[sunfox21]

You caught my heart with this song.... And the Harley Davidson on your shirt....I'm only 30 miles from their headquarters....

[ritterkruez]

Could you refilm showing both hands?

[aXegat]

[johnpickle]

This song has hunted me since I was 12. Awesome job! Trying to play it now. Not going to well. Is that standard tuning?

[Xychk]

I prefer your version to Ry's- Really- you must love this music

[TangoEditing]

this song reminds me of crocidiles swimming in swamps...?

[carlosdeno]

open tuning or standard dude, excellent 2, nice work.

[ritterkruez]

Top 5 alltime Man Movies! Great rendition-

[whaaq2]

[Xychk]

This is really terrific, and I am not a charitable critic at all- a beautiful song expertly performed- you must love this song.

[Muwt]

SPOT ON, sir.

An all time fave here.

[08shortstop]

The hands of a master ... WOW! ... Ry brought the swamp to life in Southern Comfort ... thanks Trisblues.

[XXTUCHITXX]

[GTElwood]

Staminchia!!. (a tipical Southern Italian exclamation of surprise :D )

You get it, i can't stop to listen it.

Wonderful mood man.

[maZZiveAttack]

[francomanca]

..I have to say it and ...please Ry .....do not get upset.....this version is way .....more intriguing..than the original....I know I'm asking alot...but you think it would be possible to upload a video where you show what both of the hands are doing?.....Regards

[pretty9reenpark4]

[JLo45LC]

Great video! Thanks for posting. MAN, I wish I could find a good tab for this song....I've always wanted to play it but I'm a "not-so-skilled" amateur and need tab to practice with over an over.

[dennysdigs]

Excellent cover... How are the tabs coming along?

[arrowslinger60087]

My goal is to learn to play this one song, can you recommend a good guitar to purchase? Never played before and really want to achieve this goal of mine, great cover! My email is perry.richey@comcast.net would appreciate any help :)

[brahmin21]

[timglas]

I love it! More vibrant than the original!

[timglas]

I love it!

[pushkinini]

Hey Mr.Blues ! Thanks for posting this up...I have been looking for tabs for years for this one. I 'm always moved by Ry Cooder's atmospheric soundtracks. You have done this justice...I am another one who can't stop playing it now ;-)

Kind regards

[Portescue]

Awesome, really good job mate.

[synthesizer301]

absolutely wonderful : )

[Trisblues]

@synthesizer301 Wow, thanks very much!

[jenwalke]

Many thanks, can't stop playing it now...

[Trisblues]

@jenwalke You're very welcome!!

[JessieLewis0293]

You wouldnt happen to have the tabs for this please? Inspired much!!

[Trisblues]

@JessieLewis0293 No tabs, all done old school I'm afraid. Tune to open D and watch my finger work. Consign it to memory and you'll have it in no time!

[CarlBank250]

Hey, Is that you "kiltedrebel"?

I learned so much from you and hope to upload my 2nd slide flick asap.

Glad, you are still here!

Did you finish the tabs on this great tune already?

[Trisblues]

@CarlBank250 Yup it's me! I'm glad I helped and am looking forward to seeing your new vid!

[CatFishinSouthernBoy]

i like this its beautiful it reminds me of times i had with my brother brings up memories i dont have him anymore he has passed away now

[Trisblues]

@CatFishinSouthernBoy Wow, thank you too. I'm so glad I was able to give you that time again.

[SuperJmyles]

What tuning is this in?

Tried G and Gm, but can't get the picked bits

[Trisblues]

@SuperJmyles It's open D. That's DADF#AD

[b1ker47]

Well, thats as close as 'fuck it' is to swearing. Nicely done pal.

[Trisblues]

@b1ker47 Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!

[blackthorn1975]

How did one gimp not like this. That was amazing performance of a great tune. Thanks for uploading.

[Trisblues]

@blackthorn1975 Thanks very much indeed!

[DefinitelyMaybe65]

I have been in love with the soundtrack to this film and this piece especially, since the first time I watched it when released, this and Paris, Texas - Takes my breath away. So great to watch you play it and to play it so true to the way Ry Cooder plays it. Fantastic thank you!

[Trisblues]

@DefinitelyMaybe65 Wow. high praise indeed. I too fell in love with the theme when I first heard it, took me a couple of years to pluck up the courage to actually set about trying to learn it...and I did, old school! Took me months so I'm glad the hard work paid off!

[Behutet93]

It's not the notes being played but the space between them, so i am told....this is an excellent piece played majestically. Love it.

[Trisblues]

@Behutet93 Indeed, all to do with what you don't play and I'm glad you enjoyed.

[71ibanez]

thats very very cool! spot on and great playing!!!

[Trisblues]

@71ibanez Thanks!

[eeyyron]

Very nice...I always thought that was an awesome intro to a movie. Thanks for the tuning description, I'm gona try to learn it by watching your vid. Take care

[Trisblues]

@eeyyron Super, good luck. I had no video to go off, so had to do it old style. Open D (a hair detuned), get really familiar with it so you know every note and accent, then watch my vid, it follows really easily!

[BlindWillieJackson]

You sound like a big Ry Cooder soundtrack fan. There's a lot of good stuff from "Johnny Handsome" & "The Border". One of the best songs from The Border isn't even on the soundtrack, though. It's from the scene where Jack Nicholson goes into the Mexican joint to retrieve a missing girl. John Hiatt sings the vocals & it rocks. I wish I could find it.

[Trisblues]

@BlindWillieJackson Yeah I know, I love that and tried finding it myself but no luck!

[powergene1]

Really nice playing fella.

[Trisblues]

@powergene1 Thanks!

[rambo1157]

like lising to this after a beer or to

simple great

[Trisblues]

@rambo1157 Yeah the beer helps, and I am glad you enjoyed it!

[rambo1157]

@Trisblues

hi thank you for getting back but like slide and blues

simple great music rambo

[StearmanR985]

Very Nice!

[Trisblues]

@StearmanR985 Thanks!

[zoso72]

Wow, great! 5 stars! What's the effect combination you use to get that tone?

[Trisblues]

@zoso72 Running through a Fender Twin, some gentle tremelo and that's it. I'm glad you enjoyed!

[stanosijek]

Dude, great job!

[Trisblues]

@stanosijek Cheers mate!

[fgdh07]

sounds great!

[Trisblues]

@fgdh07 Thanks very much!

[Trisblues]

@fgdh07 Thanks very much!

[crowldawg]

fawesome.

[Trisblues]

@crowldawg Thanks!!!

[NWAfan]

5 stars all the way

[Trisblues]

@NWAfan Thanks very much!!

[Jimmyfix]

I must say again, this is probably one of the most outstanding lessons on the tube.

I\ve learned so much from this video.

If it ever gets taken down, i hope u will upload again.

This is pure gold.

P.s. Hope u had a fine summer !

[ste123456754]

i think ry cooder would be very impressed with your playin you do his work real proud

[Trisblues]

@ste123456754 Wow Ste thanks very much for saying that. I always hope one day if Ry was at a loose end he might swing by and check it out. So far Les Copeland has left some very nice messages but Mr Cooder has yet to say Hi....we all live in hope don't we?!

[clockworkmike83]

Eh fuck, it's times like tonight , when im feeling really down and it's like the whole goddamn world is out to get me, that I can come on here and listen to some old Ry Cooder riffs especially from someone who can actually play them as well as Trisblues, and I don't feel so bad. They call that style of music the blues, but the blues never made me feel bad, if anything it always makes me feel a lot better. So thank you again Trisblues, your covers always cheer me up

[Lavalole]

bloody awesome playing and tune there mate. i've just got done watching this movie again, it's extraordinary that certain types of music can really take you to some other part of the world.

Added to favs.

[Trisblues]

@Lavalole Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed and yeah a superb film and one of the best film scores ever written.

[TheMightyHartley]

Beautiful cover, played excellently!

You're very talented.

[Trisblues]

@TheMightyHartley Thanks very much!!!

[bloobear1]

Beautiful! :-)

[Trisblues]

@bloobear1 Thanks!!!

[unclegaryjerome]

freaking awsome!!!!!!!!!!

[Trisblues]

@unclegaryjerome Cheers mate! Took some time I'll tell ya!

[onewickedchild]

Awesome ! 

[Trisblues]

@onewickedchild Aw thank you very much!!

[SgtGarand]

Hey, really good playing. I'm trying to learn this myself. I tried watching your fingers, but I think I'll just wait until you can make some tabs. Don't seem like there are any out there to be found online

[Trisblues]

@SgtGarand I'm glad you enjoyed it, I tried to train the cam onto the fretboard so you could get a better view as I haven't done the tabs yet

[piotrkan7]

Hey Dude,

Have You done tabs already ? Could You send them ?

[Trisblues]

@piotrkan7 Hey buddy, nope not had the chance to sit down and work out the tabs yet

[samborez]

Excellent! Thanks for doing this piece and doing it so well. I can see the Spanish Moss now!(them 'gator eyes,too)

[Trisblues]

@samborez Thanks very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Denny78]

Awesome!! Great job, man. Sounds amazing

[Trisblues]

@Denny78 Thanks very much!!

[FreeManu13]

Thanks a lot I love this music so much !!! It would be really great if you could send me the tab (if you have one) cause I dream about being able to play it. You're very good a pleasure for my ears.

[Trisblues]

@FreeManu13 Thank you very much, and unfortunately no tab is available; I have yet to sit down and actually work out the tab for it but when I do I will publish it here.

[max66go]

Thank you thank you thank you. My favourite song. Absolutely. Now i can try to plays it (I hope).

Are you using open tunes? Would you please indicate the tune? (sorry for my english).

Thank you again

[Trisblues]

@max66go I am glad you enjoyed it. The tuning is open D (DADF#AD)
