"He didn't put sugar on it, he just played it." -BB King, on Lightnin Hopkins. Could also be said for Edward. Keep'em coming.

[@patrickzander3102]

Plain & simple, keepin' the "real" Blues alive, no excessively inflated production, just stickin' to the roots. Love it!

[@nicolen.9642]

So true 👍

[@maxim_edavidwild9734]

This sounds so awesome. Great guitar sound, great voice and, of course, phenomenal guitar playing.

[@j1w2t3]

dang Edward that move at 1:28 is about faster than the camera

[@jasonhuber8663]

I love your music..!! It is pleasing to the ear..!! And the soul... Blues is my music of choice and I've seen many artists turn their hand to the blues and you are one of the best.. I appreciate your style of vintage blues.. Well done yet again..!!

[@stevengraham5454]

Perfect

[@jasonhuber8663]

I would love to see this broken down into a "lesson"..

[@ernestturner915]

Amen

[@SweetChicagoGator]

I surely would love to know how to play this tune ! 🤠

[@wapudblues]

Like all of the rest of the great blues men and past and present blues guitarist; learn it by ear ourselves 😇. I’ll definitely have to give it a try 😇.

[@allmendoubt4784]

Open G, for your basic rhythm (5th string), fills slide up to 3rd fret on high strings, bass fills between 3rd & 5th, IV V chords barre 7th/ 5th fret add a top E on your pinky 3 frets from the barre. Better with a slide tho because you can harness 12th fret fills, it's a standard 12 bar - you can work it out.

[@boataxe4605]

Buy a guitar, get a mojo hand, and make a deal with the devil.

[@TerroYoung]

Very talented

[@lagoonrd4173]

Dude this is good!!! No extra bullshit added.... true sound of guitar amp and singer

[@draug7966]

Sounds great as usual, i love that you never turn fairly basic songs like this in to some crazy shred fest, i mean you´re probably more than skilled enough to do that, but you don´t cause it would kill the feel of the song. Also, that´s one gorgeous guitar.

[@andrebanville2343]

🖤👌🤘🤘

[@TheMidnightModder]

It sounds like your singing has greatly improved since I last heard you!

[@josephgrant757]

Lightning Hopkins would be proud of you brother!

[@randysix8550]

Can you do some Blind Willie Johnson? Maybe Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground OR Nobody's Fault But Mine? I would love some Mississippi Fred McDowell, too.

[@offcenterprofilepicture6274]

m o i s t

[@anthonysmyth2392]

What tuning is that?

[@sonnyarmintrout6918]

what is the tuning of your guitar?

[@pauljanisch2825]

Is that in Open E

[@richardcrilley11]

I bet you would increase your subscribers exponentially if you included a lesson with these. I think they are great, but I would like to try some of this. I bet others would agree.
