I'm Satisfied (Traditional)

[kordabridge]

Is that a yairi alvarez DY-85 in the background? Love the yairis. Excellent guitars. I also have a 1966 D-18 although not in as good a conditon as your 00-18. Your songs are all well done. Appreciate the instruction. Thanks for posting.

[under951]

"I'm Satisfied " me too for listening this, just amazing..

[GDguitarplayer]

Wow! I just learned this from watching you and listening to J.Hurts "complete Studio Recordings". You do a wonderful job and put a lot of feeling and soul into it. Thanks!

[MrSouthpaw55]

lovely authentic sound you are obviously very experienced.I have a version which is not so accurate and would value your comment.Thanks!

[wendellpeek]

What a great job! I love it...I could listen to this all day....5 *****

[BobDaniel56]

I love the tone you get from this old Martin! The 00 size has a lot of soul.

[paxweb17]

Thanks John...Love it .

[paxweb17]

Brilliant....is this style known as "cotton pickin"?

[sosauto]

Yes - the name probably came from the delta blues style of Elizabeth Cotton.

-john

[kermitkev]

i love this song. you play it very well. i like your style.

[apostleds]

Well done.

Brother Don

[fjsimpkins]

i love you! and i know my husband would love to meet you. =)

[bigd522524]

looking at comments and LOL, tooo funny!

[moonstomper13]

are you even wearing pants in this video!? lol

[caveman441]

John you are good. Do you give lessons?

[sosauto]

I thought that's what I'm doing - :)

-john

[denandy]

very amazing

[radecal]

Hey love your style and love your Guitars. I keep comming back to you.

[llamov]

Hey man, none of these youngsters get the joke. I guess you have to be over 60.

[Phayish]

You're wearing pants right?

[louisvillejohn]

LMAO

[denandy]

rofl

[neatfreeek]

mississippi john is great, i love his sound, good stuff and make sure those birds dont get to crazy in you back yard or you will have a poop everywhere, hahha

[michellev222]

I come back to your videos again and again. What a player, and what a voice - it reminds me a little of Johnny Cash. Anyway, I sure do hope you put some more of your great playing on youtube. You are as always such an inspiration!! Thank you!

[gutplucker]

this is one of my favourite songs from way back.. very nicely played!

[dovecott]

Just top draw, thankyou..

[XxmissprobbxX]

your amazing!! wow x

[XxmissprobbxX]

your amazing!! wow x

[XxmissprobbxX]

your amazing!! wow x

[vet393]

Thats great!! Looks just like my '54 00-18

[jjm1965]

If I could play half as good as this I'd be happy. I'm a fan.

[phatd321]

How did you learn this?? I can't find tabs anywhere for this song. And all the detailed fingerpicking hammerons and pulloffs are too hard for me to pick up just by watching and listening... I'll keep trying.

[sosauto]

I picked it up by ear from listening (a few thousand times :) to Mississippi John's recording on the Vangard label.

-john

[JesseGuitar07]

really sounds nice. 5/5 from me !

[Tubee2TOO]

I`m satisfied! Tickled too...

Great job1

[GeorgieBoy456]

im a 15 year old mississippi john hurt apprentice, thanks for this

[bornfedslaughter]

what do you mean? how you apprentice a dead man?

[bopbopbobert]

Very bice version of this tune, Thanks

[rkkchew]

John, that my luck to discover fingerpikcing on

a accostic still guitar.

Did you use martin strings, what guage size ?

and do you use a thumb pick. and what style is

this - travis, chet atkins or your very own style ?

I'm kind of learning all these little things from you. Thanks.

[jessupar]

If it werent for you, i'd never have bothered learning any MJH songs. thanks man! really, thanks!

[llamov]

Nice rendition of a John Hurt arrangement. Is that a Martin 0018? I know you also play a Yairi dred. I play one too and they're wonderful, but I'm looking for a smaller axe for fingerpicking.

[JerOniemOes]

Awsome, I'm 14, alsmost 15 now and I play for about 9 yeras guitar now.. Hope I would be just like you so I can play for my grandchildren or something.. Go on, I love your guitar playing!

[sunbeams7]

your grand kids are gonna be so proud!!

[chrisgarvi]

You're a great man

[4eznap]

Great playing I have subscribed to yourtube and hey don't worry about the shorts, the hat or your work clothes (pager included)...we love the music!

[tobair123]

that was really good , a bit of a johnny cash voice there ,good luck ,

[soniameh]

Hello,

Amazing playing Thanks for sharing your beautifull music with us :)

Regards,

Himanshu

[sosauto]

Hi Himanshu,

Same to you sir. Your playing is wonderful.

-john

[maxbis]

This is just honest and nice music, with- or without pants.

[beachdiver]

He's more satisfied without pants. Anyway, as always your music is good, lol.

[user192021]

Very well done.  I enjoyed it. But please, for your next video, PUT ON SOME PANTS!

[biglexy12]

Don't you dare put any pants on you maverick renegade rebel you!

[sosauto]

This is supposed to be about my music..not my shorts - hahahah.

-john

[jessupar]

i love the song, but i just cant watch it. put on some damn pants!

[chrshammer]

Do you know any real good Johnny Horton songs like I Don't Like I Did or Tell My Baby I Love Her or something like that?

[wjwmusician]

You've got a great style of playing,and I really enjoy your stuff, especially the John Hurt songs and Piedmont-style playing..BTW, Alice's Restaraunt sounds like it was influenced heavily by Gary Davis. Of course I didn't know who Gary Davis was until a few years ago, but oh well, I'm rambling. Thanks for the great stuff!

[GipsyGunnette]

Very good! I feel like I'm flying away to South America. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[handsonvideo]

Super! I have a little ESL school in Japan and was wondering if you have some songs for little guys in your in your soul that are aching to get out?

[katerina5k]

I enjoy your playing so much. It really inspires me to pick up the guitar (nearly) every day. I would love to hear your version of Railroad Bill some time (OK, that was a thinly disguised request!)

[BK77677]

Excellent. Your playing is impeccable. Great work!

[tymjar]

That has ALL the nuance of MLH. VERY enjoyable

[tymjar]

Your keepin' the music alive. Well done

[BADHTML]

BRAVO! I can't express in words how much I enjoy listening to you play!  I wish I could play like that! Please keep'em coming, and thank you for sharing your gift with us!

[homemdesaia]

We can get... satisfaction!

Claps from Rio, Brazil.

[JimVasiloff]

That's excellent.

[sosauto]

Dear viewers and subscribers,

YouTube is currently experiencing technical problems with the message system, so I am posting this on all my videos. If you have subscribed, thank you very much. I'm sure YouTube's staff is doing everything possible to fix the problem.

-john

[perfectmoment]

Good Blues. Weren't you the same guy who was playing that Cat Stevens song on another video? Well, you inspired me to learn "satisfied"!

[alexargentino]

that was wonderful sosauto!!

claps from argentina!

[darrylmas]

Allison Krauss sings "When you say nothing at all", I would love to hear you play that song

[late0909]

That's really cool and lightened up my day!

[GrammaMe]

John, I'd love to see/hear some banjo pickin'. Can't imagine how good that would be if you're 1/10th as good on the banjo!

[sosauto]

Your comments are as inspiring to me as my playing is to you :)

john

[ratfinkpunk]

Once again Sir, you show us how the guitar should be played! Thank you!Your videos are so inspiring.

[sosauto]

Thanks...but if not for YouTube not many would ever have heard it. Thanks YouTube :)

[kurbsyde]

This almost reminds me of the Uncle Charlie & Teddy album by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song breaks. I almost sit and wait for "I knew a man Bojagles, and he'd dance for you". I just love this real down home deep hearted sound. I still sometimes tear up when I hear "The dog up and dyed", but then I put on House at Pooh Corner, and Im happy again. Real music comes from the heart not the bank. Play on

[freepatriot]

I could listen to you play all day, sir. Stay well.

[myguitarstyle]

great pickin', but it looks like you're only wearing a shirt in this video! haha.

[sosauto]

well...can't play...gotta have some gimmick - hehe

[JFKToday]

Not at the end it dont heh

[etnies7797]

wow that was great!what kind of guitars are they in the back

[maccalennonstarr]

FANTASTIC. You're a great guitarist.

[sombodyorother]

Glad to see you've got a new video up. Terrific as usual. Question: did you actually start by playing classical? Looks like you have a mix of classical and traditional finger picking (bar instead of thumb fret, hold it classical, but put a finger on the box for stability).

[sosauto]

Actually, i picked up the use of the stabilizing right hand pinky from watching Chet. Later, I found that's fine for electric but touching the top of an acoustic seriously dampens the sound. I lift the finger when I need the treble strings to ring.

