a guitar teacher who sings, how refreshing as blues is about the lyrics first.

[@jensofdenmark]

A lot better than Marty :-)

[@johnhaller7017]

That elegant slide turnaround is one of the most sublime moments in acoustic blues. Thanks for demonstrating.

[@rogerhoman8442]

hey.... glad you pointed that out here... I would not have really zinged in on it unless you did that... now gonna transcribe into E maj and A maj... nice ears there Sir Spock...

Greetings from East Tennessee! Great job Mr. Feldman! Nice tone on the guitar!

Excellent lesson!!! Thank you very much Sir!!!😊 Guitar and vocals that is just great!!! I love it!!!

Playing Robert Johnson makes me realize why I should’ve got a 14 fret resonator

...and the Devil said "Tune your guitar to Open A, boy." and Young Robert did. and it was good.

[@Carlwatkins1984]

That is a truly fantastic version. I have been trying to play this song for 20 years. I am a little bit closer after this lesson but it still needs work. One day I will master it. I play this song every day at least once so eventually I must get there surely. Tom makes it look easy.

[@richardburt9812]

Fantastic lesson!!!!!! Thanks for posting this!!!

[@keiferreefer1]

real nice slide work there sir,,thanks for the workshop.

[@danielgray3283]

This is a very nice rendition of this song and is one of my favorites.. My favorite slide man on this is of course is Duane Allman along with Delany and Bonnie and friends

[@talstory]

totally great and authentic feeling

[@kimr45]

A little tip here, Tom is playing a 12 fret guitar. If you are using a 14 fret guitar with an open G tuning capo on 2nd fret, your first notes will be around the 14th fret.

[@robertkerr_music]

Great instruction! You captured all the subtleties! I feel like I have found a time machine!

I just bought this course and can say that it is the best one I’ve had. Great playing, detailed explanations and camera angles. Absolutely recommended for fans of acoustic blues and, of course, Robert Johnson.

[@richdaigle3353]

I was very fortunate to have been involved in a 4 day workshop at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch, where Tom was one of 3 instructors, including Jorma himself. Aside from being a terrific teacher, he’s an even nicer person.

[@ashershetrit8721]

perfect!!!

[@rodsreel]

Open G tuning capo 2 kepps the tension down, same fingering. Its a lot of tension with any strings except real light gauge.

[@winstonchurchill624]

rodsreel if I want to tune up what gauge strings should I use?

[@TheMrcrazy711]

Winston Churchill .9’s or .10’s typically.

[@christopherdavison652]

Might try capo 2. Agreed, a lot of tension.

[@emilethrash2670]

@@winstonchurchill624 if your guitar has a pretty short scale ( like most small guitars ) you'll probably be fine with 11's when tuned to A. Tension is only higher on a few strings, and makes it way easier to play slide clean anyway.

[@TwEEzY205]

Wow!

[@raindogred]

Tried Tuning it in open A with old strings, was in open D..creeping that 1st string and thwaatttt..she busts. “thanks Tom” I said out loud haha

Great slide on the guitar...as good or better than Eric Clapton. ..Eric was the 1st person who i had heard do this tune. Fantastic demonstration Tom! Come and play in Knoxville, TN! At the Tn Theatre!

[@patrickmcgee4248]

My problem is slide thin are thick and where too find a top of the line slide

[@bobu5213]

Does anybody know how to get that slide run down so staccato? Do you mute the strings with your picking hand? at about 10:56

[@patrickmcgee4248]

And do you have a video on Crossroads

[@garygodfrey9708]

Good video, great playing thank you for the free lesson. I think I would play in a different tuning though, I think the Allman Brothers usually played in open E? The high tension sound of open A is not appealing to me at all...

[@chiefhalftown]

My early delving into parlor guitar open slide is going OK with the great help from Tom. But I"'m bothered by the E sting (.012) giving a somewhat buzzy tone on slide. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of trying a .013 there. Tom's action here seems lower than mine!

[@12Radius]

Do you know what fretboard radius that guitar has?

[@patrickmcgee4248]

Did you raise the action and what gauge strings?

