! You are very talented...& You sing so pretty. God Bless You :)

  • Great job! I can't believe there are at least 15 morons out there who would give this a thumbs down. No shortage of knuckle heads I guess. But you rock in my book!!!

  • wow! great playing! great performance! love this song - great version.

  • Great version of this song....your fingerpicking is awesome.

  • ......wow. I'm 22 years old and go to school in Boulder colorado, but this woman takes the cake. does love at first sight count if its on youtube?

  • I have played with a lot of guys and girls over the last 45 yrs, I would jam with you anytime and love every minute of it. You make good music.

  • I love your style. Wish we could Jam! Keep it up your great!

    

  • Excellent !

  • Excellent !

  • Excellent, excellent picking and singing!!

  • you should be up on stage every night you deserve it awsome

  • Best compliments. I bet you would do a great job covering a few of the songs that Linda Ronstadt use to sing.

  • THATS NOT KITCHEN?!!

  • Outstanding darlin! I've been trying to do a good rendition of this for a while.

    It takes a dedicated musician to try this one. Nice job

  • very well played, great version... id ask you to marry me, but we would only argue cos you can play guitar and sing better than me ... nah, marriage is totally out of the question! sorry :)

  • 15 dislikes?? Why??? I  dont get it.

  • This style of playing is just so fun isn't it? You are better at it than me, but i'll never give up. Where did you learn your version? Could it perhaps be from a Mel Bay book since that was in your response to that one misogynistic comment towards you? Oh, and you were absolutely fantastic!

  • Wow.

    Being a man who is inflicted with girl-sized hands & fingers, it's encouraging to see a woman navigate the fretboard so well.

  • Oh my

  • I ran out of words!... and I'm a lawyer!!, unbelievely good, outstanding singing, fantastic fingerpicking, marry me!

  • Wow!! I'm floored! That was fantastic!!! I'm off to check out everything else you've done. How can it be that you're not playing professionally?

  • Wow, you should get up on the stage. Get out of your kitchen and dust your broom.

  • Damnd superb playin

  • pretty awesome

  • a new subscriber! outstanding tour de force!

  • Nice little pulloff @ 2:30ish ;)

  • brava ciao da cani randagi luciano conza

  • I can't believe some of the remarks you are attracting. You are extremely talented and have a fantastic voice....lovely to have chanced upon your film; I am sure, like myself you get a great deal from music and will continue to do so.

  • You are very talented and a great voice. Could listen to you all day. Keep up the hard work. It`s deffinitly paying off.

  • chathamsnob has problems. snob doesn't express is clearly enough, I'd say more like sot.

  • Great pickin'! Authentic blues sound on the vocals too. Very cool.

  • I listen to this and it´s real blues.Nice voice and guitar.Find you out when I was listen to Leo kottke and Deep River blues.Keep on.

  • Great arrangement! Fantastic fingerpicking, almost as good as Doc Watson. She's gotta be a professional musician. Bluesy voice as well.

  • @JohnnyReb2009

    Thanks! LOL! I never pick up my guitar or banjo! I wish I could! My day job keeps me too busy but I do enjoy the time I do get to play! glad you enjoyed the tune, thanks for listening!

  • @katduke Quit the damn day job!!!!!

  • @zoot2233 Wish i could quit and just pick all of the time! LOL! If I can figure how to live without money, I'm done working!!! Glad you enjoyed the tune, thank-you!

  • @JohnnyReb2009 Dont compare any old hack to Doc Watson!!

  • mam, You play amazing, I sure as hell wish I could pick like that. You sound amazing, and you look good! Bravo! your awsome :-]

  • Will you follow me around and play music all day? This is wonderful! The world needs more of this. Bravo!

  • cool playing

  • outstanding. you 'get it' -- have what cannot be learned. nice job. you are a gem of a woman. this is all the evidence i need.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome!

  • o hell now im pissed .struggling to just get that guitar down, there you are like if you could wake up in the night and rattle this of perfect,singing away with the sleepers still in your eye . im well determined now ...i will be back this song will be mine o yes ... well may be .....i hope .very well done BTW.

