Hesitation Blues

A Reverend Gary Davis tune. I hesitated about posting this as there are so many excellent versions on YT already. Then I thought, what the hell... I've tried to get the loose feel of his playing by the raggy runs.

Connoisseurs will appreciate the pointless nodding and silly grimacing in my performance...

There's an instructional video for playing this tune at:
