[GregBoernerMusic]

[triadblues]

[GregBoernerMusic]

Go for it! GB

Nice job GB. I watch this video a lot since I'm using it to tab out the song. I'm new to Freddie King's music, and I'm wondering what version you've covered here - or is it an original arrangement? I've seen a few of FK's videos and I haven't seen one where he plays the version you play here.

Anyway all the best and I hope success comes to you. I like your web site too but the music preview feature didn't work for me.

[GregBoernerMusic]

Thanks SR! It is my arrangement...but I'm not sure how original it is! When I played in bands I'm sure I did versions that sounded more like Freddy's and all the others. Now that I primarily do a solo thing it forces me to think outside a typical band scenario....sometimes you can get some pretty cool/unique arrangements that way! Thanks for watching....GB

[triadblues]

thanx for the insight on this song,

[GregBoernerMusic]

You're welcome...GB

[FretFumbler]

I tuned in sceptically wondering what you would do with this on acoustic- but you pulled it off GREAT *****

[GregBoernerMusic]

Thanks Fumbler...I appreciate you taking a chance...GB

[tubingtomtom]

DIG IT! I really dig it! Love your style of playing. Like home cooking compared to the fast food ive been hearing. GJ

[GregBoernerMusic]

Thanks TomTom...I really appreciate it...stay tuned! GB

Hello Greg,

I am happy to have stumbled across your channel. You have the mojo in your soul.

I've played this tune for many years and as far as I can tell, it looks like you have all of the verses.

[GregBoernerMusic]

Mark...thanks for checking out the videos...I still think I'm missing a verse or two but I'm too lazy to go listen and see for myself...typical Georgia boy, right?? GB

[pappoblues2008]

the best old blues with feeling , a real blues man!!!

[GregBoernerMusic]

Thanks Pappy...I don't claim to be a "bluesman" but I do love it as a foundation for what I'm trying to do....I appreciate the comment....GB

[bunkman64]

[GregBoernerMusic]

Thanks Bunkman....a friend of mine used to say about me, "Please don't tell the poor boy he's white, it'll break his heart." I'm doin' my best...thanks for watching...GB

This is definitely the best acoustic version of this song on YouTube.

[GregBoernerMusic]

I don't know, I've seen an Ethel Merman version that puts it to shame! Thanks Dan...GB
