Oh man, I remember what that was like, trying to complete a song while your offspring try to grab your nose and poke at your ears. They grow up quick. Nice rendition.

[Acelib]

I think those kids make it the best music video ever ! :)

[jukedaddy2007]

Great video Shane. I've been too aprehensive of posting my "stuff" on U tube but you make it look easy. Kids will never forget and always appreciate their special concerts.

[kenpaul4ebs]

[daddystovepipe]

lovely version - music and kids - an unbeatable combination !

[valupak]

hey, you and your little girls are great! I wish you many happy days(with very little sorrow).

[jamescharles999]

great stuff shane. We play this one often at jam sessions-even do the hillbilly walk thing that you see in the film. Thats normally where the musics stops cos we're laughing so much...

[LeilaniRocks]

Great. Loved this song in Oh Brother and this is a nice rendition...more fun with the family.

[rightsaidshane]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[rainaaa]

what are you playing when the verse starts-- the little fingerpicking.. i know it's an f-chord but i can't here it completely your voice is too loud..

[rightsaidshane]

Hi Rainer I sent you a message but I will comment here too. The way I play Man of constant sorrow is in a non standard tuning (DADGAD) the right hand picking is just a simple 3 note arpeggio from high string to low. Is that specific enough?

[noodlemac]

lol cute kids XD.awsem singing and playing guitar

[KrisShred]

Great song. I also played it on guitar last year. Maybe I will do it for YouTube again some day :D

[rightsaidshane]

awesome! I'll look forward to hearing it man.

[chirfu]

Nice work... I would like to be able to sing but my fingers don't like to cooperate on the fingerboard once my mouth opens.

Thanks for posting your version of this killer song!

[rightsaidshane]

haha I know what you mean about the playing and singing thing... I used to have the same problem! Glad you liked the tune :-)

[bentonio07]

AWESOME, I've loved this song ever since I saw the movie and this is really great!!!

[rightsaidshane]

Same with me... it gets stuck in my head sometimes!

[bentonio07]

*LOL* Hi rightsaidshane: I've watched this video quite a bit, but only now I saw that your daughter came over from behind the camera to tickle you: She probably thought she could raise the difficulty level even more. You've passed her test!!! :-)

[rightsaidshane]

Yeah, I'm certainly learning how to play with distractions!

[acousticbluestips]

Awsome!!

If I could have given it 10 stars I would have!

It's going in my favourites for sure.

Top work! 20 out of 10.

Blindboy

[rightsaidshane]

I was hoping you would like this one. There is a really great rendition of the tune by Dan Tyminski and Ron Block that I used as a reference. Compared to the Robert Johnson stuff I've been trying to play lately, this was really simple to learn!

[kokoro86]

I think the instrumental on that is just about spot on. I especially liked the banjo-esque bit befor the final verse starts...
