*** Feelin' Bad Blues *** (the sound,the tone,the blues....)

[powergene1]

Really nice son , keep it up

[SeGaSaTuRn1994]

[robsonaraujo31]

standard tune? do you have the tab?

[batwing37]

Wow, fantastic job young man. Ry himself would have been proud.

[rockdfunk]

you did Ry justice right there

[nikos1995patra]

Great job my friend..! Best on yt... :) can you please send me the tab if you used one..? thnx in advance !!!

[jcbak]

Nice job, kid.

[boudewijnpleij]

the best YouTube version I think ;)

[Icequeenxxx]

Brilliant!!!

[yellowvespa04]

NAILED IT.

[The56strat]

you done just find,,,dont worrie about the clothes,the blues is from the soul,,not the eyes,,you have it,,no sweat

[RecordsGlasgow]

That's brilliant! Top work...

[LittleCeasar1]

Max, you absolutely nailed that tune dude!!!! 10 out of 10 man, please include the words "The Soul" in yr brackets. All the best..... oh, and go the blues cat in the background

[Locust1313]

If I could even play this song, I would have done some different things for the video. This is Blues. I'd throw that shirt in a 55 gallon drum and light it. Then put on some old bluesy poor man clothes, grab the guitar amp and camera and head over to some burned out shack by a field, open a bottle of whiskey, drink some then start playing this while thinking of love lost and life's misery. Filming would be in black and white or brown shade. Still good stuff.

[maximco1050]

@Locust1313 wow man I just wanna play blues, not making a huuuge movie. Blues is in the playing, not in the way to act. The soul is in the strings, not in the artefacts. Acting like a "poor man" won't give more soul but just more cheesy appearance. But thanks anyway.

[trickyricky591]

Lots of towns, lots of songs, lots of women

good times, bad times,

only thing I wanted anybody to say is..

he could realy play

he was good

[SeGaSaTuRn1994]

@trickyricky591 this here is lightning boy and im blind dog fulton :P

[DattaGroover]

Nicely done!

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

Please tell me waht amp and effects you used!! Such a great sound!!

[maximco1050]

@BlisterOnTheMoon cheap Vox valvetronix amp with the factory tremolo effect on it.

:-)

[jassrv]

that was AMAZING DUDE =O i thought i was watching Ry cooder =) this ones in my favs

[Capnmetro29]

Techinically very good, but lacking the emotion. Gotta feel the blues to play it true.

[buzzenald1]

Very nice playing! I remember reading an article in a guitar magazine many years ago, where Arlon Roth reckoned that it was him who played this tune in the film, and not Ry Cooder. He reckoned that Ry was supposed to play it but never turned up. Either way, it's a nice tune.

[kubanking]

Well done dude !

[Bighotblack]

猫に好かれるギタリストは大成する。　This is Japanese proverb.

[maddoxmag]

Awesome, loved it!

[Austacker]

Props man, you can play this song extremely well. Very damn good and very enjoyable.

Great work.

[Vanguard448]

Nice. Uncannily close to Ry's original tone and playing, simply outstanding.

[friedrichsued]

Very great!!

You really got the feelin'

[friedrichsued]

Great! The one single cover of this unique piece of music here on youtube!

You really got the feeling :)

[MirkoBjelica]

That was awesome man!!! The best cover so far!

[Tooks77]

*brother*

[Tooks77]

@kermit sorry mate you must be old guy if you cannot read text writing. It reads, bother that was awesome, what effects are you using? Sounds like wah-wah and delay and what gauge strings are you using?

[Vanguard448]

@Tooks77 'You must be old guy'? I think it's more like 'You must dislike the mutilation of the English language'. Unlike a mobile phone (it's understandable to use text speak when, well, texting), here you have a full, easily usable keyboard at your disposable so you have no excuse.

[deadheadman66]

@Vanguard448 hahaha @ at your disposable

[Vanguard448]

@deadheadman66 Yeah, I noticed that after I wrote the message and... er, well, sort of hoped that nobody else WOULD notice. That does sort of make my point moot somewhat, doesn't it?