[@valeriyblinov1573]

[@johnnysjazz7815]

Earliest Transcription Cutting Machines were 75 RPM. I remember that clearly. I have Seen the 300 Pound Acetate Cutters, and Allied Radio in Chicago sold a Acetate Record Cutter through their Catalogue in 1958. However my studies (Even though not Comprehensive) in Anthropology of Folklore had many mentions of the 1928 Field Recordings and the "Pitch Factor." Recorded at 75 RPM. On a 18 Inch Acetote Disk, then transfered to 78 RPM on Master Disc, caused a Pitch Factor.

[@michaelgeorge4826]

This guy is pretty good. But there's something about Robert Johnson's playing that almost makes it sound as if it was processed. Some supernatural fluidity and incredible phrasing. I just can't put my finger on it.

[@benjaminbenson3399]

Just take a quick trip, down to the crossroads. You'll be playin' with that ineffable feel too... (but it'll cost you lol)

[@michaelgeorge4826]

@@benjaminbenson3399 Nah, didn't work for me. Seems like the devil is one picky SOB.

[@patrickfoster4586]

I believe Robert's "almost A#" tuning can be attributed to the transfers of the original 75 rpm masters causing the pitch to be raised when played back. I think it's quite a safe assumption that he's tuned to regular A, or whatever the key of a particular song, when you come across these close to half step sharp recordings. Or maybe he did tune almost a half step sharp for some unknown reason but I doubt this is the correct explanation. Cheers! P[>

[@michaeltoner1993]

There has been a lot of speculation in the past about his records being sped/pitched up. This was apparently disproven by audio experts who isolated a humming present in the recordings and compared to other recordings from the same studio with the same hum. The frequency of the humming was the same across the board and matched the frequency of electrical mains.

[@LarryStallings-dk4rr]

do fred mcdowels going down to the river

[@JRobson1955]

The new theory is that his recordings were sped up which would raise the pitch. So the songs that sound like they're in "A" may have been in "G". When you listen to them slowed back to normal (if the theory is correct) they do sound significantly less "other worldly".

[@JRobson1955]

Look for RJ speed adjusted or corrected on YT. As a result of your comment to me I went back and checked one video on this topic.To the last the commentators believed the theory probable and like myself adopted a new perspective.

[@nicholasmarra6200]

J Robson I have read that as well but guys like Son House and even Honetboy Edward's played with Robert Johnson and they never challenged the recordings. plus back then guitarist would tune open for vocal approach they weren't as tied into the idea of Open E and Open D etc... it's not like they had guitar tuners.

[@jamesderoc6717]

but none of the ppl who actually played with rj say this. they say he sounds quite good on the recordings

[@Odin029]

I have to admit that I personally hate the speed change argument for Robert Johnson. I could go into different reasons why its probably nonsense, but one thing I'll point out is that Son House's 1930 recording of 'Walkin Blues' is also in the key of B. The tempo doesn't sound too different from Son's 1940s Library of Congress recordings so its not sped up or slowed down and his voice sounds like a young Son House.

[@DannyLovesJesus]

Whether it's correct or not, some of the slowed back songs of RJ do sound better.

[@DannyLovesJesus]

Sounds pretty good! A lot better than i can do that's for sure! Although, I'm not sure where the "down" in my kitchen part comes from? Your own little touch added perhaps?

[@executivesolutionsystemsllc]

[@stonepaintertim]

Wondering if there is more detailed information on the guitar Robert Johnson actually used when recording this song. All I ever heard was that he played a "parlor" guitar. Sounds to me as if he may have been playing a mahogany guitar, like a Gibson LG 1 or 2. .Anyone know what happened to his guitar after he was murdered?

[@matthewcannata5883]

Timothy Roepe There is no information hinting he ever played - in his professional career - with a parlor guitar. The two guitars that were in his possesion when he died were what was a gibson (though without the tradional gibson symbol that came later). The other was a kalamazoo. Those were the same guitars in both the photo of him sitting crosslegged and the other of him with the cigarette respectively.

[@matthewcannata5883]

There is also speculation he could have recorded and played with a resonator guitar, however, that's the most I know on that

[@pokemon2274]

Theres not alot of information on the guy at all about, Well anything really, Theres not even solid proof those two photographs are even of him. We think he probably recorded witha Gibson L-1, But it could have been anything

[@mysterylittlebhoy1482]

Those 2 photos are of Robert. Any "3rd photo" is most likely fraudulent
