Travelin' Man

My version of Roy Book Binder's arrangement of "Nobody Knows I'm Hurtin'" and "Travelin' Man," similar ragtime blues played in the key of C. Check out Roy's terrific recordings. Played on my Collings O2H

Very nice job, you really captured that ragtime feel as Roy did! The Collings sounds great as well. What if i may ask made you go with the small body Collings as opposed to other makers?

@bluesmanj Thanks for compliment. Collings has a reputation for making great guitars and to my mind it's justified. Their attention to detail is breathtaking. Their necks play like butter. Just all around great instruments.

Bill, this is really some nice stuff. I just heard something close on Pandora.

I'm interetsed in getting this TAB. Do you know where it's available and where I can purchase it please? I've tried Homespun but the song isn't to be found.

I'm really wanting this song in particular.

Thanks.

[BarefingerBill]

thanks for the kind words. I'm playing two songs here: I haven't seen any TAB for the first one, "Nobody Knows I'm Hurtin'," but it has a similar chord structure to "Travelin Man." I believe you can find TAB for that tune in a book called "Book's Blues Book"--minus the tricky intro/outro.

Hope that helps.

Very cool mate.

Great work.*****

[BarefingerBill]

thanks very much for the kind words! They are two of my favorite Roy Book Binder arrangements, with a few of my own touches.

Bill, this is fine stuff. I really like the subtle little rolls or triplets that find their way in here and there. Lotsa stars on this one!

Thanks Bill, I'll look into it for certain.

And that tricky intro/outro...that's what I like so much *grins*.

Nice job!!

You capture the deceptively simple, but beautiful and complex blues.
