[whocares1694]

After Dave Van Ronk's version this guy isn't the deal sorry....

[rdx506]

Who is this kid ?

[sassandro]

I wich I could have played cocaine and still guitar in this guy's way!!!

[69frolic]

nice job thanks and peace

[guyglowmore1]

this is good but was hopin to see rev gary davis

[Afro1989]

nice playing, really relaxed

[Fruscianteistheman]

Not to troll, but this is pathetic. Don't upload please, have some humility with your lack of talent.

[warrcrew]

@Fruscianteistheman this song is good man what do you mean lack of talent? do you have a video of you playing?

[Fruscianteistheman]

@warrcrew

I don't upload videos of me playing guitar because I am not just another pretentious byproduct of the 21st century angst driven musicians like this kid is.

[1wiesehoefer1]

excellent********

[greencheetah]

Fantastic!

[clevblue]

Nice, very nice, Thank you

[1canyonguy]

For some reason cant convert and download ?

[unripevocal]

very good interpretation of the song

[wineroo]

cocain is good

[niallcello]

fantastic guitar playing!!

[wetriddim]

so is this song based around three chords? C, F, G?

sounds like C add something, F add something, and a partial G somehow.

[lobizoon1]

That's it friend, look for Stefan Grossman's lesson here in youtube.

[boutaspoonful29]

Pls put "cover" in the title.

[newswood]

fuck this bullshit mistitled stuff

[1canyonguy]

@newswood I agree! mistitled for sure but nice non the less

[lostintheblues]

that was great I really enjoyed it

[evsynator]

That is really good .... nice one !

[rikkosuperb]

very nice, keep up the good guitar playing

[seesamfall]

that was awesome man.

[obie2303]

where can i find the tabs for this!?!

[carlosdub]

C, F, E it´s only 3 notes

[lobizoon1]

That what makes it perfect.

[SenorCali]

Happy Traum teaches this on his dvd "Easy Fingerpickin' Favorites"..a tab book comes with the video.

[bensation]

you do this song justice

thanks

[CommieAliens]

I'm impressed, nice changes.

[saullouis]

Sometime around 1962 my older brother brought home a rev Gary Davis record. We were both blown away. I still am. Im so glad he is still listened to. Ive been playing guitar since around that time, but never felt that I could take on any of his tunes.

[distar10]

odd

[zimmerface]

fuck you, trickster

[JanKenobi23]

it's the cocaine.. ;)

great job.... 5*

[vinnythedon]

Amazing guitar work...

[808hawk]

pambo80 i love this song. great version. i have been trying to learn it by earbut cant quite get it especially at the chord changes. do you know where i can get a tab for your version. by the way keep singing in your own voice.

[mcob1]

nice. proper treatment of a song that should grow with the times. I only saw him once and he played "I took her in the kitchen and she wouldn't say quit" on the banjo:)

[rob1927blues]

Job well done on a beautifull arangement, one of my favourites.

[qmac10]

Hey

How about posting the words, or letting me know where on the net they are. I can't seem to find them. Thanks

Thanks

[caulfield111]

Very nice arrangement!

[jpepperd]

I've watched the video 4 or 5 times now. One of my favorites.

[romanowskistudios]

Great Job!!! Definitely one of my favorites, I've subscribed.

[QuarterAfterStudios]

Very good playing abilities and I know Reverand Gary Davis's lyrics aren't the clearest to hear. Nice translation job! Yes, I'm one of those, "no soul", white fellars.

[wildheartedson86]

lol oh dear

[evsynator]

nicely done -

[saullouis]

Nice work. Wasnt the Reverend something else? Can you imagine hearing him on a streetcorner in NYC?

[jeffntab420]

damn good job. that song is fucking true!!! well played. that is what that shit will do to you!

[bluevelvet7474]

Way to be helplessly white. This song is better left to the Reverend.

[cox1356]

... god i hate "striving artists". fyi, you're lyrics are pretty fucking weak on your myspace songs.. and i doubt a blind man cares about skin color.

[bluevelvet7474]

Well, I don't mean his skin color literally, just the fact that he has no soul and he doesn't really add a twist to the song or anything.

I was wondering what about my lyrics you don't like? And why you decided to post about my lyrics on here instead of on my myspace?

[cox1356]

b/c i don't use myspace?

lyrics//voice//tune.. just mesh wrong. that's just me, i'm not speaking for anyone else. i'm not saying you're horrible, but if i was a fan, i'd be waiting for a later album.

[bluevelvet7474]

yeah, I've been working on my first album for a while and I keep starting over.

[saullouis]

Not fair to compare anyone to the Reverand! He was a one of kind. This guy does a good job. Better'n I could do.

[thumbpicker1812]

Nice playing!

[ljhyahoocom]

Fuck the music,it isn`t that good,but the message is all true.

[robbiguy]

you nailed it down!

[b1jhap89]

give me cocaine

[MindFreakOnaLeash]

man ,you are crazy ...loved every bit of it excellent

[sapainca9]

Really good ! Could you send me the "lyrics" you sang ? althought I got the fingerpicking pattern, I can't understand exactly all the words you say (I'm french-canadian)...

[fridrikur]

Great fingerrpicking. Well done

[mississippidel]

spursclips wrong your voice well suited. Do you prefer the unmuted sound of the bass strings, i know most including myself lean heavy on the mute to get the contrast between the boom chick of the bass with the bright ring of the melody. This aint a criticism by way i loved this ! Keep the country blues alive :)

[kickingmule]

There is only one Rev Gary Davis. Let it be so !

[badboy2k5]

Really great, super clean version.

[paulkarel]

Wonderful!!!

La voix et 'interprétation sont parfaites et le côté "désespéré" de la mélodie est accentué par l'effet video. 2'28" de magie que j'écoute en boucle depuis une semaine. Génial.

[Pambo80]

merci beaucoup!

[NunzOnDrugs]

@paulkarel Nice guitar rendition of Gary Davis' original version. It's too bad he stopped playing the song when he got religion.

[Minwah1959]

Really good, well done! I'm trying to get this picking down but not there yet...

[Spursclips]

The guitar sounds alright but the lyrics arn't convincing--doesnt sound like you've actually done cocaine--listen to dave van ronk's version. But good effort nonetheless.

[ray8up]

lol

[billybixton]

yeah do some coke nice pickin

[rightsaidshane]

one of my favorites!

[evenatomato]

impeceble! hey where do i find the chord/tab of this version?

[Pambo80]

Thanks, Sorry I don't have a tab for this.
