My tuning: CGCGGC
RL Burnside Tuning: C#G#E B G# C#
I'd like to re-iterate this is a very basic way of playing it but one of the great things about playing the blues is it's very open to your own interpretation of it.
I don't really know scales or modes or any of the technical stuff on guitar (ie music theory) as I'm a drummer 1st, singer 2nd and guitarist 3rd but those old blues cats seemed to play by ear and by feeling, which is what I'm trying to go for.
Hope you enjoyed and or learned something from the vid.
@scout005 Glad you dug it.

@Fitten Keep at it! I'd suggest checking out Elmore James, Son House, Muddy Waters, RL Burnside, Shuggie Otis and Lightning Hopkins. They can all be found on youtube. Death Letter Blues is one of my favorites by Son House.
