[hazor777]

What a trip! Youre from Croatia?!! I would've guessed Georgia........Georgia,USA! That strat sounds pretty damn close to a Duolian.......what type amp you using?Is pick up selector on bridge position?

[goldtop68]

Yes,Croatia,Europe...Not from US.That guitar was late 64,really fat and dark sounding guitar for a stra.Amp was some battery powered Epiphone that costs 50$.Bridge position.Honestly,I do not know how to play it anymore.I rockon I never played it after this recording,too lazy to tune the guitar to open E..it is a bitch with a strat. Glad you like it.Tomi

[PeazyG420]

i meant to add YOU FUCKING ROCK southern style for life bitcH!

[goldtop68]

I was 32 when this was recorded.Now I 'm 34..I suck,not rock

[PeazyG420]

[Darwins8n]

Great job, dude! Awesome slide and solid blues voice...

[1971SuperLead]

Vocals are star quality......guitar was alright

[camaysar222]

Nice job! I'll bet you like John Hammond Jr.

[thankyougermany]

So... I was watching the intro and thought "Well, this is a pretty good guitar cover..." Then you came in on the vocals and I was like, "WOW!" Great job, 5 stars.

[badbusa2]

Great job man!!

[dronai]

Really enjoyed that, great slide work and cool vocals..... give yourself some credit.

[wickaboo]

bro...great tune...sound great

[mnight207]

Dude, you're awesome!

[goldtop68]

Thanks..I really never thought so many youtubers would have loved this tune I ve done out of pure boredom on sunday afternoon

[goldtop68]

Thank you bro. I never played that song again after this recording.I don't play slde at all

[jsl209]

Wow man that was awesome slide work. I just started playing slide about 2 months ago, I noticed some robert johnson licks in there around 3:35 which I thought was a cool addition- keep it up man

[jsl209]

Is that lick from Robert Johnson's preachin blues? I've been trying to get it down, you do it flawlessly.

-Personal request, can you play derek trucks version of preachin' blues?

[tinchova]

una porqueria, dejate de joder, y todavia lo aplauden, no entienden nada...very bad

[donniegregghughie]

Excellent job, jeez this is mad good. I can't believe someone would cover this, a pretty rare song

[goldtop68]

Haha..thanks man.I am MAD :)) LOL

[batherbutt777]

great song.

put that slide on your ring finger for that true southern tone and control...

[combinatoric]

Love this song and your version is fantastic. Got you above-the-fold on the portal page of AmericanaWorks. If you're from Croatia it has to be the Southern part.

[goldtop68]

haha..im from north but my father is pure hilbilly haha

[MarshallAmpMan]

excellent! love to see you get a dobro...put in CD and place it on CD Baby...it'd sell!

great job!!

I loved this song when I was growing up. Somewhere along the line my "Brothers and Sisters" album got damaged. I tried finding it to download (or buy) without any success. Thanks a million for this great treat!

Great to hear a lesser-known album track. I believe this was the b-side to the Ramblin' Man 45. Playing and singing first-rate. OYu really nailed it. I'm g oing to see Dickey Bets tomorrow night in Albany - I'll bring my video camera!

[bluespower]

[jerryhayes07]

Perfect..you got soul bro.

[hamwinkie]

Nice playing. Who does your fret work? Those look like they are a bit wider than Fender wire. Thanks, Peace

[goldtop68]

tomi

[goldtop68]

Tomi

[LocoPCtheoneandonly]

I hear you been influened by the greatest of all times

Enjoyable experience keep posting I am a subscriber!!!!

[geardrivensteam]

Ahhh. That explains it, then. Wanna buy one?

[goldtop68]

No, I don't have enough space in my room+I m too cheap when acoustics are involved

[geardrivensteam]

Not bad. Pony Boy is an acoustic song, though.

[goldtop68]

Don't have one so it was an electric song

[RealTulac]

Svaka čast, ima nas i u hrvatskoj koji volimo ovakvu glazbu. :D

[mikeyaxeman]

Yeah this is what music is about great man!

[carloslinnett]

hehe you have a very good blues voice actually. nice slide action

[DangerousBastard]

Wow, it just gets better and better! Great playing, and your singing is very good too!

[Stumbleine689]

Can you make a video of just you talking?

[goldtop68]

So you can make fun of my Slavic accent or you think my singing aint that good ;-)

[Stumbleine689]

You are amazing, You gave me shivers. haha, very nice, never stop playing.

[goldtop68]

[goldtop68]

C'mon buddy

No one appreciates that kind of music anymore.

In my town most poeple call me poser and talk that I can't play for shit.

Thanks anyway mate!!

Tom

[stubbytate]

Well, I appreciate it :)

[kakaman321]

that sucks, in my town theres only three guys that are into real blues and southern music and im one of them, everone else around here either listens to hip hop or some other money making music.

cheers for keeping REAL music alive!

[rockytheharp]

kakaman321...your an idiot...and this guy can practice a turn out to be great ... but you'll still be an idiot ... unless you open you head and let the "Real Music " in ... Good Luck !

[justblues75]
