[lenaspieltblues]

Similar to Mad About Technique Blues this was a sound accident ... we see: sometimes accidents create new ... Thanks a lot Rod! :=))

[suuzzee5]

That's OK... I don't ever mind saying good things twice about your music! Can't tell you how many times I have marked somebody's comments on my videos as "spam" ... lol I always write and tell them. So... Lena... :) ... I absolutely love this song and I'm over here all the time listening to this version.

[lenaspieltblues]

And I, very carefully, answer you: Thanks so much my fiend !!! ;=))

[suuzzee5]

LOLOL!!  xx

[lenaspieltblues]

Vielen Dank Martin, freut mich wirklich sehr, daß Dir meine Musik gefällt! :=))

[GuenterGeurts]

Hallo Lena,

du hast deine Weissenborn ja schon richtig gut im Griff. Prima gespielt.

[lenaspieltblues]

Na ja, bisserl was tun muß ich noch, bootlenecken und steelbaren sind einfach verschiedene Paar Schuhe, .... Vielen Dank Günter! :=))

[BoeckmannLudwig]

Sehr schön, Lena - das erinnert mich an alte Zeiten (Blind Joe Death war die erste LP von John, die ich mir damals mühsam zusammengespart habe, und die war jeden Pfennig wert!).

Gruß

Martin

[lenaspieltblues]

Danke Martin, Lob von Dir zählt besonders :=))

Liebe Grüße in den Norden,

Lena (die nicht genug von JF kriegen kann)

[SaitenPicker]

Das Filmchen läuft doch gut !!

Ich hör auch keine Hopser ;-)) 5*

Haste gut gemacht ! Und der Wechselbass.......:-))

Hubert

[lenaspieltblues]

Probiere grad ne ganz andere Software (weißt ja schon). Vielleicht schaffe ichs morgen als Vergleich ne zweite Version zu spielen. Nicht wg Film, sondern wg des Tones: Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht sage ich nur ...

Liebs Grüßle,

Deine Wechselbässlerin :=))

[songbean123]

Hi, Lena.

Your play beautiful!

Gold Tone Weissenborn is nice sound.

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks songbean, you're a wonderful player too :=))

[hollowneck]

I forgot to say...

LOVE the hat!

;-)

[lenaspieltblues]

:=))) Thank you!!!

[Tsutsomu]

well done Lena, I like a lot the vintage sound you choose for recording this one.

Great work dear friend.

Steph.

[lenaspieltblues]

More accident than choice dear Steph ;=) but I like it very much too. Thanks so much!!! Lena

[hollowneck]

Lena, you play this tune beautifully, thanks for posting!

If that is your "first-price" weissenborn then I say you make it sound priceless.

A Luthier-built or original 1920s Weissenborn would be glad to find itself in your lap, Lena!

I enjoyed your "Clayton Peacock" too... you play john's tunes with a solid rhythm and great feel!

I look forward to more of your Weissenborn playing!

Best wishes from the UK,

Chris.

[lenaspieltblues]

"A Luthier-built or original 1920s Weissenborn would be glad to find itself in your lap": Oh yes Chris, I would be glad too :=)) Thanks so much for your wonderful words on my playing! Makes me lucky ...

[lupine22]

Lena, you play this one really well!

Just like John.

Well done!

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks so much my friend Dave :=)) So much joy to play this wonderful tunes ....

That is the best compliment you could make (and I know that you knew it ;=))

Thanks so much Laurie !!!

Big hugs and many kisses,

Lena

[NossedEvoTwin]

As always, beautiful.

[HanzP]

Hi Lena, als Ed-Gerhard-Fan liebe ich den Klang einer Weissenborn obwohl ich selber kein Slider bin ;-(( Dein Sound für diesen Song ist klasse und klingt authentisch, selbst die 1:45 ;-))) Prima gespielt, Daumen hoch *****

Liebe Grüße

Hansel

[lenaspieltblues]

Vielen herzlichen Dank Hansel (und vielleicht sollte ich ein klein weniger Erbsen zählen ;=))

[hotfirecaster]

Hallo Lena,

Great Tune! I don't know John Fahey that much, so I will follow your advise. Congrats for your cover you did a great one!

Cheers from Paris,

Chris

[lenaspieltblues]

There are some recordings more that are essential. But this is the one that I love most. Thanks so much for your nice words!!!

Best wishes from Regensburg to Paris, Lena

[suuzzee5]

WOW... Lena, I absolutely LOVE this sound!!! Sweet sweet sweet! And your playing style is... magnificent! Big hugs and wow... I am so impressed with your playing here! Suze xx

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks so much Suze, i am really proud about your words. :=))

Big hugs and kisses,

lena

[cinderellalifestyle]

Lena,...OH OH!!! did the mistakes get canned:-)??? LOL,...I will await another try later---maybe just the site is down? I so looked forward to seeing/hearing you and the weissen! I hope to find this or another vid, later.

your friend,...LaurieLee

[2xVitamR]

Hallo Lena, also, die Weissenborn hat einen tollen Klang und du spielst das auch super. Ich höre es gerade zum 2ten Mal, aber ich weiß nicht, wo der Fehler sein soll. Leider kann ich dir nur 5***** geben. Wenn du mir die Fehler verrätst, bekommst du die Bestnote.

