  • massive thanks for keeping the old chaps music alive

  • Lots of guys learned guitar from Rev Davis...this guy learned Rev Davis guitar from Rev Davis.

  • That is an absolutely beautiful guitar accompanied with a stellar performance. You both compliment each other well.

  • Phew.......gave my happy feet!

  • Most excellent!

    This stuff is NOT easy to learn, but if you are gonna spend the

    time needed to learn RGD, Ernie is the way to do it.

  • Perfect rendition of Slow Drag. A masterpiece!

  • Thank you Ernie. Thank you Rev. He opened my eyes to what a guitar could do sometime around 1962. I bought my j-45 in 64. Now I finally get a chance to do something of the Rev.

  • Thanks you really have it. I have listened a lot to the rev for years, this is the best I've heard him done. very accurate transcription.

  • same guitar played by townes van zandt as well

  • I'm amazed this is played with thumb and just one finger.
