Once when asked how he could play, smoke a cigar and sing at the same time he was said to have replied: "Smoke don't bother my eyes, can't see, if my singin' bother you don't listen" . A story from an old friend that used to listen to him in NYC.

This a section that he took from 'Maple Leaf Rag' .... kinda neat learning about where the REV got his chops from...
-
He looks like Blind Lemon Jefferson

Merci mille fois pour cette treasure. Il y a quelques autres?? Salut.

@matt301273 The Reverends guitar could have no strings at all and still sound glorious! Dude......
-
Seems like he is just a little off key in tuning. the high strings are a little sharp. But very difficult for me as I can't tell precisely what chord forms he's using. As long as I use my ears, I'll have it soon.
-
is the low d off pitch?
-
Dude, get a guitar tuner!
-
to me personally Gary Davis and Skip James are the masters of the acoustic guitar. both styles are so oringinal haunting n clean yet dirty not to mension they both sound COMPLETLY diffrent than most other acoustic guitarist of their time n place
