nicely done is  that in standard tuning?

[manic2511]

yes, I played this in standard tuning. It's a typical blues progression in A. Unfortunately I have no tabs as I just played it from listening to the song, but if you have any questions - feel free to ask!

Not bad guitar man. Most people on youtube can't grove. Robert Johnson had a complex style. Have you heard the Rolling Stones Stripped version ?

[manic2511]

thanks for your comment. Yeh, the Rolling Stones version is a really nice take on the song. I'd been listening to a lot of Robert Johnson as I was recording this, so I played his version. (...badly)

[RankAndFileGuy]

I see you were going after Eric Clapton's version. I prefer it as well because it's simple and really appealing. It's nice to see people doing songs that are 70-80 years old.

great voice man

[handyboy2000]

Best version on YouTube in Open tuning. Your voice is perfect - not straining and very smooth. The guitar sounds great also - much bertter than the standard tuning that is so much easier to play but inferior in tone.

A lot of people are going to want you to sing it like Robert. Ignore them. You found your own voice.

Congrats. Though I'd love to see you film it using a decent camera.

[westvirginiawonder]

extremely .....just extremely.....your excellent! I'd buy your version! Singing is great and relaxed 5 *'s all the way, guitar is 5*'s all the way!

[shitmunchify]

Very light and jazzy. Interestingly executed, though don't be so shy with your singing. It would improve the performance.

[0tt01103]

nice job i see your playing it in A can you please give me the fingering your using for the opening chord? I know its some sort of mutted A thanks

[kblooz]
