Man of Constant Sorrow - fingerstyle guitar

From new CD, available at http://itunes.com/martintallstrom http://cdbaby.com/tallstrom2 or http://www.tallstrom.com

An old traditional folk/ hymn/ bluegrass song with a distinct blues feel. It´s been recorded by many artists but became widely popular recently through "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", a film from 2000 by the Cohen Brothers.
This is my fingerstyle version (drop-D tuning). I´ve EQ´d the mix for an "old" sound...
Couldn´t resist adding some squareneck resonator (it´s a Regal, you see it in the background).
TAB available at:

Sweet, brilliant playing man, what type/brand of acoustic guitar is that??, been really searching for a nice tone like that for a while to play some acoustic blues.

@MrCaribbean

Thanks man!

It´s a Maton EBG808 Artist, made in Australia. I have added some effects here, like delay, compressor and a band pass filter (using only something like 200-3000 Hz)

Good luck

Cheers

Smooth flowing. No string dragging even on the hard part ( 1:21 ). Props
