[RedRiverRambler]

[kimonui]

[qtofdog]

so, my two favorites Statesboro Blues (McTell) and Crow Jane (Skip J) are done so well by this gal! Wonderful work!

[kamilede]

STANDART TUNING, AND YOU PLAY WITH CAPO, and you dont have any notes for that, haha

[wagg5]

Absolutely incredible. Loved every minute!

[Caldonias]

@hawk .. ya can't fix stupid brother....what's not to like?

[Caldonias]

Nice job lady!



[insous]

Do it girl!

[SonnyMcGhee]

Very nicely done

[peterhndz]

Oh mama!

[hawkan75]

I think it's strange that some persons actually pressed the "don't like"-button. Maybe I'm just a bit curious to the reasons behind the voting for these 25 persons... did they click the wrong link? :)

[mmairins]

Hi, i'm from Brazil, and love blues music.

Congratulations, u make a good job Cristine!

You have this TAB?!! So, thanks, Monique

[DonkeyBong18]

Its a shame woman this talented dont get the proper respect and attentiion, while brittany spears is still allowed to make millions and she has the same amount of talent as this girls pinkie finger. Which may still be waaaay to much credit bacause this girls pinkie happens to be very talented

[brooklotzkar]

Marry us all with your music, you have done.

We are in union to you. One love

[turkerozer35]

i love you..

[rickymohawk]

Lovely, soulful, voice, absolutely brilliant



[TheZombiefied1]

[STAB1L]

[RenegadeCHC]

[Thrashedbilly]

I always see his video, you ve an amazing voice and you re pretty gorgeous too

[luciano3nca]

you are very good. sounds alone or in a group? I love the blues fingerpicking and my favorite musician is Gary Davis. I tried to strum his songs for a living, but I need your skills in front of the bow. if you come on tour in Italy, send me a message I am listening to you. excuse my English. kisses luciano

[sunzsu]

i think its too fast. but that does not debase your skills. very nice done !!

[FlorianGribs]

Génial ! ;)

[schlooterhead]

[cocomaan]

You should do a lesson.

[bangwezl]

[TheWeslittle]

Great job! I grew up in skip James hometown of bentonia MS

[Hauff1988]

Best "Crow Jane" Cover I´ve ever heard. it`s so amazing, great voice and guitar playing

[GeorgesBarras]

My life's mission is now to learn this.

[GeorgesBarras]

@GeorgesBarras Done

[JoshDavenportMusic]

[TheChelseaTML]

[THATSNOTAMYTUBE]

[oronero66]

very nice job.....brava brava

[denxero]

you hot sexy woman with your finger pickin'... will i ever meet one like you...

[oknarbtal]

Marry me?

[splashtetra]

@oknarbtal me first

[Zyklopz9]

It is a little fast but really nice job- what made the original so surreal was Skip James' voice. He sung it like he really killed her.

[bajsnoed]

wow, you're great

[RavenMadd9]

love it woman ...

[william4201000]

I LOV THIS VID i can't stop watching it..

[LopeDiggity]

The fact that your the only person Ive seen with a cover really aggrivates me....perhaps I should challenge

[onesadsong]

Ah ok got it. All that's left is to sing at the same time :) Btw, your sound is very peaceful and this song has another taste played fast. Well done.

[onesadsong]

Is your guitar in standard tuning?

[elblusilla]

Fantastic!!! I need a girlfrend like youuuu!!!

[JhonnyDaemon]

You look so rad in this outfit. And brilliant as always.

[TheMoronParade]

When i heard it this fast i was pleasantly suprised, Very nice, i've gotten quite a pleasure out of some of your videos. one even let me in on something i was doing wrong :D thanks

[storytime1984]

i think im in love with you!

[greenAppleVodka]

<3 You make me want to learn guitar.

That was amazing..

[aleester]

Where have you been all my life??!!

[RJcur]

You nailed it!! Great job!

[BluesyBrew]

WOW! Very well done!

[Filotimos]

Yeah, sure, whatever.

[3fingerroll]

really good version , not sure what the guy below is on about ref speed .the original skips along in a non standard timing with the singing slighlty out of sympcopation which you captured. well done

[rix66]

yes, i understand some of the criticisms. she kinda rifles through it, but ultimately it's great music and she plays really well. i love it. i'm not a stickler for details and i know she's done some other great vids. hells yes!

[woland67]

you've done well, but you lack feeling.I'm sorry but it feels like you're just going throught the motions, this is a song about killing a lover. Think about it.

[RetroJenny]

Great job. I am an avid Delta blues addict, and your cover is excellent. I am trying to teach myself how to play guitar, and it is tough but well worth it.

[andresin323]

i keep coming back to youtube to listen to your version

[333blackmath]

Marry me.

