[treetrunkss940]

DADFAD man

[vasagram]

I'm 100% sure its in D tuning! I have played it in standard and C and it does not work.

Great song

[buulMusic]

@vasagram You're 100% wrong. it's in open D minor. Close though!

[billder999]

Man, you started out talking all chippy and happy and I almost clicked off, and then you started to sing... what a nice surprise! You have a great voice and phrasing, and very well played guitar as well. This is a very emotional & difficult song, and you nailed it. Thanks very much.

[MissSommieBear1220]

Oh my god. Youre amazing. So much soul and emotion in your voice. It was truly beautiful.

[simplethunder]

Amazing cover, holy mother you're gifted with one hell of a voice man.

[moseseseseses]

A very very good, even great blues squall this boy has in his voice to vintage out this song. I look for this boy to be a blues great with his voice. I hope more hear this and encourage him, this is great.

[earthlyradiodotcom]

fucking brilliant thank you

[6thStringPlayer]

Guitar is Solid ... Your Voice Is Pure Gold !!!

[1424241]

What an excellent voice. This is one of my favorite songs of all time... and it was on my favorite movie of all time. Your voice fits it well.

[alphatom334]

I very much enjoyed listening to your cover of Skip James' song, but especially your voice; do you play professionally because you sure have the soul and the look for it? i'm a guitar player myself, although most of what i know i've learned on my own; i've been blessed with an audiographic memory and can usually hear songs in their original key in my head after hearing it once; Great job!! you have a special gift; don't ever stop; look forward to more of you doing similar stuff; thanks again

[OrchestralLULZ]

This is absolutely amazing. The key is in open D minor btw. but this is still amazing :)

[SkyeAnya]

you are fantastic, great voice.

[Pfranklin28]

[THotchGladwell]

[countsmyth]

[ThisWickedBullShit]

Such soul & power, absolutely amazing. Thank you!

[gootenslog]

Very impressive performance....you have the correct Skip James voice.

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

Skip sings very different than this. Very different.

[HHHdahman]

@jamie666666666666666 Kelly Joe Phelps version is a tottaly different spin on this song,but a great version.KJ can play the shit out of that guitar.Im starting to think that this is just so great of a song when done by talent its Great.Love Skip's,Kings,Johnpauls and Phelps versions!

[armor452]

Very nice.

[MojoMixer3676]

good voice man! keep it up and go pro?

[travlr423]

great job. good playing skills and damn good vocals.

[coldsake07]

what was the tuning you used for this? and how did you learn the song? was it by ear?

[ZechsMerquise73]

Wow, that voice is so pronounced. Sends chills up my spine.

[bevanmcg]

Shit man I wish i had 1/100th of your talent !! You got one of the best blues voices ive ever heard. There are many many people out there doing this professionally who really dont hold a candle to your singing and playing. I really wish you all the best and hope to hear more in the future.

[s8ns8ns8ns8n]

Hey John Paul.

Wonderful version, awesome voice and yes you do have a bit of Paul Rodgers in there.

)

[ShalomYal]

[brycecake2]

[stargell777]

Not bad!

[usernameabz]

Real smooth voice.

Nice :)

[Torpor111]

I notice you shift into that same headspace while you're playing that this song takes me to whenever I hear it . The shift from your intro to the quiet stllness at the end.

Nice, man. Very nice.

Peace to you too.

[nkcbtx]

holy shit. wow

[bubbat5150]

[SydneyNSE]

You really did this song justice! Amazing voice, and i like how you did put your own talent into it, not just an obvious attempt to replicate. great job!

[Bubbaballz4]

damn dude this is fuckin awesome.. great job, you put alot of feeling into this

[songmanslim]

Thats by far the best version iv heard of that skip james jam, really soulful man, id buy your record, did you de-tune your guitar??? if so whats the tuning??? thanks

[zachschevelle]

Tuning is DADFAD.

[BuddyBrownMusic]

Unbelievable brother..thats how you do it right there boy!

[TheDanailama]

I hope you're going to make music as a profession and i wish you the best in that case.

[Beck10g]

Man how did you learn to play that?

