This Is the Best song EVER!!! I was hoping you would maybe slow it down so I can learn it??? I love finger picking I been at it awhile But the Blind Blake stuff is a little fast for me I'm more at the John Hurt speed right now anyway Cheers and keep picking it sounds GREAT!!!!!
Hey cocoringo, this is great man. Bigups! I guess i watched it about a hondred times now, and in the end i'm starting to get hold of it. But would it be possible for you maybe to write out what you do at 0:16 till 0:20 with the double thumbhit?
And what the heck are you singing? :) I can't find the lyrics anywhere. It would be great if you could write them down! Regards, Break.
interesting you mention sister rosetta- i've been listening to her a lot lately. will see if i can get an arrangement together, but i'm strapped for time right now (hence lack of recent posts). no cd out, hopefully next year sometime.
Really liked the sound - as if it had really been recorded in the 1920s. Also liked the way you went off in your own direction as you felt like it - just like Blind Blake would have done.
Cory, I see that you finally got the resonator you wanted. Nice guitar. I was the guy living in VA who was interested in your Tacoma parlor. I actually ended up getting a Guild F47 which I am very happy with. Thanks for taking my suggestion and posting "Too Tight Blues." My personal favorite of Blind Blake's.
do you work these out by ear / tablature / sheet music? I've discovered that once you figure out one blind blake song, he uses similar techniques in the next... but always seems to add another turn around which completely screws me up when i try and figure other songs of his. Your videos have helped me a lot, thanks.
my stuff is mainly ear, though i also pick up stuff from different players, and very occasionally use tab. i learned much of this song from a friend, then went back and filled in the gaps by listening to blake's version. none of my covers are note for note or anything like that. i'm not big into getting each version just like the original. i like taking the spirit of the song and putting my own inflections in it. hope that helps.
Holy cow! Sounds like there is about three of you playing!

You should make a tutorial, or at least a breakdown or the chords. I can't read sheet music, but I can figure it out if I know the chords.

You have a great sound and style!
I listen to this over and over again.
Would you make a video of you playing a Sister Rosetta Tharpe song? 99 1/2, or sitdown, or whatever moves you? Do You have a cd out?
