Sorry I misspelled a couple words

BIGRIG56 - Check out Mississippi John or Lonnie Johnson two of the best players in my opinion.

Joe Johnson thanks 4 letting me know about Mississippi John & Lonnie. That's the kind of blues and pickN style I love it really brings a stur to my soul.thanks a bunch

just made me laugh too

still smiling

I agree 100%

You played with rthe king of the blues.

Bleu Larue me too. He was a sweet man, always witty and entertaining. He loved people.

No kidding....? Thats cool, in that case. Cheers.

I knew him in Memphis too. I’m from about 65 miles south of there. He used to play at Peanuts and other midtown bars. He was a lovable gentleman. You can bet he had a half pint of Early Times in his coat pocket. 😹

The melody is similar to Rollin' And Tumblin'.

I think he might be in Vestapol and Spanish tuning you can look them up,they are 2 tunings used a lot by slide guitarists.

I think it's a open G tuning also referred to as Spanish tuning D G D G B d

Jim1971a I think you're missing the point.

Jim1971a yes, it's out of tune. it's an open g tuning.

+Jim1971a < Any other way wouldn't sound right.

doesn't matter who the blues artist was. they don't sound right unless it's slightly out-of-tune

Lol ur outta tune
