Pay Day - Mississippi John Hurt

I added a little intro and a long improv break in the middle. I just love John Hurt.

I started playing last year. - these vids are so great. Have you seen any of Rob Adkins? - I've been trying to slow down your vid and go step by step - keep em coming - great job.

Excellent arrangement, Zac. Can you tell me what album? i've never heard a version with lyrics. MJH is the man. keep playin man=B)

[zacharron]

I have a couple versions with him singing, on 'Legend' and 'Today!'. Thanks for listening!

@zacharron do you have it tabbed- it would spped up my learning of it - if not its grand i can figure it out by ear

[dtabbloomington]

i hear the harmonics ringing out - not in the intro, but later; nice.

[dtabbloomington]

good stuff zacharron. this was not the version i expected of that song. you ever do Pay Day at Coal Creek?

[hotlinklarry]

At first I wasn't down with all the picking, but you did such a good job, it grew on me.

Stayed true to the song but brought something original . That's how it should be done.
