[Urankar3]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!*****5­+

[falconer333]

Yes mate!

[irishsetterarchie]

Great Singing and Playing....thanks!!

[Nattflygaren]

It isn´t that feverish intense feeling from the real Robert Johnson playing, but it is a very good imitation!

The singing hits the high notes, the guitar-playing is effective - it works.

The result is quite impressing for me, a guitar-playing swede who drinks all day long and never yet ´ve learned a Robert Johnson-Song!

(Joking a little bit)

It´s better than good!

[2Ursos1]

OMFG!! thats brilliant!

[ConriDubhghail]

Damn....just GOD-DAMN. I've never heard a more faithful cover of Mr. Johnson. I spent five minutes trying to type an adequate compliment\"thank-you note" but I simply can't find the right words. Needless to say (but I'll type it anyways), you have earned yourself a subscription.

[onkelbuke]

wow, respeckt!



[inkydoug]

capturing the feel of R.J. is remarkable,to say the least.thank you for this sir.

[beazyblack1]

if my grandfather rj was still alive he probly would cry

[sportsandhardrock]

so nice !!!!!

[Groove1993]

i gotta say, you rearrly have your MOJO workin :D:D

[oreo4261]

dude you sound just like RJ. well done

[amberfwn]

Robert's gone but not forgotten.

[nelson85b]

mon tae fuck songhooks.. everyone has had the blues at some point....

[franckjflores]

Man, you are incredible! God bless your heart for that performance!

[SongHooks1993]

well as any stubborn bluesmaaster would say you dont play the blues until you feel the blues, so let me ask you a question littleblueboy75 have you had the blues and if so whats your hardest times?

[stangrrrr]

dude c'mon post a lesson on this one.  fucking awesome playing. just got done listening to the original and decided to see how it was played and you were the first click.

[Schlappinski]

Oh man ... ich wish i can play this like you

Robert Johnson rest in peace !

[EvFIFA]

to play the song is not hard, but you really make blues atmosphere! and not everyone can do this!!!

[yerdadnyermam]

not bad for a southerner

[sukomoki]

It's good, but you voice sounds too young. Be 20 years older and you wanna be the new robert johnson, even if you white.

[schram21891]

great

[giusedainese]

amazing mannnnnnnnn

[aaronsg71]

Very nicely done

[cousinneal]

[TyceeTv]

I'm glad i did not existed at that time since i'm black but lol love the blues

[TheExplodingPumpkin]

Omg you voice is awesome you should send a demo to a music company

[garydupuis]

Great job! This was one of the first blues songs I ever learned on acoustic and it is still a staple of my own live shows...

[Landliebelexikon]

Great voice. Why aren't you famous?^^

[TheZimmy84]

@Landliebelexikon hes not famous cuz people would rather listen to crap called justin beiber and jessica simpson and all that crap no ones cares about us blues players anymore sadly. seems like we are in a blues drepression now adays. i thank eric clapton and john mayer for keepin it going.

[Newenlightenmentnow]

Wow.  I'm also from Chicago originally. You made me feel homesick ;). Very nicely played!

[Ancillo]

good sound! bravo

[johnrfeeney]

outstanding - great great voice

did the song wellllllll!!!!

[markd3570]

Wonderful. I'm an official Chicagoan too. Born there 40 years ago, and live in the far suburbs now, and I think that you have this song nailed! You're as talented as Chicago/Cook County politicians are corrupt, and belive me, that's a major compliment.

[MrRcgomes]

you got the blues littleboy!!!

[JoiSigo]

killer voice

[BayesianMan]

Very nice. I've been having a hard time myself picking up RJ's style, but you seem to have nailed it.

[stephen25uk]

I like the way you stick to the original and best RJ arrangement, and you do it really well.

[sticksndrums21]

Great job brother keep playing those blues

[ruhfus1]

Hey LittleBoyBlue du bist der kleine Bruder von Robert, super das es solche Leute wie Dich gibt! Keep on the Blues...............

best regards from Vienna

[garydupuis]

Great job, man! You definitely captured the vibe! Robert Johnson was the first bluesman I became fanatical about when I got into the blues and I appreciate your interpretation of this song!!

[gerilando]

[05rransome]

[450Slash]

This is brilliant, Well Done!

Are the tabs on the internet ?

[jsilence418]

Just what the world needs another white whining cover of a Robert Johnson song. !