[IaraIstSimeo]

[fredfredburger2626]

[murf5824]

great cover did you learn by ear? ive been meaning to sit down and pick this one out guess i got to now haha. my CD sounds like its in the key of D. not sure if thats what your using here or alternate tuning.

[JOHNPAULCARMODY]

yeah, i put it in drop d. Not sure if that's what it is but it sounds like it...

[Carlovfx]

@JOHNPAULCARMODY And D it is, good job and good voice man!

[ianac88]

@JOHNPAULCARMODY Its open Dm DADFAD good luck! Great job so far!

[murf5824]

i just saw some music that follows your playing to a "T" its in open D minor DADFAD. ive personally never used this tuning but it has a lot of great tone qualities that fit in with the old delta blues style. i never new how easy this could be to learn. i was trying to figure it out in standard and it just wasnt working for me. once again great post

[suttermasta3000]

@murf5824 i think its dadfad



[LedZeppelin1967]

@suttermasta3000 dadgad I believe

[jmagness705]

Very Good!!! You should be playing somewhere other than your bedroom. You're good. Best of Luck!!!

[melishusss]

i always get chills from this song but you gave me chills and then some!

[scaredypicker]

yes! I have been trying to find this song for ages, its one of those that gets stuck in your head and you can't shake it. Amazing rendition!

[imintoit]

Dude I hope you are making a living with music.

[MrSmooth32]

........hold on let me pick my jaw up off the floor

[moontheloon1127]

Skip would be proud brother

[amjdl47]

[pocawrestler]

[flyhead2]

Great cover, superb voice.

[JolietJakeBlues1981]

Nice one.

[thelisbonlions67]

Nice Job - very cool. I'm away to learn this as well.

Ryan

[12barsoul]

very nice cover!

[Mayat271]

that was very good. nice voice.

i luv that song. =]

[dlowrie290]

Let me just go ahead and say you have one of the best voices I have ever heard. Very soulful and very smooth. Good use of vibrato as well, not overdone like alot of other people do. You should be selling out shows if you aren't already. Keep it up.

[SmokinStubs]

Exactly, I have watched this video many times. Good stuff man. Smooth voice, and a little raspy when it needs to be. Its still a 5 star video all the way. Excellent work my friend.

[rawk911]

I believe he is playing it in Dm which is DADFAD.

[censtrom]

Nice job. Great voice. I'd love to learn to play that on the guitar. I've loved that piece ever since I heard it in "O Brother Where Art Thou" Do you think you could post another video teaching beginning guitar players how to play it?

[southernblood47]

honestly you've got the skills for the blues,

put up more blues songs man

[Habakkuksaid]

What a voice. Awesome

[firefly87]

great voice, reminds me a little of Paul Rodgers back in the Free days.

[JOHNPAULCARMODY]

That is so cool of you to say. Paul Rodgers is one of my favorite singers ever...

[firefly87]

Cool. It shines thru, in the good way!

[nazredime]

awesome !! good job!!

[doogie012]

Awesome cover man. Is your guitar tuned to Open Dm?

[funugger]

It's in DADGAD. Awesome song.

[jeredonabrane]

Actually, it is in DADFAD.

[cluelocker]

Great! Thanks

[fizshish117]

awesome voice

[starrchild99]

Well done. GREAT singing. Really good feel and nice playing too. Excellent.

You should get into the original too though...

[219moreno]

if you don't record CDs or aren't in a band, im going to lose all faith in the music business.

im an aspiring guitarist

:D

[BluezBro604]

[ziribai]

[vargskin666]

Nice cover Bro... real good!!

[ArcadianGirl]

This really moved me. I absolutly love this song and can't believe I've found a version of it on youtube which actually does it justice. Please do something with that amazing talent of yours, it's truely something special which can effect people.

[TheRealKestrel]

Well said.  I heartily agree.

[glaoud]

Your voice is very good for this blues.

I do not sing.

[TheSaffronBlonde9]

Beautiful. This song has always put me in a trance.

[dreww1469]

Probably my favorite cover of yours. John Paul, I think you should have another concert at mi casa, I'll have Malloyboy hit up your cell. For all the fans of JP, check out my videos of him. He does a mean "What's Going On" and "Moondance" cover

[Righteouss11]
