[evsynator]

Excellent lesson.... thanks for your time and effort to do this .

[hardtimeblues]

damn you're awesome

[frankhond]

@wimmiz To bring skin color into this is just plain silly. Each player brings his stuff to the table. Enjoy the music.

[bilhernia]

is this spoonful by Howlin wolf??

[my1name2]

@bilhernia Rev. Gary Davis

[SuperOlds88]

wow, I am amazed that while this guy is giving this great performance, all the people are so quiet, they must be like the crowds you see watching Mance and Lightnin, they look like they are all dead.

[TheGiekes]

The way he takes the A chord on the words 'spoonful', is jst like flamenco players take the a chord. the way he drags his thumb is also something that flamenco players do. maybe the reverend knew flamenco.

[88ragtime]

What did the Rev. NOT know?

[SweetNixx]

tuning???

[ramonjmc]

Good music!!

Muy buena música

[DayTripperLennon]

this is hard!

[maartenkh]

I really like this (being a guitar student) but Ernie does get pleased very much by his own playing

[dougfather]

There's no way a black guy would play this with so little soul.

[barba666ruiva]

true. this guys technique is superb, but he's got no feeling for the blues...

[barba666ruiva]

still, good lesson

[jcwitte]

Wow, what an ignorant comment.

[jezboe]

are you a moron? cant you tell hes giving a formal lesson not a performance?

[DayTripperLennon]

I agree with you jezboe, he's giving a lesson. This guy does play with feeling..trust!

[djmoore20041]

Listen to Rev. Gary Davis doing this and tell me what the freakin' difference is in the guitar playing. You are obviously one of these goobers who thinks only black people can play the blues. What shit!

[neacht]

Bril explanation of the Rev's style.

[empiremonkey]

OOOh. I am getting my guitar out of the case right now!

[kalihiwai2]

Christmas came early! Thanks for the present of this song lesson
