Look man...If you know anything about BLUES, you'll be a thousand times more thankful for being able to see his face close up and NOTHING BUT. That should teach you a helluva lot more than if you saw his hands. Plus: you've got ears, right...?

Most Praise to THE MOST HIGH YHWH for returning YOUR PEOPLE back Home to YOU from the Land of Captivity. May McGhee & Terry enjoy The Rest & Peace of The GOD (EL) of Our Ancestors Called YHWH. Blessings & Shalom,

Brownies giutar sounds a bit out of tune on this one. they must have done this song at the end of a number of others. Still sounds great!

@bobobekker yes sireee theres a lot of music going on up there and I count it a privilege to have seen them on youtube and hear them on cd etc and know that there are many others too who are following in the blues trail! and so, it shows that the blues is the roots and the rest is the fruits! wonderful stuff!

Sonny Terry is playing a Bb harp. But you have to play it in cross-harp style since the song actually is in F. There are quite a few videos on youtube explaning it. Hope I could help.

What Key of Harp is Sonny in?

The harp is in the key of Bb. But he is playing it in F. That is called cross-harp.
