I Ain't Got No Home

[wb7ptr]

You play beautifully. I heard you'er in Egypt. Stay safe, and stay at peace. I know it's hard these days but it's the only way.

[Necropedophile1985]

wow if i could play and sing as nice as you i could die a happy musician

[malakelhusseiny]

This cover is so much better than the original :)

i really enjoyed it.

[TheFolksinger]

@malakelhusseiny Thanks for the kind words, though if the original means Woody himself, I must demur: he had an unbeatable ability to sing a song without any affectation, so he always remains the best. Still, your encouragement is part of what keeps me going.

[exaltica]

wow one of the better versions I heard in a while

[TheFolksinger]

@exaltica Thanks for the endorsement.

[raytheprinter]

You are very good,I am enjoying your tunes!

[TheFolksinger]

@raytheprinter Good to hear from you in this encouraging way.

[raytheprinter]

WOW

[TheFolksinger]

@raytheprinter Thanks, friend.

[TheFolksinger]

@raytheprinter hope you are happy at whatever level you play and sing: that's how it should be.  Thanks for the compliment.

---Love---

[TheFolksinger]

@monkyhopeluis Thanks. It's appreciated.

[Stumblestrum]

Well I know this is blasphemy but I just listened to Woody's then Bruce Springsteen's versions of this song and I like yours even more. Great guitar and soulful voice.

[TheFolksinger]

Well, that makes my day. Thanks for the good feelings.

[baybo272]

That was great! Thanks.

[TheFolksinger]

You are most welcome! Thanks for the encouragement.

[dog2ofwar]

Absolutely great. Got that authentic dustbowl sound. Yeehaaarrr!! Itd be good to see your face as well.

[TheFolksinger]

Most people prefer seeing the guitar. But the face does appear on some other videos. Thanks for the interest in both.

Hi folksinger, I've got the open D tuning now, sounds nice. I like to play around with it and see what sounds good and where. Your video 'I ain't got no home' has shown me a few things. But the angle of the camera hides things too. Have you got a vid showing a straight on view so I can see more and get some of those chords that work up and down the fret board. Thanks if you have.. Thanks if you ain't. I like to checkout your choice of songs too.

[TheFolksinger]

Check my earlier Open D videos, like TheFolksinger's Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson in Open D, and Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Feet. Hope they help.

[Barnface1]

Hi, I'm just discovering the delights of this beautiful and soulful music and your vid is a great thing to watch and copy (may take a while). Great voice! ..and song. I read that it's open tuning in D? but not sure how this works, can you help? Barney

[TheFolksinger]

Check my earlier videos. One of them entitled Open D explains the tuning before I play the song One Guitar. Thanks for the comments.

[TheFolksinger]

the video is:

[Barnface1]

Thanks, I'll get right on it and let you know. Barney

[skyhighparker]

hey man this is your best song ive heard yet from......also your comments you seem to have quite a story to tell ever think about makin a video or two just to tell it

[TheFolksinger]

No, but thanks for the suggestion. I will think about it, indeed.

[daylightfolds]

awesome job!

[AbsurdBrane]

Love your music! Woody was a treasure. You make me pick up my guitar every time I listen!

and I love the shirt! Keep on Truckin' !

[TheFolksinger]

thanks for the encouragement. Shirt is an old favorite of mine that remains from my days in Nigeria.

[BeJi74]

Very nice indeed - open tuning in D?

[TheFolksinger]

Yes, much as in my earlier video explaining open D and singing "One Guitar"

[jakehadlee]

Fantastic voice, and a very good interpretation of this song. Not sure about the shirt though! ;-)

[TheFolksinger]

The Irish had a lot to do with that, as of course so many working people who came to America with big dreams, not all of which came true.

[treblechoir99]

Folk root, for me It's a sound in the wind, soul.

[theflashg0rd0nator]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos when they come out Mr Folksinger :)

[Weaseldog2001]

I think you're clear enough when we can see your face and the guitar.

Other folks may disagree.

[Weaseldog2001]

5 Stars, but please don't hide your face...

[TheFolksinger]

I'm guessing a majority would rather see the strings than my face. But after this, once in a while, I'll lean in a bit. Thanks for the stars, as that encourages an old guy like me.