[goodfellow1951]

Excellent job

[kennykins420]

its good to see people still appreciate good music

[Rotzloeffi]

MAN this is authentic! If that good old music was still demanded in the media today, you would rock the shit!

I'm so very impressed. Great job.

[JoiSigo]

serious pipes you've got too, i have to agree with the quality of the video though, rather bad, still could make out that you're playing a Guild guitar and a few of the chords, keep up the great job your doing

[JoiSigo]

got the blues for real, keep it up ;) more than well done

[tummybed168]

excellent!!!,now you have a fan in Peru.

[williamwilson666]

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this from the introduction and video quality- but this was really excellent!

[RunningBearStudios]

I wish you would do a better quality of vid so we can see your fingering. Very cool. Nice nuances too. Peace.RBS

[lucianopinhata]

teach me =D

[hvrock13]

oh now this is music. i may only be 17 but i know how great this is. great vocals man. im amazed.

[Groove1993]

@hvrock13 im 17 too, and i have the same feelings about that :)

[RedRebel8]

Unbelievable!!!

Amazing cover.

[surfwalid]

good job freind

[rwbrdms1]

Excellent job!

[richardpeej]

This is one of my favourites-awesome playing!

[stesus123]

Incredible...I'm lovin' this. This is where it all started...THANKS.

[Davis752]

Amazing. It sounds almost like the original. You're a first class musician.

[jayfactory]

Right on bro! Awesome job!

[sebastermineitor]

shit man o.O!!!

[andrewr62]

Dude, you nailed the vocal! Ghost of Johnson?

[3030indaface]

that is tight!

[irvintib]

OUT-FREAKIN-STANDING dude, so tell us, did YOU visit the same crossroad as robert johnson?

[BIGBASS1992]

Amazing performance, but you need to get a better camera :P

[hoyungtom]

Agree , ha

[Punkytom666]

Really good work, you took possession of Johnson's specific style !

[Rotzloeffi]

GENIOUS! I love Robert Johnson, and you did him so well. Great, respect for that!

[mikmc]

Class man , 5 stars !!

[Joelesque]

Good job, dude!

[1Delly]

This is not Johnson! I don't know who it is but it isn't Robert Johnson.

[micsir888]

What an idiot you are! You're on the net find who it is! Are you done looking!? Feel stupid!? How can you post stupidity on the net saying you don't know when all the information is a click away. Classic dumbass. lmao

[EverythingZen14]

No, this is definitely Johnson. I know because I saw the sessions where Eric Clapton covered this song. It's ok, dont let these jokers get you down, it was an honest mistake.

[369711623]

I make a habit out of listening to this frequently. Little Boy Blue, you're "getting to be a habit with me" jdm

[LittleBoyBlue75]

well that's a real compliment coming from a Chicagoan - I'll come play for ya in poyson if you like; just need the 'trainfare' hehe

[FUNKYDEEPSOUL]

@LittleBoyBlue75 nice!! nice !! nice!! thanks （＾－＾）

[JazzBill]

Greetings from Chicago my friend .... Best cover of this classic I have ever heard.

[jasonecc]

awsome cover mate the best i've heard yet want so bad to be able to play like this!

[369711623]

I never get tired of listening and playing this video!

jdm

[LittleBoyBlue75]

Yeah I know it is a funny lyric...but the fact is that 'California' back then was used metaphorically for 'a land of promise'...you know like some people say 'so and so place is my Mecca...' and Chicago was the Bluesman's Mecca

[fattonyd232]

i'm not american but last time i checked chicago was not in california?? lol

[Wullieboy1985]

Vai doing Robert Johnsons songs He couldn't if he tryed. This guy has the soul the blues simply amazing. So trying hard to do Roberts songs man been playing guitar for about 5 years. Can play most things but Robert Johnsons style eludes me. Excellent performance mate keep up the good work.

[369711623]

This is such a good example of the music I

LOVE! I just wanted you to hear it. This is a really old Blues song (1930's) by the guy who pretty much started it all.....Robert Johnson.

[LittleBoyBlue75]

Hey all you at '369711623' - I take it this is a music forum of some kind - appreciate the comments...it's DAN NASH by the way. Had a US tour planned but the credit crunch got me - wrote a song on it too on youtube called 'credit crunch blues' so check it and please stay in touch - thanks for your comments too.

[369711623]

This guy is great and does this Robert Johnson like I think Johnson would if he were alive now.

What is his name???????

[369711623]

Little Boy Blue singing Sweet Home Chicago.

