@thyme4dave OK then lets see you do it mate, i dare say you'd give up before the second bar. I've been playing for 50yrs now, and still this form of Johnson's playing is some of the most complex around today.

The most influential guitarist and blues musician of all time. Period.

@xxphylthyxphylxx Ever heard of Johnny Winter..lol no disrespect..I truly think he captured Robert Johnson quite well! But with his own stamp respectfully..songs like Dallas, Bladie Mae,as well as Robert Johnson standards When you got a good friend,Stones in my pathway etc.without Johnny I might never have Found Robert or the blues and I'm sure it's visa versa for many.. I LOVE ROBERT JOHNSON!

@bluessman0925 well chet atkins can play two different songs once or lead and rythym at the same time but thats not blues soooo
-
What is most compelling is the fact that Robert Johnson is a black man. I bet that pisses off tons of white folk, even still to this day!
-
@thyme4dave u know nothing. look up eric clapton trying to play some of his songs. Clapton said it took him ages to be even half decent at the stuff Jhonson does

@thyme4dave ...You're one of the people I was telling to be quiet, too, old-timer. Get over yourself and enjoy it if you love it so much.

@InternetRagePlea I was listening to Robert Johnson while you were still shitting yellow ! Grow up and you listen !

Shut the fuck up and just listen.
You are nuts. Their is no one alive who can play guitar solo/rhythym at same time.. Its obvious these so called guitarist who are saying his playing is rough , must be awefull guitarists. I challenge any of you to play any of his songs all the way thru. Clapton has to employ a 2nd guitarist to even come close to Johnsons sound. Johnson plays the most elegant blues of anyone of any era. Theirs good reason clapton and others looked up to him, theirs nothing rough bout his playing. Soulful as hell
