I'm in shock. An impulsive immediate reaction this - and I have yet to hear your other BLJ vid's. I hesitate to say this - to my head - you have absolutely crucified this pearl of BLJ's. You appear to have lost the blues in your speeded-up gymnastic version of it. That elusive evocativeness of something long gone and lost which soaked everything BLJ did. Fine playing but, the blues is totally absent here.
Hope you read this comment as constructive criticism.
Briefly, as we could discuss this for hours : I don't believe in note for note renditions and always try to make a song my own, in which, apparantly in this case, I succeeded. No critisicm, positive or negative, will make me change my way of playing music; the way I feel it, that's the way I do it, I hardly think about it.
Too good! Flawless play, great vocals - best cover I've heard - I prefer this to the original by BLJ. Also stovepipe owes me 400.00 for a guitar. I smashed mine after hearing his superior technique...
One must bow. You sure are a hell of a good blues guitarist, daddystovepipe. What impeccable sense of feel & rhytm combined with fantastic tecniques. Carry on. Nice of you to share these fine blues interpretations/expressions of yours on YouTube.

good, i'm not a guy to make my own take on the masters. You should post up one dime blues, i think you could do that one well.
