@Alex...keep up the good work.  I dig what you have done with the tune already.  You don't do it just like I do, but that is the point...to make the songs a way to express what YOU...

@WAngalik...I think he is just saying that Skip James and many other blues men used to finish the vocal lines with a guitar riff that sounds like the line he would have sung in the...

@Peter Wolf...Nice job Peter.  I can tell you are taking your time with this one.  You are getting it together!

@Alex...It sounds to me like you have got it.  Good rhythm and tempo.  The only thing that I would say to change would be to play the bass strings with a lighter touch.  Try...

Ok guys, you win! The way I was voicing it, the C7#9 didn't sound quite right to me, but when i play it on the lower four strings it sounds better to me. So thanks guys for...

Good job Ben. At exactly 17 seconds on the time code you should roll off of the 4 draw with a bend, slide to the 3 draw then come back to the 4 blow. You leave out the bend and...

@Corey....thanks....I need to study your version better...the intro I do, I think it's reversed to yours. It's a classic arpeggio from up to down, while what I like in yours is...

@ Alex...I really dig what you have done with the tune.  I can hear the Skip James influence and also some of you in there too.  I wouldn't change a thing, except to say try...

Mike, Gregg Allamn covered this recently...like in 2011...the intro is not uncommon (the minor chords make it rarer)

@Corey....thanks for teaching us this wonderfull tune!!! I always loved it...It's so unique Skip James style...I'd like in the future to be able to sing the way he does...I love...

I agree with Octavio. This is a C7#9. Kenny solos over this tune in very much a minor mode with the pentatonic minor scale/blues scale, but it's definitely C7#9, which includes the...

Amazing tune.  The intro is absolutely beautiful.  Here's where I am after working on it today.   I feel like I've heard some song that borrowed this intro ... Allman Brothers or...

Duke, I would love to see a lesson or two about how you play a blues in A with the 6/8 feel and with the D7 chord shape at the sixth and seventh frets.....I wrote this to Corey as...

interesting choice to sing the first verse in the dialect if you know what I mean.....I love Skip James' music.
