The Blues Is Here To Stay - Acoustic Fingerpicking Blues

Ain't that the truth! No matter what they trow at you : the blues is here to stay!

Originally a piano blues by Eddie Boyd; I like the lyrics so I made a fitting guitar arrangement.
The boogie part is inspired by a Reverend Gary Davis instrumental called "Walkin' Dog Blues" and there's also some Blind Blake in it.
Played in C position
I'm playing a 1953 Gibson L-50, a great archtop which you can pick up cheap at ebay if you're patient.
