Tampa Red Boogie Woogie Dance Bottleneck Blues Slide Guitar

Boogie Woogie Dance by Tampa Red performed by Keni Lee Burgess on six string Banjitar / Guitjo in Vestapol tuning Key of C (CGCegc).
Tampa Red (January 8, 1904) - March 19, 1981), born Hudson Woodbridge, but known from childhood as Hudson Whittaker, was an influential American musician.
Tampa Red is best known as an accomplished and influential blues guitarist who had a unique single-string bottleneck style.
The National guitar he used was a gold-plated tricone, which was found in Illinois in the 1990s and later sold to the "Experience Music Project" in Seattle. Tampa Red was known as "The Man With The Gold Guitar", and, into the 1930s, he was billed as "The Guitar Wizard".

you inspired me man. been thinking about getting one of these 6 string banjos. i don't want to play bluegrass so much on it. mostly blues stuff because thats mostly what i play on guitar. any suggestions before i make the purchase?

@AllKindsaGirls Thank you for your comment and question. This Deering banjo has fantastic tone. Unfortunately, they are not cheap. Actually, I no longer own it. It was very heavy (even heavier than my National Resophonic guitar). Sitting with it for a long time was too uncomfortable. I really don't know much about banjitars. All I could suggest is beware of cheap imported asia models. There is a guitar company called elderly instruments that might be able to help. Google for more info. Enjoy.
