It's both surprising and unsurprising to see a Scotsman play and SING the Blues so well. After all, the Southern American accent plays a small part, which came from the British/Scottish accent. And Britain had a huge love for the Blues in the 50's and 60's, which is how Rock and Metal came into existence. Pink Floyd was originally a blues band if I remember right. Shame Britain has lost that.

Thanks ! It does sound busier/fancier than it really is. Each note in a chord is emphasised a bit more individually by playing one slightly after the other, than strummed together. This fills out the sound more - but I'm just staggering the individual chord notes out. Plenty of hammer-ons, pull-offs AND letting open strings ring out between notes and/or during chord changes - so that something is always happening. When you break it down, it's not as complicated as it seems, ONCE you understand what I'm doing BUT trying to explain it makes it sound even more complicated than it is !! Keep playing - because it all adds up to a be a better player.

@@snakehips81 i know the elmore version very well. i'll throw it up to modesty, which is worth a lot, but your technicality in playing and voice are what makes this truly exceptional. you captured what this song is about in a way that very, very few can. hats off. i come back to this often.

Great performance. The intensity, funk and drive you put in are what really makes it. I've heard lots of covers of this song, and a lot them don't make it because the performance is too timid. I also really liked the ending slide flourish.
