Mississippi Blues

I learned the tune from a recording by Roy Book Binder. Roy does a better job with this - and he manages to sing at the same time! I am playing a delightful Gibson J-50 made in 1961.

Frosty,

Thanks again for teaching me and so many others some beautiful guitar techniques and tunes. You and your viewers might be interested in some of the great Ton Van Bergeyk's "You Tube equivalent" pieces. Instead of looking on "You Tube", search for the website called "Daily Motion" under his pseudonym "Pekka Paska".

Ton and the other guitarist on the old Kicking Mule label were an inspiration to me. It is a delight to hear him play on those videos, thank you very much for the pointer! And thanks for the kind words, I am pleased to know that you have learned some tunes from my recordings.

wow your j-50 sounds sweet sweet sweet.

Man you got that nailed. Beautiful job!

It's been referred to as the graduation piece for blues fingerpickers - you have definetely graduated. Please keep sharing!

i believe this just convinced me to buy a j50 over a j45.

Roy Bookbinder is a great player. However you shouldn't sell yourself short Frosty. A great tune very well played. Bravo.

Of course you know that's how Roy learned it too right? Nice job! One of the many Roy tunes I just haven't been able to figure out - yet.