[acousticengineer]

These videos are just great - you're a bit of an inspiration you know! Cheers!

[sosauto]

Thanks :) - there is no higher compliment.

[NSB100]

Sosauto made it again :D.

[thomasclan]

I've just come across your videos - you've got a great sound there - picking and vocals - keep them coming!

PS: I'm also jealous of that guitar collection.

[sosauto]

Thanks Oswald79,

That's just how I learned - watching and listening to Chet Atkins and James Taylor. Back in July some YouTube staffer in a moment of failed wisdom (hehe)featured the 'This-n-That' video so many viewers got to see it. I have more guitars but I need to get a few more guitar stands to get em all in the picture. :)

My wife says come and listen all you want.

john

[Oswald79]

Great job as always. I've gotta tell you as a guitar player, it was your This-n-That video (Windy and Warm in particular) that inspired me to focus more on my finger picking. I also used your video to teach myself how to play it, although I don't play it nearly as well as you. I can only think what a pleasure it must be for anyone lucky enough to sit and listen to you play live. Keep up the great work.

PS: I'm also extremely jealous of your guitar collection.

[bluephil]

Hi John....Very nice playing...Cool singing too ! I love playing MJH...Cheers from France. Phil.

[sosauto]

Thanks Phil - watched your vids - you're not too bad yourself :)

[Aikoe]

I'm just suprised you can do all that and keep a decent tempo

[Brad1711]

Another superb song! Keep em coming!

[dahbeans]

i love watching you play

[sosauto]

[sosauto]

[deppmann]

Wow! Really enjoyed that! Nice to see you back.

[HurtlockerTwo]

Little Martha please, please, please!!!!

[demohr777]

Very nice. We need to get some locals to mic you up better - especially your voice. You are like a fine wine - better with age because of the fuller expression that comes with it. I appreciate your apparent clean living, humility, and love for life. - Don Mohr, Sherman Oaks, CA

[SickForTheCure]

great song, very nice

[vinhdiesel]

Great job again. I was hoping you'd put up another one, I can't wait for the next one!

Fantastic, hopefully myself and the YouTube community won't have to wait so long for the next one eh!? Looking forward to more of your inspirational playing, hopefully one day I can fingerpick with such grace and ease!

[HurtlockerTwo]

The best guitar on Youtube, without a doubt!!

[JFKToday]

Like what was said before, Glad your still posting, your YouTube LEGEND..

[kenrg]

Beautiful picking - - Longer clips, please!

[Tahllulah]

Great to see you John. Another beautiful song. I'm like SonofKain, let the end ring a little.

"My but people come and go so quickly here." Dorothy Gayle - Wizard of Oz ;0)

[AndanteLargo]

John! WOW! Yet another hit! I really, really love you music. Thank you.

Peo

[TheHappyCynic]

This style of fingerpicking just drives me insane with JOY! Sheer joy! Im a long time Doc Watson fan and its great to see your vids Sir. Look forward to them always.

[PsychoMantis87]

I've been playing guitar for three years now. I'm getting pretty good but I don't think I'll ever be as good as you. Keep making these great videos man. They're fun to listen to.

[purplemoment]

OMg...

*muah

[SonofKain]

i love your guitar playing, i wish you'd let the end ring out a lil more tho

[bendawndavis]

I love this video, this is exactly why I subscribe to your videos.  Beautifully done and you are one of the best I have ever heard. Keep it up.

[darksilence357]

I LOVE IT! You are wonderfully entertaining. Please keep sharing your music with us! I wait for every song! Thanks!

[intracoast]

Your voice sounds a lot like Doc Watson. The guitar playing is reminiscient of him also, but that is a taller order. Enjoyed the video, keep up the good work

[SSharkk]

John, what are those two guitars behind you? More magic instruments?

[sosauto]

Hi SSharkk

Far left - Yairi DY-90. Classical is 1974 Hernandis. Both have the kind of action and tone I like.

[sosauto]

Can't play...gotta have some gimmick - hehe

[kenabate]

Way to go, John. I love your vids. I'm in my fifties and hadn't touched my guitar in ten years. You inspired me to pick it back up. Thanks, kenabate

[dragonarmy86]

I've been waiting for another great song from you

[geezerart]

Great song but I thought you lost your pants there for a minute! lol
