Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed

[lampens]

ok, thx, I'm gonna try this

[kickingmule]

@lampens OK, Good Luck !

[lampens]

What tuning is he playing this in? I can get some sort of thing with thumping the a string open and just fingering the melody notes and that sound on the second woohoho by just fretting the b note on the a string and strumming the open strings, but for the rest it isn't quite the same. The low e seems to be dropped down.

[kickingmule]

@lampens Sorry to say, I have no idea how the git is tuned, but as you say its a bit weird, cause I had the same feeling. The git is tuned very low, but I'll better ask my good friend Josh Kalmus in Chicago !

Thanks for the comment and listening !

Peace Bro !

Urban

[rabbodirect65]

@lampens I think its low to high DADFAD played with a constant bassline throughout

[kickingmule]

@rabbodirect65 Hi, are you sure ? I mean a DADF#AD, open D is more common !? Well, whatever, it sounds good ! I think !

Peace !

Urban

[rabbodirect65]

@kickingmule I just started trying to figure it out today but I was learning a skip james song in DADFAD and it seemed to just fit for this song. DADF#AD is a more common tuning especially for folk but I've seen a lotta songs in both DADFAD and DADGAD too

[kickingmule]

@rabbodirect65 OK, the mystery is solved ! I just love such comments, cause they learn me a lot !

Take Care Brother !

I agree, 100% : DADFAD !!!

[BlastyMcNasty]

So Sweet to my ears They are dancing on my head!!!

[kickingmule]

@BlastyMcNasty My good friend Josh Kalmus in Chicago, knows for sure, how to play this song !

Thanks for the comment and listening !

Peace Brother !

[odep954]

Im an atheist and even i like this,said it before but "kicking mule a name you can trust"

[kickingmule]

@odep954 What ever you believe in you always need the Blues and Gospel I think ? Or good music !

Much appreciated !

Peace Brother !

Urban, The Kicking Mule, who never kicks ( a friend )

[uwebde]

Urban , that is a Song full of Peace and Grace - Thx Brother.

[kickingmule]

@uwebde You are right Uwe ! Its an old Gospel played by one of my friends in Chicago, so if you wanna listen to it Live, go to Chicago !

Peace Brother !

Urban

[JigsyB]

Hi - this sounds good - but please note Willie Johnson was strictly religious and did not "play for the devil on Saturday" as suggested (his songs were all spiritual).

[kickingmule]

Thanks !

I know Willie Johnson played Gospel, but thougt he also played the Blues.

I mean, it's the Blues-sound.

You always learn something new, don't you !

Thanks for a good comment and listening !

Peace !

Urban
