We enjoy these every week. Blind Blake sure did love that key of C! The turnarounds are creative and the interludes carry it along just perfectly. You sound great and it brings us joy, thanks Elijah 🙏

I'd like more people to listen to these kind of blues.

Great picking! I’ve learned about fingerpicking from your videos, especially the Dave Van Ronk arrangements. I can’t yet figure out how his Just a Closer Walk with Thee is arranged; nothing I do sounds quite right and I can’t find a video of him playing it live. Do you happen to know how he got that sound?

I don't -- never tried to work that one up.

What guitar might you recommend for a beginner with little cash?

There's no easy answer -- different people like different guitars. There are a lot of good, relatively inexpensive guitars on the market these days, and my best advice would be to try a bunch of them and see which feels and sounds good to you.

Get yourself a solid top acoustic guitar from Yamaha. You can get a new one for about $200. As the guitar ages, the wood in that top will dry out and become more resonant. You will get many years of musical enjoyment out of that instrument.

@@petemccarry2326 I've played nice Yamahas, but there are many brands of good, inexpensive guitars and the last time I wanted one I found other brands that worked better for me. As I wrote above, there is no single answer that works for everybody.
