i like the Keith Richards version a lot

@freddysmith123: Gosh freddy don'i get your g-string in a knot. I appreciate you're trying to guide me in the right direction, but please tone down the language - the Reverend is present. I realise now from your aggressive tone that appreciating the blues just isn't possible unless you have a bony white ass and the vocabulary of a baboon with Tourette's. I humbly bow to your superior knowledge and trust our conversation is now over. I just don't think this relationship is working out ;)

@ristau Rev. Gary Davis is the inspiration, not Keith Richards. Stefan learned this from Rev Gary Davis.

Keith Richards is the inspiration here.

whats the fingerpicking pattern? i can't work it out

[mistervoice20]

super :)

[whocares1694]

He's doing it the regular Travis style : Thumb: bass to higher note, not like Dave Van Ronks reverse thumb style wich I prefer.

Not bad, Stefan Grossman is a great player and very pleasant sounding but I wish he'd broken the song down a bit more, namely which frets to play with which fingers and the fingerpicking pattern.

Stefan Grossman is a maestro,,,,,, thanks all this time i only use picks,, but now i m starting use my all finger perhaps haha

[DrNoth]

Where do I get this DVD from?

@GwarMaggot: You're right. Somehow, just by listening closely, I managed to 'break it down' without going to his house even once. You need to read my previous comments to understand the gripe. Btw Doood, I don't think you know the Reverend well enough to be on first name terms.