Liebe Grüße

Michael

[lenaspieltblues]

OK Dir verrate ichs: Bei 1:45 ist der Akkord zu tief und am Schluß 2:12 kommt noch ein Achtel hin oder der slide muß schneller sein.

SO: nu bitte die Bestnote ;=))) (und erzähls nicht jedem)

Danke Michael!

[2xVitamR]

Hallo Lena, ich werde schweigen wie ein Grab. Ich habe gedacht, das müsste so sein und gehörte dazu. Ok, hier die Bestnote (man kann nur 5*)

Liebe Grüße

Michael

[lenaspieltblues]

Ach Du hast rech Michael. Ich fürchte fast, ich benehme mich mit meiner übertrieben Selbstkritik fast ein bißchen arrogant. Tag danach gefällt mirs auch richtig gut und die kleinen Holperer gehören eh dazu .... Ehrlich gesagt: mir ist viel wichtiger, daß das Ganze gewissermaßen eine Geschichte erzählt, das macht mich wirklich froh ...

Liebs Grüßle,

Lena

[MaceGill]

Wonderful! Nice clean sound too!

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks a lot Mace Gill !!! :=))

[bluespower]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!! thanx lena

[harleyblues]

Hach Mann...du bist eine besondere Musikerin....du fühlst es eben...klasse...

[lenaspieltblues]

Lieber Martin, jetzt hast aber auch alles durch ... habe ganz herzlichen Dank für Deine tollen Kommentare und Komplimente. Das freut mich wirklich von Herzen .... Danke! :=)))

[DoctorGuitar1962]

Sauber!

[lenaspieltblues]

DANKE Doktor !!!

[HaraldPetry]

Hi Lena, super gespielt! Gefällt mir richtig gut!

LG Harald

[lenaspieltblues]

Herzlichen vielen Dank Harald! :=))

[buster541]

This is very pretty! Great sound! Have you tried play a Dobro? They have a pretty sound as well.

Great Job!

*****

Thank's

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks Buster, yes I played a Dobro (Spanish style) long times ago. last year I had the opportunity to play a National Squareneck from 1931. my goodness, that was so great!!! However: my deepest love belongs to that old Weissenborn. Four years ago I played on a 1920th Weissenborn guitars: my eyes became wet ... unbelievable!

[buster541]

The Weissenborn sure has a sweet melody. I play bluegrass and the Dobro is loud and sonds great.

Thank's

[lenaspieltblues]

Yes it's really loud and a like it very much! :=))) Would be interesting to play tunes like this on it too ....

[buster541]

I'm sure it would. One of the guys that I jam with plays a Weissenborn and he wouldn't trade it for any thing. He really likes the mellow sound of it. That's the first one I've seen. When we are all playing, we can't hear it. I suppose a person could put a pickup in it and play it through a small amp. or play it though a mic. The Weissenborn sure has a pretty sound.

[bobbyzz94]

Das klingt total gut - du spielst das sehr souverän - ich liebe diese Bottleneck-Klänge ...

lieber Gruß

Robert

[lenaspieltblues]

Tausend Dank Robert :=)) Übrigens: genau handelt es sich hier um eine Steelbar. Und Du mußt tatsächlcih das Sliden nochmal neu lernen, wenn Du mit sonem Ding spielst. Es macht total Spaß ....

[bobbyzz94]

leider hab ich mich, zu meinem Bedauern, noch nie ernsthaft damit beschäftigt - aber ich finde ganz ehrlich, du machst das "KLASSE" !!

[DANIEL64700]

Sympa de te voir Lena! Toujours aussi fan d'open tunning? c'est très beau. Continu de nous régaler de tes morceaux, c'est un vrai plaisir. ; )

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks so much Daniel!!! Yes, I hope I will not forget one day how standard tuning works .... ;=))

[fendermac]

No one does Fahey better than you (apart from him...lol).Excellent.*****

[lenaspieltblues]

Paul, how nice are these words to read!? Thank you so much, my face becomes very red! :=))

[SaitenPicker]

Jooo Lena, haste toll gemacht !!

Schöner Wechselbass !

5*

[lenaspieltblues]

Ich liebe eben den Wechsel ;=)) Danke Hubert ! :=))

[SaitenPicker]

Dafür noch einmal 5***** ;-)) !!

[mizzissippiblues]

your weissenborn sounds fantastic as does your playing 5*****

[lenaspieltblues]

Thanks so much Steve !!!

[daddystovepipe]

Very nice version!

[lenaspieltblues]

Thank you su much!!! Means a lot to me ...

[cottonmangt]

Great stuff!!!

i love it

[lenaspieltblues]

That's great! :=)) Thank you!

[Arsenal123456123]

Really well done! And thanks for adding my documentary of Fahey to your channel. I would give anything to have a guitar like that. I certainly would start making videos of all of Fahey's songs that are on slide. (it's just not the same when you put a regular guitar on your lap and try to play it like a weissenborn). But again, wonderful playing.

[lenaspieltblues]

Thank you so much Arsenal! ... and thank you for this wonderful videos that YOU made. It is a gift! Well, you are right: a Weissenborn is a Weissenborn. My is a first price WB guitar, maybe, one day I can play a luthier WB. It is so much fun to play on it .... (and a lot to learn too)

[garibelon]

Hi Lena

Sounds great and great picking!

Crowned with stars... :)

All the best
