'C C Rider' - Mississippi John Hurt

[forcheryl]

You play nice, might try raising your voice a little on next ones,

@forcheryl Thanks! Yep, now I use a mic sometimes to get over the guitar's volume. It helps. <}:-)

Saw your Davis version of 'Funny that way'. Very good. I play Leadbelly on 12 string.

Who's other styles do you play? My favorite artist is Leroy Carr. I've adapted a number of his songs from piano to guitar. bweinerblues@yahoo.com

@bweinerblues Thanks. I will look you up some time soon. I have also played stuff by Mississippi John Hurt, Frank Stokes, Rev Gary Davis, Blind Boy Fuller - or something like it. <}:-)

[bweinerblues]

You've got that steady rhythm that MJH had. The song flows from that. Good work.

@bweinerblues Thank you <}:-)

thanx!

It sounds good, but would be better if you palm muted. I use just a thumbpick too and it helps separate out the bass. Seriously try recording yourself with it and I think you'll be surprised by the difference.

[thumbpickr1812]

nice idea - thanks!

[bradykendall]

Excellent!  I'd like to learn this song. I see the A an G but what is that D chord your are sliding down? Is it a D2? Thanks it advance for the help.

[thumbpickr1812]

It's a standard D (000232), then dropped one fret (000121) and then with the top E left open(000120). Hope this helps. If you have any problems I'll make another tape showing exactly how the whole song is played. Good luck!

Good playing!

Have you ever tried that same with bare fingers? It might sound smoother...

[thumbpickr1812]

Hi there! Been playing with a thumbpick too long to stop now. Would have to change my name! I like to get lots of strings resonating and that needs quite a firm attack. Thanks for your thoughts.
