Agreed. Has an air of "cool" to it in the way that can't be faked.

On y entend clairement l'écho de Blind Willie Johnson, bravo pour cette interprétation, il ne manque que la deuxième voix féminine pour être transporté dans les années 30

Best version I've heard of this song. Voice and guitar really cooking together. The sentiment of this song is very emphatic and you really nail it.

This is such a great slide blues tune, and man you do it really well, one of my " new favs", love that solid syncopation, fingerstyle+slide, and the vocal, all one big instrument w cool results, such a classic. Blind Willie is a new discovery, through a Zep song, as usual, oops they did it again, sort of. Different music, but strongly influenced lyrical hints. Great melody, brilliant slide blues playing, one of the inventors, sure Mr.Page gave it a few listenings no doubt

Man... Only 187 subscribers and just a few thousand views??? Is this a joke? None of this renders you justice. I bumped into the channel myself by chance. I was about to fall asleep on my couch watching slide guitar videos but I jumped up as soon as I heard your performances. You master them all, for me from the songs I heard you are the best all out contemporary blues guitar performer I know of. Hats off! PS: I only drank 2 beers ;)

@halfblaked3030 2 жыл бұрын

That's badass. Reminds me of Fallout76 . I can make my cheap $5 aluminum slide sound, reasonable.. specially on; In my time of dying. but I have a feeling a more legitimate slide would serve me much better. Any recommendations? Brands/Materials one should aim for to use on an typical Electric guitar?

@MartinSwampsMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Hey man! I personally think that glass bottleneck slides are the finest. They're lightweight and have great sustain. Bone slides are really great too if they are well polished. In this video I used a pork shoulder bone I made myself.
