[@shriram5494]

you know a tutorial is gonna be legendary when the dude casually down tunes the strings by ear

[@jesseoelbaum6843]

I miss Woody.....Best teacher ever, friend😢😢

[@Bondjamesbond199]

I will learn to play this one day.

[@ledaswan5990]

Blind Blake was so far ahead of his time. a giant of the gutter who get virtually no recognition.

[@alexandregauthier23]

When I retire, I wanna dedicate to learn do that :) Blind Blake!

[@esmeraldo7887]

neat how BB added so much variation to the verses even while singing. Kept it extra interesting.

[@leftypick4854]

This is really, and I mean really good. Thanks for posting this one (and all the other ones as well) Wow. Just...wow.

[@PGrizzy91]

Woody Mann was an alien sent to us to show us how to play guitar. That man was unreal.

[@schwartzenheimer1]

Thanks for this...

[@SeekerGoOn2013]

I’ve gotten most of this song from the Jorma Kaukonen version. You confirmed what I have is pretty close, but with the variations here, I’m going to finally nail this thing! Thanks Woody.

[@jackheslin5237]

WOW! Great picking! Thanks for sharing.

[@Maiah-q7e]

That guitar sounds great.

[@rosssoutherland8118]

Luv it!

An awesome instructional video. You have a great style of explaining. Thanks

Brilliant!! 👍🏻👍🏻🤘✌️

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@AllenBethea]

Excellent! I think Blake use open E tuning, though.

[@MikesMusicMethod]

He does indeed.

[@johnmcphee3136]

Didn't expect to see you here

[@MikesMusicMethod]

@@johnmcphee3136 haha, I tabbed the song out a couple of months ago and wanted to see how other people were hearing this very old gem of a song! Even slowing the tune down to half speed, because of the old recording quality it's difficult at times to know exactly what crazy Blind Blake was up to!

[@jesseoelbaum6843]

If Woody teaches a piece from an old bluesman, you can bet your boots that's the way it was done. Woody was a great historian, musician, teacher and friend.

[@MikesMusicMethod]

@@jesseoelbaum6843 Open E is annoying, you break strings and can tweak the tension of your guitar neck. I think your friend here was just being wise and doing it an Open D instead of open D for simplicity. If he did E, he'd not only being risk snapping strings and messing up neck tension, but so would every student who was learning from him. So it wasn't a dig. Just saying that the original is in the key of E, not D.

Woody, really loved your laid back knowledge. Also, gorgeous sound and the blues rhythm like train so solid! The hook on this Blind Blake song is so strong just amazing! I play easy listening Jazzy / Latin Bossa but I've always loved the blues at this level it hits the sweet spot every time! It's phenomenal ace! Thank you for going to so much trouble explaining the mechanics of this great song!

[@kalebfingerpickinfannin]

Unfortunately, Woody Mann passed away last year...

[@davidaustin4587]

@@kalebfingerpickinfannin Thanks for telling this very sad news! What a great guitar player he was! There is a few players who play this song but I think Woody did the best rendition of this wonderful Blind Blake blues song!

[@hillarychapman1]

This is how I played the high harmonica but as I studied the original, it’s wrong. The high harmonics start on the upbeat and then have a syncopation in the second set

[@chipthequinn]

They were both awfully good.

[@walshydpo]

I thought this was a Ry Cooder song till last week.

[@ryreinhardt]

Ry always credits Blake as a big influence

[@WadoRyuBenkyo]

You know it is going to be a hard one to learn when you have to slow the slowed down version to 0.25 speed to get the notes and changes!

I just to this after watching the Irish girl play this beautifully.

[@guitartommo2794]

I'm here to learn this after watching a 13 year old girl perform this.
