@bluesboy

it's a monotonic bass; the bass line is independent of the melody.

Fantastic! you sure are the DADDY. What guitar are you using in the videos. And what woods is it made of. Cheers.

[daddystovepipe]

Thanks.

The guitar is a copy of a Martin OO made by John Gréven. It has rosewood back and sides and an Engleman top.

why are people so anal about what type of guitar you play,i think its the player not the guitar that is worth commenting upon

[jiros00]

This is a sweet riff. It strikes me as halfway between delta and chicago blues. Thanks for putting it up.
