Hard Time Killing Floor Blues

Old blues standard on acoustic guitar. This is at the very lower end of my voice range. Tried an octave higher but the lower register is better. Storm in the background is live coming through the open window, not effects.

Tuning on the guitar is D minor. Here is a link to explain the tuning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWzUVghWmKA

One the guitar is tuned you can find tab for the song. Not hard to play!

Is this about killing floor the game?

@malchiah9090 I can't say for sure what it really is about. Just a beautiful song that I had to learn.

For such a family heritage in the Missouri Dakotas, where did you get such a great Mississippi voice?!!

I carefully studied this song off of the "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack. I listened to it again and again. The guitar requires special tuning so I could only practice this song again and again.

is this song in regular tuning?

[klusmanp]

Tuning is D minor. See additional info in video information. I've included a link to another video that explains the tuning. Not hard to play once you tune the guitar and find the tab online.
