Death Don't Have No Mercy-Rev Gary Davis- Gospel-12 string

One of the best examples of Reverend Gary Davis' Holy Blues. He recorded this haunting song several times. You'll find a great version on youtube with the mistitle "In This Land"
Key of Em

Btw it would be really nice with a lesson on this one.

[daddystovepipe]

Thanks for the kind words.

For a lesson on this song : check out Ernie Hawkins' 'Rev Gary Davis' lesson dvd's at Stefan Grossman's Guitarworkshop.

Geweldige versie Daddy! Very haunting! Wat voor 12 string bespeel je hier? Grtz Tim Pan Alley

[daddystovepipe]

Dank je, de gitaar is een Gibson LG12 van rond 1969 (met een 12-fret nek - zeer uitzonderlijk voor een 12-stringer van die tijd)

De LG (Little Guitar) modellen waren de cheapo's van Gibson.

Of all your exceptional videos, for some reason this one stands out as the most balls out spectacular in my head. Not only did you introduce me to the wonders of Rev. Gary Davis, you inspired me to pick up my old guitar and try to learn some of his licks. I can only thank you for all your videos and your continuing willingness to share you gift.

[daddystovepipe]

Thanks bluesman, and always heartwarming to hear somebody pick up the guitar again; it's a wonderful instrument that will give you eternal enjoyment.

[FirstBassman13]

Very, very, very nice.

But you already knew that. ;-)

Long live the Rev. (and 12-string guitars).

[rastashredder93]

You have the blues.

[dudeandmude]

Ik sta versteld.

[rastashredder93]

This is AMAZING!!! Do a tutorial please my friend!!

[simplethunder]

Great job man. To cover this properly you need to understand that this is more than just a song and I think you understood that perfectly.

[Kylianvb]

Hmm, en nu weet ik zeker dat ik ook een 12string nodig heb... Fantastisch! Je weet de échte blues briljant te vertolken... Nog gigs in regio Amsterdam? Als dat 't geval is, moet ik erbij zijn.

[fishsama999]

Every time I fall on hard times, I fall back on this video. Thanks, man.

[ec476405]

This is how the blues are supposed to sound. 

[vansboy111]

pure amazing really but you should do this song again with a better view of that fret board man i want to so try and learn this song

[jumba5]
