'Love In Vain Blues' (Cover)

[RankAndFileGuy]

I see you were going after Eric Clapton's version. I prefer it as well because it's simple and really appealing. It's nice to see people doing songs that are 70-80 years old.

great voice man

[handyboy2000]

Best version on YouTube in Open tuning. Your voice is perfect - not straining and very smooth. The guitar sounds great also - much bertter than the standard tuning that is so much easier to play but inferior in tone.

A lot of people are going to want you to sing it like Robert. Ignore them.  You found your own voice.

Congrats. Though I'd love to see you film it using a decent camera.

[westvirginiawonder]

extremely .....just extremely.....your excellent! I'd buy your version! Singing is great and relaxed 5 *'s all the way, guitar is 5*'s all the way!

[shitmunchify]

Very light and jazzy. Interestingly executed, though don't be so shy with your singing. It would improve the performance.

[0tt01103]

nice job i see your playing it in A can you please give me the fingering your using for the opening chord? I know its some sort of mutted A thanks

[kblooz]

[carlguage]

Great Playin on this you got the feel for it!!Nice Work!!

[ruotze]

Man, this is great! I'm subscribing! You sound like Robert Johnson!

[emixolydian]

I love it.

[Galnick]

With this audio quality and that guitar, you could be the new Bob Johnson... Just wear a suit XD

[gfranc]

This is really great and you sing well too. One question though, what are those chords you're playing during the "all my love's in vain" part? I'd love to play this song.

[jpesce]

great job

[msqtube]

nice . good job that

[halo4484]

Very good. I quite enjoyed that.

[bobthesponge]

it's great!! it sounds like the robert johnson's version!! great blues voice

[Stefan087]

great!!

[seanoco7]

nicely done is that in standard tuning?

[manic2511]

yes, I played this in standard tuning. It's a typical blues progression in A. Unfortunately I have no tabs as I just played it from listening to the song, but if you have any questions - feel free to ask!

[seanoco7]

thanks, i'll give it a go 2nite, see where i get. i'm a little sloppy but might get close here and there. thanks again

[johnnync]

what are the tabs for this??

[taumm]

Only those who have tried it know how hard it is to play Johnson--let alone sing and play him at once. Olay for you!

[saulhughes]

excellent!

[Slowhand505]

Hey may it's ok , include for clapton it's difficult to play Robert Johnson songs , nice job

[dreamtheater21]

fuckin a bro.NICE!!! excellent job

[elvis334]

Wow. Very Nice Job!! Very Nice!

[Maxxxzzz]

PRETTY SWEET!

[ClaptonDeciphle]

Good Job, one of the few people ive seen on YouTube who can play Robert Johnson pretty close to the original. Of course not perfect, but then again I cant do RJ perfect either.

[BarnesSean]

Not bad guitar man. Most people on youtube can't grove. Robert Johnson had a complex style. Have you heard the Rolling Stones Stripped version ?

[manic2511]

thanks for your comment. Yeh, the Rolling Stones version is a really nice take on the song. I'd been listening to a lot of Robert Johnson as I was recording this, so I played his version. (...badly)

[ReBeat]

nice job son