[wufuer1]

please, record an album PLEASE, your guitar and voice are both too exceptional for you not to capitalize on them, I will buy the first 100 copies and hand them out - MiqFaukx

[anaphora]

I think the song is amazing at this speed. You've got the featured video spot on my channel, which features amazing unsung artists.

[Nonikailol]

Not trying to offend, only trying to offer some constructive criticism, but you play the song a bit to fast, it all feels stressed and uneasy. Otherwise you nailed it!

[coolfundylan]

I've always wanted to play the blues. You seem pretty good. Would you ever consider posting an instructional video on this particular song? Or perhaps email the tabs?

Thanks anyways!

[madFlam1]

my dick just got harder than times in '29

[DrNoth]

Well done! Keep playing. You are leaps and bounds over most guitarist.

[pbok005]

Awsome ! Love your style

[MrDoniLony]

NICE***

[MrDoniLony]

NICE

[yanis3]

You can't teach what you do, it's instantly loveable.

[groundcat]

i searched for cover versions of Skip James' Crow Jane and saw this. I thought, oh this is gonna suck. SHAME ON ME!! absolutely beautiful.

[reevo79]

wow great playing, great voice.

[Chrisnyc36]

Does your pinky hurt after you are done playing? It is in such and awkward position...

You are lovely by the way... I know you get that a lot, but I am just a primate, and can't think of a more clever or original way to say that you are awesome! BTW, I am totally stealing your style! not that it will be good, but I am learning...

[yanis3]

@Chrisnyc36 A lot players use that pinky thing. My classically trained guitar teacher told me not to do it, and so I went with his judgement. Tons of folk players do it, so I'm guessing its something those classical guys don't like much of :P

[Chrisnyc36]

Does your pinky hurt after you are done playing? It is in such and awkward position...

[BadAutio]

a real treat, lovely

[rocksboulders77]

I can offer you a place to live and food. we will marry and play guitar together.

[turkerozer35]

i love you..

[sonhouse80]

...yeaaaaahhhhh......

[86victorious]

you're awesome. love it

[MMMKIND]

Best skip version I ever heard!

[frankyh101]

post the chords you used accuracy doesnt matter people will make there own ways to play it

[djangolad]

Great pickn man!

[splinteredthroat]

you are amazing

[JoeCribbUk]

I don't think it's to fast!! Nice like that. You sing like an angel. Thanks for sharing that

[StinkySQL]

You're a lot of fun to listen to.

[jcookz407]

absolutely amazing version of this song! your voice is like a lullaby, and your guitar skills are out of this world, truly amazing.

[Bummelz]

that's some fine blues!!!!

[TheTostadero]

your performance is moving, but, if I may give an advice.... you need to feel it more... play it slower, a bit more sadness... I can't see you feeling the depth of thos hard lyrics... the execution is flawless, but there's a lot more to it.... I still think you have a cool song there!

[DirtyKwa]

Did Skip play this in Standard Tuning as well?

[MrHenry7142]

good stuff but i'd

slow it down a hair, you're runnin over the sadness in the song.

[POLISOIS]

i'm falling in love with you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jsuperman]

yup. i love you. 

[Bdiddly1]

fuckin hell,i stumbled on your page& i am honestly in awe&u play all the music i love(i dont play anywhere as good as you),u are great!

[sinferno5]

thank ;o) you!!!

[fallingdownalot]

That was lovely .Thanks

[mickster1965]

wauw!

[magnemites]

awesommme. I wish I was as good as you.

[lilbill73]

This songs chord structure is a lot like Mississippi J.H.'s Sliding Delta. Didn't realize that until just now. Pretty cool chick, I would love to ruffle her feathers.

[TheMoll60]

great picking relly admire you honey... you good mole ..london blues

[UndergroundMan1984]

Awesome cover.

[Numbpk3r2]

marry me?

[autinspare]

Thank you. It's christmas eve. I am at work and needed something to lift me up. You did it. Nice playing and your voice was just right for this song. Skip would be proud of your.

[HajrudinPranjga]

omg epic

[beardsly]

win.

[sled1950]

very impressive

[madFlam1]

dope. i don't have the patience to learn to play properly.

[sirfergusonn]

hell yah

[DoctorGonzo123]

well how about the chords then?

[OpakeArawra2]

@DoctorGonzo123 it's something like E-B-A, E-B7-E-B7... ya know, along with the melodies, those aren't too hard to figure out. message me if anything's something you can't figure out.

[sulanjyo]

last times i found blues too pessimist for me; but today in despair, you wake me up with your voice, I wanted to cry for my madness !

[punk6955]

great picking but sing it your way!!! not like skip.

[folopo2]

@punk6955

let her sing as she wishes. :)

it's amazing and honest.

cheers to all

[gavocrazy]

WHOAH THERE! Easy with the fingers! At that rate your gonna start breaking strings! Just slow down a little, is all i'm saying... let the blues just flow out of the guitar, the music will do the work! Just by listening, I can tell that your gonna have a great future!Let the music flow!

