[MikeSavageguitars]

Thank you for sharing this. I couldn't fathom how to play from the other postings but thanks to you I am well on the way.

Long live the blues!!!!!!!!

[GilhamBob]

I took up guitar on becoming a dad at 48, 2 years ago, so my son would have music around as he grew up. I've been teaching myself finger picking and devouring all the examples I can find,. I have become an instant big fan of your playing, I think because it is absolutely in the slot, yet so full of uniqueness and personality. You've shown me where to go next; and that is to play my covers but make them mine and to have as much fun as I can doing it. Thanks so much for that.

[sosauto]

Thanks so much for your comment. I don't have the words to tell you how much it means to me.

Nice Alvarez. I love the D45 look.

[guanaco1700]

That guitar rules!

[thedirtydeltas]

Do you have tab i really love this song and disperately wish to learn it!!

[tekkenjam]

watch his fingers and emulate and use your ear. you will get MUCH farther that way.

[thedirtydeltas]

well yeah i can do all that but that too i want the tab i find it faster

[bornfedslaughter]

you'll play it better if you learn it by ear, than by tab, and also you need to start ear training anyways.

[thedirtydeltas]

yeah man I agree, I work through ear training and intervals and the like, its all part of my course,cheers of the good advice though

[kjl1963]

John, I love watching you play. You are so good and play with such ease. Do you do gig for your locals? I would like to see more!!

[roadmilker]

Just like uncle Nate

[jherr5150]

That was amazing!

[JoeBobOneHalf]

Wow, right on. Subscribed

[JoeBobOneHalf]

Let me elaborate. As a child I used to hate music until I got a hold of a Cassette Tape with this and Two other artists (Blind Lemon Jefferson and one other I've forgotten by now.) I've been in love with music ever since, but my first love has always been the blues.

[procyoncmi]

Blind Lemon... great first listen you had there. I grew up on Slipknot and Limp Bizkit.

[oodlesmoran]

awesome amazing what else can i say about this guy....

[civilwheels]

Yeehaw

[BaT141150]

Nice, stay up .

[procyoncmi]

Very interesting guitar. It's got a great twangyness to it, really suitable for this style of music. You kindly shared with me a little about your D18, but what's the story on this axe? Thanks for the great music!

[frizztext]

so great - are there any tabs available?

[sosauto]

This is my own 'by ear' version of CandyMan. There may be tabs for the original somewhere.

-john

[frizztext]

thanks sosauto,

I have to look at your fingers - someone has filmed that very clear :-)

[stevewanda]

Loved it. Nice sound. More More please

[muddyguitar]

Nice Job!

[MuNkYBizNess]

Wow that was truly excellent, please do more stuff by Mississippi John.

[Coolmanzilla]

you need to get yourself a Fitzgerald Guitar!

[sosauto]

Why do I get the feeling you sell Fitzgerald Guitars?

-john

[jessupar]

Damn, that is a good version of it. I can figure it out from here, but I can never tell tunings. It sounded like an open D, maybe E to me, but i could be wrong. Anyways, can you post your tunings in vid descriptions? It would help me greatly.

Thanks.

[contemaxts]

NICE ONEEE!!

[jonfitforbattle]

Wow, great tune, great playing. I'm going to try to learn this song... it's gonna take me awhile... a long while, but I'm gonna try. haha

[Alexizephyrmage9]

great playing but the guitar doesnt sound very good, has no resonance and notes sound almost muted

[LedZep650]

Have you no taste for a nice guitar?

[JamesTurnerMusic]

You are an amzing inspiration, i always watch all your videos in one sitting, can't only see one. I really wish i had nice guitars like you tho, hehe.

[sunbeams7]

Impressive ,bloke, watched Stephan Grossman play this last month, but you, like me, are cursed with the small hands, the aposable thumb, we can only dream of, barre chords are all we can manage

[bigbadj1969]

[leeburden2000]

Great.

[guitardan102938]

Excellent! Love the tune and play it myself.. please check out the video.

[ptunya]

I love the way you play it, you've got a great style! He played it differently in each recording I've heard. Always a different key, speed, composition, or different lyrics, or something. :)

[ptunya]

Nice job! One of my favorites. I just put my version up, you should let me know what you think if you have a minute.

[ItalianDC]

outstanding work.

[tymjar]

This performance is nice and relaxed, not unlike like MJH himself ...his music lives on!

Dancing cats A cat went here and there The moon spun happily like a top The cat Looked up For,the pale light high above in the vault of the sky troubled her blood Lifting her delicate feet She wandered n wailed Do you dance?
