Playing Around with 'Hop Joint' (Mississippi John Hurt)

Thanks so much for your posts. Brings back memories of sitting round at the Greenman coffee shop listening to acoustic blues and yarning with my mates.

Cheers

Nice work! loved it!

I can't play with a thumb pick, throws my picking hand out because I anchor my pinky on the table, so I just dig in a bit harder! thumb & 3 fingers for gentle, thumb & 2 fingers for down & dirty! :-)

@Lansdownekid Thanks for commenting. I don't use a thumbpick so much now, but it's useful for some tunes on some instruments. It's good to play around and see what happens! Cheers - <}:-)

Very good, thumb!

Sounds more MJH without pick... :-)

Version with lyrics coming?

@MKurki thanks, M. yes, I'm playing less with the pick these days - this is an oldish tape - I have tried it with the lyrics but my voice isn't right - but I'd like to get a good version down some time if I can - who knows? <}:-)