  • Love your talent.

  • veeeeeery good! are you professional singer?

  • I think it's funny how just about every guy that comments on a video of a girl playing guitar feels it's necessary to tell her that she's hot and sexy, like she's never heard it before. Anyway, katduke this is a very good rendition of the song; one of my favorites from Doc. Keep up the good work!

  • I wanna be your boyfriend :D good job ;)

  • God gave you a talent girl. Use it. God Bless

  • damn, i gotta learn some doc watson

    you've got a beautiful voice and some superb pickin skills

    good stuff =]

  • great playing! You've got a very soulful voice too!

  • you've got a very soulful voice! Great picking too!

  • Wish I was down in Dixie Land, things are better there I found...Lord I've got the JAMES RIVER BLUES!!!! LOL, just a little lyric change I made in the last verse when I was up north and missing home. That's some pretty good picking by the way.

    joe

  • Love to jam some solos with ya!

  • good job very inpressive. God bless.

  • Not bad for anyone! Great job katduke!

  • You sing and play so very well and I like your version better than Doc Watson's - praise indeed. You move effortlessly over the frets. Thank you.

  • Baby, you BAD!! You just busted out that tune...real authentic. Don't stop what you're doing, and pass it on to the next generation.

  • wish i could sing...it is easy to learn how to play if you love it(like i do),but to sing, you just have to be born with it.Oh,great video btw,very pleasing to the ear,and to the eye :)

  • Very nice job....I'm learnin the banjo & guitar and cant wait for the day till i can play half as good as ya'll do, on all ur vids.....and dont let some moron get u down...keep up the good work.

  • well done lass you really look like your enjoying it, and well done for being fit too

  • absolutely great! you rock! that tune grooves so well, i wish i knew how to play that!

    p.s. the camera's sound quality really doesn't do you justice! i hope you'll repost this if you decide to get a new camera! :)

  • Very funny version ! Deep groove ! nice feeling ! Thanks for this great moment with you and your guitar . (5*****)

  • @chathamsnob1

    I went to your page and noticed you're not sharing your talent with us! How dissappointing! What difference does it make what gender I am? Music is music and talent is talent and hard work to learn to play is hard work! I suggest you get a cheap guitar and a Mel Bay book and post your own video's!!! Then I can comment on your stuff. It would probably say "terrible for a man" I've heard that same thing from jerks like you all my life. Jealousy is a B..ch!

  • @katduke i'll correct the maderfucker and say it's unbelievably impressive for both women and a man

    you got some skills there

  • @katduke

    Oh lawdy

    Put him in his place :3

  • @chathamsnob1 LoL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Very cool guitar & vocals

  • very nice performance!!! all the best!

  • Honey, I don't know what you do for a living, but I know what you could be doing!

  • @da324

    not doing what I want to be doing LOL! If I could make a living picking, I'd be on stage every night LOL! thanks for the comment!

  • I know what you mean! We're young, we still have time. LOL In the meantime, keep em' coming!

  • amazing voice great sound exuberantly expressed from your guitar here also yet the two fingers on the body of the guitar seems quite strange to me although unaffective to the sound quality, great job!

  • @hellmonster666

    Glad you enjoy my picking, thanks for the comment!

  • Damn nice!

  • wow could you do a tutorial with this song? in parts so we can follow you?

  • nice guitar ! and very good work ! :-)

  • nice work dude 5/5

  • yeah nice work buddy

  • very very nice keep it up

  • Now thats the blues!!!

  • Katduke, you were cookin' on this! A friend of mine used to play this tune in a coffee house, and he'd call me up to back him up on harp. I'd really slam that diminished chord on my solo. This was so good I had to play it twice.

  • Damn that was good....

  • holy crap that was AWESOME! *****

  • Nice work! Tear it up girly

  • That's some good pickin' lil' lady.

  • EXCELLENT!!!