[DarumaXIV]

@gavocrazy Hurry up and post your version...We're all dying to see it.

[degen83]

This is amazing, I love this music and hearing you sing and play it ...very awesome :)

[SmilinJackB]

I really like your videos. Love your playing and blues songs. They make my eyes leak. Ever tried cigar box guitar? If interested, check out the Cigar Box Nation. Lots of good roots blues. 

[KrisLaybourn]

Smashing, 5*

[themothaflippin]

I like this.

[DarumaXIV]

IPBN,

21 fools (who probably can't play "Row Your Boat" on the guitar) ...voted "don't like" for your video. Hilarious!!

This is a really well done cover...I hope someday to be able to play Crow Jane this well.

I'm subscribed and look forward to more.

Thanks for the video!

[3611tim]

AWESOME!  YOU BLOW ME AWAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[gootenslog]

@3611tim

Good God, I was thinking the same thing!

Incredible

[Jauwp]

This cover is awesome. I had this song stuck in my head all day, but it was your version, not Skip's. Keep up the good work.

[muso354]

You can really play, (and sing) girl. I enjoyed listening!

[Kdees]

[midianpart2]

[iammrchubbsful]

HOLY SMOKES

[kevinrfar]

very nice - lovin' your blues style!

[Towelietowel]

Girls who can sing the blues make me melt.

So do girls who are better guitar players than me.

You are apparently my kryptonite.

[chunkMunky123]

Fantastic version. Great skills too.

[MrPowermeister]

i love you xxx

[thethunderperfctmind]

this is the best version of this on the internet, aside from Skip James' version, and frankly it's a pretty close call.

hey Christine, howzabout some "Crossroad Blues"...or, like, an album or something...prolly late to the party, but personally I'm pretty impressed.

[havokbaphomet666]

Would you be kind to send me a tab of this?

i would gladly transform into guitar pro format and put a credit line to you bellow the title

:)

[NINIO989]

wow.

[MrsMiddenfaceMcNulty]

Superb Christine. Thanks for posting.

[GaertnerJan]

[mauritoo07]

Muy linda voz, y linda la version hecha. Saludos desde Argentina.

[DannyDreamsDaily]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH ^&%&%$^*&)*^&%$@%#^

[zorbazig]

I love the way she pronounces "CWWOW JANE" too...

[gymhourfee]

"I didnt miss my water, till my well went dry"...Great line

[GaertnerJan]

@gymhourfee

i do agree, thats my favorite one ^^

[Matty73]

[zechariahisalive]

[v7nf]

[godfew]

[blackkeychucktown]

i hardly think the 21 dicks who disliked this could do better

[carlrandall06355]

Excellent! Love your fingerpicking, and your voice. I've wanted to learn "Crow Jane" for a while now, and I think I can probably get both the right and left hands from your video. Thanks, and keep on pickin'...

(Curious about your name: Did you take up the banjo exclusively? Hope not.)

[KevinFroleiksComedy]

wow! that's all I can say.

[ComStealth]

One thing to say...this is going on repeate, your play`n voice is golden.

[3006khz]

Hey Yomkipperbang, your AUDIOLOGIST called, he said "If you REMOVE your HEAD from your COLON, your hearing should return to normal"

[zorbazig]

@3006khz I agree !!! ;-D)))

[3006khz]

@zorbazig ~:-)

[3006khz]

@zorbazig Yea, "Banjo" has my respect as a fellow musician / guitarist... Banjo also has impeccable taste in music ( in my opinion )!!!

[3006khz]

Skip, has to be up there smiling...

[JonathanDaddy]

@3006khz

Amen, brother. Great to hear young people picking up this great music.

[3006khz]

Hey IBG67, congrats on winning the "IDIOT OF THE YEAR" award!... We all look forward to the next time you post your "Words From An Igorant Cumsponge" blog on Words From Idiots. com. We hear that you are also up for the coveted "PEOPLE WHO'S TASTE IS ALL IN THEIR MOUTH" award!... Good Luck on winning that. I for one, will be voting for you... 

[guitarbastrd]

Outstanding!! I love this song and I love you too for doing it.

[IBG67]

Your voice is just not right for this. Its very bothersome.

[Yomkipperbang]

This is pretty terrible, tempo is all wrong, off key singing. Might as well have been played on kazoo with a comedy slide trombone behind it for all the feeling that was there.

[neonatalpenguin]

@Yomkipperbang Shut your fucking ratfink mouth!

[PascaleBourgeois]

You rock woman!

[jackn1969]

Wow, excellent. Well sung and played. Not too many in the blues scene can play that well and such a hard song too.

[Just1Spark]

Wow. Best cover yet.

Maybe slur some of the lyrics a tad. Or slow down a half step.

But really bad ass!

[Just1Spark]

Wow. Best cover yet.