Who is Little Boy Blue. He does a great cover with this song. Ah sez agin: Who is this guy?:????

[369711623]

OK everybody, this guy's hame is Don Nash.

He's from London and might tour here. He has a Masters from Cambridge University but he's got the soul of an old blues man. Look for him, if you liked the cover of Robert Johnson's (1930's) "Sweet Home Chicago.

[369711623]

On my last comments section--I need to correct

where he went to school.  He went to Oxford. I not only had the university wrong, I had him in the wrong county! Jeez.

[369711623]

deep blues woman 08/04/09

Vai has captured Robert Johnson like no one else. He should sing ALL of Johnson's old songs because his voice and interpretation are

so excellent. That would be my dream.  Vai doing all of Johnson's old songs. Dream on,

deep blues lady.

[peacefr0gg]

amazing man, just amazing. you got the feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel.

[fjekarlsson]

Lovely sound, you're doing a great performance.

Keep up the good work!

[toy1machine]

You got soul bro.

[nyivh123]

wow impresionanteeeeeeeee:)

[MrMilezz]

Awesome voice and guitar!

[MrMisterBluesman]

its so beautiful my blues brother...lol im about to cry....girls must be chasing ya

[callumgraham]

Cracking effort, I'm sure Robert Johnson would approve.

[guitarrjunky]

yeah right, good, and anybody who criticize. come on, do it better.....

[LittleBoyBlue75]

Many can I am sure - this has more views than any other video I have posted and personally I think there are many better efforts from me than this - please check the rest of my channel - respect

[guitarrjunky]

Sorry, but I didn't want to blame you for anything, the performance is great, but I didn't like some comments and wanted to make clear, what a great job you did.

[bekicarlos]

Very good,welcome to brasil.......

[LittleBoyBlue75]

Thanks - keep watching

[co9olTechnics]

Very nice video. You have a fantastic voice for this and I must say your guitar still is great too. It's not easy to play Robert Johnson

[radagast8787]

Nice tribute! i was looking for the actual song and almost close this, i'm glad i didn't :D

[roytek444]

very good....respect 4 you....

[laertefidelisdias]

He sings like a black man! great

[MrDukeFreeman]

I disagree...he sings like a white guy that doesn't quite have the blues...good effort though

[Nakedleg124]

i bet you couldnt play it half as good as he could

[brideshead1921]

well done! don't listen to the naysayers.

[rockgardenrocks]

Can't imagine how anyone checking this out looking for a Robert Johnson could insult you herre. Great tribute!

[LittleBoyBlue75]

Haha - I am not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult but either way it made me 'lmao' - so cheers

[scarfacedan09]

What tuning is ur guitar in?

[jetcrusr]

Just wanted to let you know that while you were playing this song, my cat threw up on our dog and then evacuated his urethra all over my uncle Candok's wingtips. I think that you scared the crap out of him with that high pitched chicken shaving voice of yours. My dog looks at you with his one good yellow-mattered custard eye as if to say, "Hey flea-bag with the funky hat and wife-beater t-shirt.....dont quit your day job at McDonalds.

[senarphis]

How many videos do you have on you tube? I'd like to invite you to make the exact same video so we can compare you to him.

[shadoosky]

this guys talent is equal to your sad pathetic jealousy...ie he has loads of it!..your favourite song?...mmm, jealous guy!!!

[LittleBoyBlue75]

big up - speaking of jealous guy, check the Donny Hathaway version, it rocks

[jlaser12]

Easy to smack someone on youtube... the boy sounds good, so you should piss off

and if your cat evacuated his urethra... well... I guess I'd give him props because it's impossible to do... I think you meant emptied his bladder, but don't worry, they're always hiring at McDonald's, leave the anatomy terms at home

Where's your version?

[LittleBoyBlue75]

Cheers for backin me up dude - everyone is entitled to their opinion - the cat comment appears to have been deleted from here but it did make me laugh my a@s off though - whether it was meant to be an insult I couldn't tell - also, respect to the guy below who says I 'sound like a white guy who doesn't quite have the blues! lol' fair dos man, maybe I should redo it - I have had the worst year of my life - might sound more authentic now!!!

[sheltonblues]

Did you sell your soul to the Devil by any chance?

[LittleBoyBlue75]

hehe - yeah, although I had to take a reduced price due to the credit crucnch man. It even affects the folks in hell!

[bretangel79]

HAHA dude I have so much respect for you for playing it so wonderfly
