Blind Blake played this in drop D and it's been covered quite a few times so here's a lapslide version in open D (tuned a half step down).

I play a style 4 weissenborn made by Tony Francis

  • hey what does "tuned a half step down" mean? i know open D tuning, but i never understood what that meant

  • it means that I'm in fact in C# tuning (a half step lower than D) but with the same intervals as in open D. It's accepted to say it like that as it's less confusing to say I'm in open C# tuning (then you could think I'm in open C tuning a half step up but open C tuning has different intervals than open D so that would not be correct). Leadbellly for example tuned his 12-string when in standard tuning 4 steps down. This means his thin E string is in C when played open.

  • This is awesome! Shared :-)

  • Best vocals on a blake cover I've seen, not to mention the most orignal rendition. Others can play blake pretty darn good but no decent vocals or originality. I knew if I searched long enough I would find something out of this world.

  • wow blind blake wishes he could play it like you do!

    kudos!

  • Prachtig gespeeld en gezongen Daddy! Originele versie Grtz

  • Once again, nice posters. Inspired me to get some of my own. You must change your video location to get the picture of the bluesman. Subtle! As always, excellent piece. Love to see the Blind Blake.
