John The Revelator By Son House

An absolute classic by Son House. Cocked up in the usual fashion by me but enjoyed doing it none the less.
I arranged it (not a difficult task) and hope you think it sounds cool.

Cheers!

John The Revelator is written by Blind Wille Johnson..!

He wrote many of the great classics including Motherless Child and Dark is the Night, Soul of a Man, and also Bodies Fault but Mine, which Paul Butterfield loved to cover and did so more than once..

really? didnt know that..i thought it was a SH original (and Motherless Child which SH does so well) Thanks for the info!!!

WOW nice! Dude, what tuning you on?

[oasisrock1]

cheers mate - i appreciate that! I am in standard G tuning for slide guitar - easiest arrangement in the world - have a go and post it!

This is a total obomination of a great song and lost all of the heart, soul, and mood of it. This is further proof why Britts should stop "trying" to play the bues and stick to the pop and pop rock theier so good at.

Thanks for the encouragement friend. I hope you do get "to the top" as quickly as you think you will. Somehow I think not but good luck!

Great job. Not to sound like a smart ass but Son Seal didn't write this. Blind Willie Johnson wrote it. Son must have dug it, he was a great blues man and a full time preacher. Thus he sung and sometimes played this Christian based blues song often. Either way, your version is super.

Bravoooooo!!! Great version!!! You should record it!!!

@rokstarsrfr Man, you just had a go at a whole nation! This guy at least sang in tune, which is more than I can say for your off-key warbling. I'd get some singing lessons if you aspire to get to the top of the musician tree buddy.

TJTele52 is a douch. tryin 2 pretend he knows everythin

[pnwsnewton]

You should title the video "COVER". This is not Son House playing.

[ryandude1994]

@rokstarsrfr do not generalise a whole nation saying they can't play blues, if this was played a bit slower then it would sound more classic and bluesey

[CodyPaul82]

No one can beat Son House, but you did a great job. Love this.

[Neverender78]

This is really excellent! I love the arrangement.
