  • man, i'm i the only one confused about the tuning? tune it to open D but one step down (C) and then capo 1st?

  • no need to worry about the key. as long as you have the open D finering, that's all that really matters.

  • i agree not using a pick sounds more authentic with early blues although i've been play w/a thgumbpick lately and most of the blues i play i end up muting the top 2strings sometimes 4th too really great vid brother...

  • heya, thanks so much! i use thumbpicks too, and metal fingerpicks when i play live. it's hard to get a nice loud sound when it's just your bare nails and fingers--especially if you're playing in a crowded bar.

  • any possibility of doing a very quick lesson for that little song you did before bird without a feather? Looking for a beginner kinda thing :)

    You sound amazing by the way!

  • you play it well but your explanation of fingering/tabs could use some work. i have no idea what the tuning is nor can i fully see the fingering...but great job on the history of it, that was nice.

  • You should do Let My Baby Ride. Great tune. Great vid man. Keep it up. I'll try to learn it without a pick, although i don't know how t fingerpick yet. Maybe it's time to try.

  • Yeah!

  • i'm glad i'm not the only one who plays this music just with his fingers... Good lesson!

  • trying to tune to his bad (and wrong) instructions, i broke a string. fckn pissed right now.

  • Ive watched this video quite a few times and still cant figure out the tuning....can you give me the tuning in open strings then i can put the capo on ..dont know written music at all so i just learn where to put my fingers...thanks a lot

  • @JonnyGrave oh my, i love you..........r playing and singing ;)

  • @JonnyGrave Can You me/ youtubers i guess how to play someday baby by RL Burnside?

  • Hell thx for the Tip with the Album... i really love it!