[deadheadman66]

@Vanguard448 haha yea...didnt mean to be a dick about it, but i thought the contradiction deserved a good laugh! glad i didnt offend

[dlof7degneva]

E-P-I-C.

[fippysteed]

definatly the best cover of this on youtube IMO.

[Richard234]

Beautiful!

[Tooks77]

bro dat was awsome, wat effex r u uzn? sound lyk wah wah n delay. n wat gauge strings u uzn?

[Kermit1701nigerbawls]

@Tooks77 jesus christ, speak english.

[MICK10291]

awesome slide dude keep up the good work

[JolietJakeBlues1981]

Sweet man. I play this well but this is the best cover I've heard.

[REVSLOTH]

Very nicely done , bravo man.

[lighteningboy]

This is great, very nicely done!

[stargazer444]

damn that was a awesome 

[davetherave6724]

fantastic



[adsh83]

Fantistic effort mate. Slide on ring finger and you could play those bass note run ups a lot easier. Well done.

[MrTRHess]

[fyterx]

[bulabula09]

awesome sound dude! best one iv heard yet!! kEEP IT UP!

[Blues4Winter]

Good point about the tremlo. Dude U nailed it. I have been playing for almost 30 years and it may be the best take of someone other than Ry Cooder himself that I've heard.  Is this in open D tuning?

[stratovariusx100pre]

nice strat

[vantagestudios]

what kind of lap steel pickup? Who made it? What did you pull it out of?

[maximco1050]

supro valco pickup made my eastwood guitars.

[xxdigipiratexx]

Awesome tone man. Really good! Sounds just like in the film Crossroads...

[sylvia425]

Great job!! You GET IT!!  However, please re-film with better video quality.

[LeftyElmo]

Beautiful! All the other guys who've done this song on youtube, seem to forget the tremelo is essential to get the proper sound. You did this as well as the original!

[steve273]

u got a lovely sound there-well done and thank you

[sdenny]

excellent !

[rjd469]

dammit that was awesome, chills one minute, tears the next. if i could play, i'd play just like you.

[23tux]

Hell yeah, you're good man! (but better quality?)

And I like the cat in the back :-P

[davedundee]

This is THE Business, hell I gotta re-learn this, please re shoot in better quality !!!!!

[RemoVegas]

Dude Come On. - Give Us ALL A TREAT Shoot This Video Again So We can WATCH YOU...

[snaskc]

[superflytnt1000]

[Marc329]

I felt it. Ry would be proud. Could you please re do this song with a much better camera and a tighter shot so we could see what you're doing. Loved it. Thx.

[supertigger52]

made me feel the same as the original. spot on dude!!!

[in2alot]

Best on the Tube!

Beautiful tone and pitch!

[metebelis]

really good - i will need to learn that now

[Regnav1]

THE BEST I've heard on Tube, period

[PowderFunky]

Beautiful! So close to Ry Cooder's version, best I've heard on YouTube.

[MrLovinmusic]

You got it dude! Keep on rocking, you sound awesome.

[c0no]

Bad playing, great video quality

[kevinr0000]

Wow, best i have ever heard! What part of the US U hail from? Might have a proposition for you. KevMan

[kevinr0000]

WELL DONE BEST EVR!

[trentswy]

good job

[limbabeansix]

i agree with the guy below me you are spot on dude, is there any information you can give to the unexperienced as to how to get into slide blues, and more importantly how the hell to learn how to play this song, i'm obsessed with it

[wmaddentx]

First you have to tune your guitar to open D. Then look at a good tab and practice like crazy.

[alcastone56]

damn brother...best version (besides rye) i've ever heard!

[j9likesmusic]

it gave me chills, so it's good playin

[rea6per6]

AWESOME dude

[marklarian]

whoa..*perfect* tone! Amazing! It sounds exactly like it..very nice feel on the slide. Excellent job! What kind of pickup is that? Did you just install it in the neck position and did you make any changes to your string height?
