"Statesboro Blues" taught by Ernie Hawkins (Part 1 of 3)

[jazzbofandango]

Man, this is fantastic.

[TexScratch]

Great rendition. Only a Guild 12 string can achieve that tone. Best 12 string guitars made since the 60s; copied by many; matched by none...

[heatmanable]

Good stuff

[acdc94sg]

does anyone know where i can find the slide version

[gtflyer]

Of all the versions, Ernie's is by far the closest. The 12 string really makes it work.

Great stuff!!

[jessupar]

@gtflyer of course it makes it work; it was originally recorded on one.

[gtflyer]

@jessupar

That's what I'm talkin bout..:)

[ceepatton]

ernie needs to purchase a fraulini 12 string

[HoraceLime]

Pretty cool stuff!

[Elrond54]

That's "passed" not "past." Sheesh.

[tinpanalley67]

@Elrond54 thanx gramma nassi. Pass'd

[Elrond54]

Haha! Guess I should've watched past the performance. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Elrond54]

Great rendition! What tuning is this version played in?

[evanwinsor]

@Elrond54 He talks about the tuning for half of the video....

[OhYeah729]

@evanwinsor lol

[drbogenbroom2000]

A master.

[lobizoon1]

What's the guitar brand?

[PearTree37067]

You can't beat a Guild 12 string, especially in the hands of a guy like Ernie Hawkins. It sounds almost like a piano!

[Sointula2]

The thing's a cannon!

[mrbissonet]

Ernie is a class act. Wonderful playing and SINGING (something too many You Tube players omit or put little effort into doing well). His lesson is very thoughtfully put together.

[alma2653]

"Awesome"

[nichmars]

I think he keeps it way more real than many on youtube.

[klocke]

guitar sounds like shit..good playing though

[martinaxman]

Are you kidding? That's a superb sounding 12 string. It's got so many harmonics it sounds like a harpsichord. Check out Stevie Ray doing "Life By The Drop." It's just how they sound. Ernie did a great job this one.

[stephen25uk]

Bob Dylan should write a song about Ernie Hawkins. Blind Willie would be thrilled with that rendition.

[fenderboy88]

apparently blind willie mctell influenced bob dylan so much that he wrote a song about him,such a beautiful but haunting song

[daviemcf]

Amazing blues!!!! 100*

[StarStarka]

Nobody can plays the blues like Blind Willie McTell . . . except for Ernie Hawkins!

[deltablues4761]

Thanks, great!

[inikokir]

[lilaino]

[kalihiwai2]
