Amazing playing! Can you do a vid of "The Twelves" by Kokomo Arnold? I'm trying to figure it out but not having that much success. I'm playing it in open D tuning with a bottleneck, but I wonder if he was maybe playing lap slide with a bar? I just can't get the melody bit when it gets going. I think he does the whole melody on the top string, until the turnaround. Sorry for the cheeky request!
Yep, there's a few tips. I've had several enquiries about playing West Coast B, That'll Never Happen and other Blake songs. I'll post something soon. If you've subscribed, you'll get notified. It's great keeping the old blues alive, isn't it?
Excellent! Easily the best Blind Blake interpretation I've seen on YouTube. You really capture the bounciness of the alternating bass that most miss, plus you cleanly delineate the treble runs, very much like the master himself. Well done!
