Drunken Hearted Man: "depressing even for the blues" guitar

[GRANDTOURBUSTA]

wow compared to your other vid this is the real deal and i rarely say that because i belive blues has gone 2 ways one being music and the other being the true legendary soul side! you my friend are on the soul side but not to be mean ill rate the emotion 8.7-9.3/10 still very very good seeing few good blues man like you keeping the true thing alive

[KILLTHIS]

Very nice. You're really good  - and in my opinion you remind me somehow on Johnny Cash.

[socialinsecurity3]

i am liking this bro.

[celtseamus]

oh yeah

[blakimcg]

a fine piece of work

[rangerocker]

love itt..

[BadmanRecords]

respect

[JohnWayneGacy69]

great song.... may want to clean up ur playing a bit, in some parts, but other than that amazing :)

[igvu92]

leave the blues for black people to play. stick to your country shit and shut the fuck up

[GuitaristInProgress]

God, I *LOVE* the internet! It gives everybody an equal voice, from the most brilliant genius... to the very most hopelessly stupid.

[Ringei144]

@igvu92 you ignorant fuck, get off the internet.

[ShalomYal]

@igvu92 This is authentic as the Blues gets - are you really racist? I'm sorry to say but the blues has mostly been in the hands of white artists for the past 40 years.

[NAZGELL]

@igvu92 Thankfully not all people are ignorant twats! There are many 'non white Europeans' playing classical music of BACH, BEETHOVEN, MOZART etc to a very high level(The lead violinist at the London Opera House was for many years a black guy). Does anyone ever tell them to leave this music for whites? NO! And if they did they should be treated with the contempt you deserve.

[latenightcreep18]

you got the mojo hand

[1doyoureadme]

respect from bottom my heart, beutiful voice,playing,, thats the blues and i love it

[classicalsteve48]

this is exactly what i was in the mood for. great song.

[dafreshyfreshy]

fuckin love this guy this is waht blues is alll about

[GuitaristInProgress]

thanks, man.

[glw1967]

Great version! Only half worth if you only listen to it, you must SEE the man playing, too! How delicious would that sound on a Dobro?!

[GuitaristInProgress]

Dude I wish. The funny thing is I've gone shopping for a dobro twice, and always walked out of the store with something else that I hadn't planned to buy - the first time a mandolin, the second a Simon & Patrick acoustic. Thanks for the kudos!

[iluvsatan66]

dude i lik metal but this sounds really good

[GuitaristInProgress]

Don't know how I missed this way back when you posted it, but, thanks, man!

[SirDuncan1]

Very Heartfelt! Great vid

[GuitaristInProgress]

Thanks very much, man. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with this one.

[GuitaristInProgress]

Yeah, sorry, man. I don't have a tripod or anything, so the framing is hit or miss... sometimes I get the best take before I've got my camera placement right. There's other videos on my channel where you can see my hands, better, though.

[carnicerodeperros]

good fucking deal nice rendention u fucking looked pissed when u started true emotions while playing will increase the effect of the artists and will touch more ppl than here u got soul man... cant wait to hear u when ur in better spirits

[GuitaristInProgress]

Yeah, I was in a bad mood that morning... but I've got a backlog of stuff to post, should have some good stuff up, hopefully within the next few weeks.

[quinoacat]

Good job. Time to go spike my system with some natural precursors to make neurotransmitters so my brain can recover from the 'depression' set in by this rendition, lol. ("I aint' got no more Prozac" might make a good alternate title?)

[GuitaristInProgress]

I'm partial to enteric-coated 5-HTP myself. You should hear my playing when I *haven't* been taking it.

[quinoacat]

You knew what I was talking about exactly. I gotta get me some when I gets paid so I can do a song called 'just got paid today, got me a pocket full of 5-HTP', lol...

[mitch31960]

definately a nice feel to this one

hey get out there

regards from blue mts nsw

[GuitaristInProgress]

Thanks, man. You gotta forgive my lack of knowledge of geography... I'm a product of the american school system... NSW is Australia, right? Anyway, thanks for commenting & regards back from San Francisco!

[jimpcn]

Ya, that's the real deal.

I'd like to hear more!

[GuitaristInProgress]

Thanks man - I'll send you a friend request so you get a bulletin when I post new stuff (hopefully within the next few weeks.)

[jimpcn]

thanks.

[corbinfootball]

[GuitaristInProgress]

Thanks - get me a recording contract, and I'll be happy to! ;-)

Thanks for listening.

[al0102030405]

I like your stuff.You do things your own way, that's what the Blues is about.

[Freistatt]

uuuh man.....what a feeling. It`s time to play it on stage. Greetings from germany !

[GuitaristInProgress]

Hi back! Thanks for the nice comments man... yeah, one of these days I'll get back out in front of an audience. Been a while, gotta work up the nerve.

[michaelvandromme]

top notch bending dude,keep it up!

[GuitaristInProgress]

Hey, thanks a lot, man...will do! :-)

[Freistatt]

Hey man.... It`s a tribute to Rory Gallagher.. he is still alive.

Greetings from germany

[hennepie]

Youve definitaly got the feeling bro.Great tune..

[GuitaristInProgress]

Thanks for commenting... glad you liked it!

[yowereHannaH]

Ha, this is pretty tight.

Hey, I know almost no blues artists but I've been digging the sound for a long time. Think you can recommend me some good stuff. I can by this song you got taste.

[GuitaristInProgress]

Robert Johnson is a must, he's the delta blues OG, and he only recorded 29 songs in his entire career so there's not a lot to track down. The album "The Swarthmore Concert" by Lightin' Hopkins was a huge influence on me. "Hard Again" by Muddy Waters is harder-edged electric blues but it's pretty great. I also really like Blind Blake, although I guess he's more ragtime than blues. And, of course, whatever John Lee Hooker you can get your hands on.

[adminmsn548]

Hi I love Robert Johnson ! could you send me the chords ???

[GuitaristInProgress]

Well, my version is not the best to learn from since I don't really play clean chords, and tend to push the chord changes around & play them a little earlier or later than I should sometimes, but here's the basic changes as I do them here:

[G] Well I'm a drunken hearted man [C] My life [G] seem so misery

Well I'm a [C]drunken hearted man, my life seems[g] so misery

[D] If I could change my way of living

[C] It would mean so [G]much to me

[G] [D]

etc.

[Hazuki1983]

This is great! Saves to favorites! Keep on making good videos! You are really talented!

[GuitaristInProgress]

You know, after 20 years of sitting around my bedroom playing guitar for myself, I can't tell you how nice it is when people say things like this. THANKS

[grindamadurin]

man, this sounds great,so full of feeling, pure blues man, two thumbs up

[GuitaristInProgress]

Hey, thanks, man, that's always good to hear.

[coreyrobertson]

What the fuck! 33 views! This is bullshit, we got videos with no value on the front page of YouTube that get 100's of thousands of views, while quality videos like this get passed over. This is incredible stuff man, I'm subscribing.

[GuitaristInProgress]

WOW, man, you could seriously make a guy's morning, saying things like that. What can I say - glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot, man. You 've got some sweet playing over on your channel, too... the left-handed strat player is a hallowed tradition to uphold.

[GuitaristInProgress]

You know what's crazy, too, man, is my least favorite of the handful of videos I've posted gets twice as many views as any of the others. Can't figure it out.

[GuitaristInProgress]

Funny how sometimes the worse you feel the better you can play. Not that I'd encourage anyone to go out there and try to feel bad or something. Just, you know, when you, that's how it sometimes works.

[rightsaidshane]

great feeling
