Damn EC pulls this off!!! You can't eff around with RJ's songs..either you go all in, or leave it alone. Some songs or songwriters you can't do half-ass...others being SRV and Jimi..
Honestly if clapton had a tour where he went out with just an acoustic guitar and played all of robert johnson's songs(maybe layla encore) I would be happy.
If you want to know the secret to Robert's guitar playing...... approach the guitar from a piano player's standpoint. R.J. did use various tunings for different songs, mostly open A tuning.
I learned it from this recordind- it's straight E-A-B. Regular tuning.At least on the CD it is. Really cool. The tab for Johnson is something else-it's wild-I tried it-it's involved-this is more fun. This took me a bit to REALLY get it down good like you hear it.
@gg23o standard tuning--you can get the cd "me and mr Johnson-you can learnthe tunes fromthat-I also learnd "Last fair deal gone down" -I know many others-that Ive been doing electricly for years-but I've always wanted to do johsons more undiscovered by the electric guitar ones.come into my kitchen Death letter blues-Someone else--Sun House I think--Texas Flood by the original artist Fenten Benton-larry Davis the orig. artists-you can hear where stevie got his licks from-

doesnt seem like they're having much fun... it's like a chore or sth. not very soulful, quite a pity.

yeah man. how i understand you. think this is because blues is more than notes. it's feeling, crying, pain.
