@johnmitchel1958 It's blues, there is no tuning that's why he isn't out of tune
-
@busessuck1 originality the bi-product of greatness!

@johnmitchel1958 Blues ain't about perfection anyway, what the hell, it's about life:, hard times, good times.......Great pickin' talkin', love this man.

"I ain't no winemaker or no winemaker's son, but I can squeeze a little juice till your winemaker comes!!!"

@o0oDaveSo0o actually that's a popular misconception - if you listen to Jelly Roll's Hesitation Blues from his Library Congress recordings (on youtube i believe) he says "for a long time people thought i wrote this tune, i used to sell leaf copies for 35cents..." its an old blues standard, but yeah he was the first to really popularise it.
-
His guitar is not out of tune. Due to the playing of a diminished 5th above the melody - this adds a rustic or "out-of-tune" sound.
This song was originaly composed by Jelly Roll Morton (piano) {1885-1941}.
@TheThunderbyrd - to say Jorma is an "over rated blues player" is very incorrect.
Jorma is very underated and never truly got the recognition he deserved, regardless of the style of music he played.

Buchanstreet/ This is the guy that contributed so much to Hot Tuna/ Jorma and Hillbilly Jazz in general. I guess he was the guy to see in the Village in the sixties+.

Far superior to derivative copy-cats. Just listen to the non-repetitive bass lines.
As far as the out of tune crap, he was an old man at this point-it's not central to the
man's inherent greatness. Perfect music is boring.