  • Best version i heard so far, thats going in my fav's

  • Wow! Great playing and singing ...

    Thanks for posting ...

  • Smokin'!!!!! Got my sub for sure. Great playing and singing:)

    Kevin

  • That`s beautiful. You`ve captured my heart.

  • sounds just great.

  • Very well done. Just a passing comment. I 'v noted how many different ways you can play the same thing on a guitar and it's truly amazing. I have to think you know something about jazz theory and chord progressions? By the way amplification is fine.

  • i... love you....

  • Pretty fancy playing!

  • Wow, great job, gal. I love this song.

  • BRILLIANT!

  • Congrats... I love it...

  • ooooooh sry

  • don't sing agin

  • she's great..... don't ever try to spell again.

  • yea she's more than great .

    but you didn't get my point.

    i said don't sing agin cuz this song reminded me of good memories.

    sorry if i didn't explained more.

  • cool playing, you have a great voice and you deliver a gutsy performance - not sure about the amplification but it's still a treat

  • The distorted audio detracts from the obvious quality of the performance in my completely subjective opinion.

    Brilliant picking, brilliant vocals, brilliant version of a great song but there is nothing good about distortion. It`s not that difficult to fix and re-upload so please consider it.

  • Well put. Constructive criticism wins.

  • Smokin' You nailed it.

  • What i think the most that vid is your voice. BEcause the original is reaaaally low the voice. And you put it high without any dificulty. Congratulations,.

  • I LOVE IT!

    (:

  • Hey, that was awesome, the picking, the voice, just perfect. And I actually like the audio quality makes it sound very genuine. Like them old delta blues recordings.

    Much love

    Wilhelm

  • Awesome!!!!! Love to see the ladies smoking the guitar and singing.

  • I think this is a great performance.

  • great..just great!

    you got pipes, and pickin' like a pro too..

    love to hear you without all the sound bouncing off walls and such..like in a studio you'd just kill it!

    keep up the great videos!

    boog

  • Hey Sister,

    you've got pipes, and pickin' too.

    would love to hear how you sound in a studio without the instrument and vocals bouncing off walls!

    Excellent..keep doing more!

    boog

  • didnt know what to expect, impressed me actually...thanks

  • Great!!! - thanks so much for sharing you music - i really enjoyed it.

    you can give up your day job :)

  • The lady got SKILLS....nice!

  • That's marvelous!

  • I really enjoyed this.

  • That was pretty daggone nice! I swear, with that opening bit of pickin' I could of swore I was hearing Doc Watson for a second there. :)

    Singing not half bad either!!!

  • nice job! I like the the style of singing to this great old tune.. adding some variety and different styles is what make music be influenced and change and provides your own uniqueness to it. .I also liked your intro and outro...keep on singing and picking !!!

  • Great playing. IMO that style of singing doesn't suit this track, at least not with a single guitar, it would be better with a full band doing a different arrangement as it is quite abrasive sounding on its own.

  • Very nice!!...Im sure you will inspire other young women to display their playing abilities as well.....please keep the vids coming....Shalom

  • a big mouth and no videos on his own channel:P. Guys like you should just know how hard it is this lady here is doing! Amazing work, 5/5.

  • I detect some jealousy in the posts on this one!

    Nice one Katduke!!

  • i loved your singing on this i dunno what those other guys are talking about, great job you put a lot of country in these blues and with feeling too!

  • i'm still tryin' to play this song...

  • This gal is good...she needs better audio but you can tell her playing is terrific!

  • awesome picking and singing Ms.

    great job

  • Gall dang girl good playin.

  • i like your voice,,good!!

  • hochbob post your version,the old sayin goes like this "if you aint got nothing good to say ,just stay quite.we'll be waitin on your version,me thinks she has a real blues voice.plus she plays better than any female i've ever heard.women usally dont have the hands strenght {im pro women}no put down intended

  • Good picking. Not so good screaming.

  • Katduke that was great fantastic version love your singing really bluesy very special x
