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.

[@snakehips81]

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.

West Winds ......Did robert write it? i just learned there was another Johnson blues guitar player in 1920s or before rumors confused the 2 men and the highway 41....

[@Brembelia]

"Dust My Broom" is a blues song originally recorded as "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" by American blues artist Robert Johnson in 1936. It is a solo performance in the Delta blues-style with Johnson's vocal accompanied by his acoustic guitar. As with many of his songs, it is based on earlier blues songs, the earliest of which has been identified as "I Believe I'll Make a Change", recorded by the Sparks brothers as "Pinetop and Lindberg" in 1932. Johnson's guitar work features an early use of a boogie rhythm pattern, which is seen as a major innovation, as well as a repeating triplets figure. "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" was issued before blues records were tracked by recording industry trade publications and, as with most of Johnson's recordings, has not been otherwise identified as a big seller at the time.However, Elmore James' 1951 recording as "Dust My Broom" "made it the classic as we know it", according to blues historian Gerard Herzhaft.[1] James' slide guitar adaptation of Johnson's triplet figure has been identified as one of the most famous blues guitar riffs and has inspired many rock performers. The song has become a blues standard, with numerous renditions by a variety of musicians. It also has been selected for the Blues Foundation Blues Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame, and the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry."I've never seen anything that definitively says where the original song, I Believe I'll Make A Change, came from. Music houses of that time didn't keep records of such things. The above is pretty much the official version of things. Unless someone can definitely come up with either a recording, sheet music, or some other historically accurate evidence, then the official story remains as above (with no mention of any other Johnson, (Robert or otherwise,) being involved. I read something similar about there being another Robert Johnson, but it said that this second Robert Johnson was a guitarist of that same time frame who had nothing to do with the songs now attributed to Robert LeRoy Johnson whose recordings we have today. Personally, I thought this other R. Johnson was just an unsubstantiated rumor and I've never really believed that there was anything to demonstrate that he ever or even existed. History has long accepted Robert LeRoy Johnson as the one who took an earlier song, modified it enough to make it his own (triplets), and recorded it as the one we now have by him. Elmore James came along later, adapted this RLJ song and rendered a slide version that became extremely popular such that later rockers have adapted it for their own modern use. What we are looking at is the musical evolution of a song. ***

I'm a blues fan from way back when, and I always wondered about the significance of a guy who's going to 'dust my broom'. Then I caught it on a live Howlin' wolf recording. He worked hard all day, and came home to a dirty house. He said "baby, why don't you clean up around here? She said "clean it up yourself!". So he kicked her out and dusted off the broom, because sweeping the kitchen is a lot easier than putting up with a lazy woman!

Dust my broom means that your leaving town and not coming back

[@KiranDigavalli]

Nearly 11 years later and I still find myself coming back to this video from time to time. What a spectacular rendition!

[@randykintzley5923]

One of great things about Elmore that gets over looked is that great rock n roll voice. This cover works so well because it shares that element (along with some fantastic low-down greasy slide playing)

[@xiconp1993]

You play the song as if you own it. Loved watching you play this, and the guitar adds an extra taste to it. Good work.

[@TheRealDadfad]

Great voice and accurate rendition of the tune. ) B/t/w... The name of the National guitar model is pronounced "Du-O-lian." (I own a 1937 Duolian and a 1938 Style-O.)

This man is doing what a professional artist would pay three carts of gold and fifteen years off their lives to do in a studio, in his little office space recording by himself.

[@Erik-qi3dz]

You gave me the chills man..

[@jimgamble2429]

Thank god for people like you who can perpetuate this fantastic genre.

[@VioletGiraffe]

I like this cover so much! Both playing and singing. This is really high quality piece of art. Thanks a lot for sharing it!

[@GeoffreyUrch]

So nice, Your voice reminds me of the late great Rory Gallagher and your playing is amazing !

[@williamfreed6670]

I've said this before, Damn right. My neighbors like it too. They keep wavy their fists any singing with me. Thanks 😊. Your good

[@fjcara]

Just saw this for my first time. Great player; good valance in your playing. Very cool collectible guitar, excellent sound for one that old. Thanks for making my day a bit brighter.

[@mrmemyselfandi9609]

HOLY SHIZ!! HAD NO IDEA that was coming! It's a beautiful thing when a personality that big comes through music.

[@prodbylofi17]

Seems like he travelled from 1933, unexpected voice! Man!

[@leoncontorno6763]

Nice old bird! I've got a 1936 "Lumalite" Dobro which I love and adore. Great playing, son!

Son ? I'm 48yrs old.

[@neogeoriffic]

@@snakehips81 I was referring to the guitar! Lol

[@snakehips81]

@@neogeoriffic That doesn't even make sense. You were referring to the guitar, when you said "son" ?

[@ItsonlyaKangaroo]

God damn! The tone on that thing is amazing. Did you change strings before recording or is it always that punchy when you play it. The sound hit my face so hard my nose bled. Also your voice is really killer!

[@snakehips81]

Wow ! That's a great compliment, thanks ! These guitars are usually as punchy as this, especially when played with finger and thumb picks, with a decent amount of attack to the playing, and decent heavy strings. I used D'Addario 13-56 strings - the coated ones (XP range, I think). Cheers !

[@snakehips81]

Hi all ! Watch out for a new video coming soon. It will be if a 1933/4 National Polychrome Triolian 12 fret neck body and with rolled F-Holes, like the Duolian in this video.

[@fractionalist]

Can't wait!

[@OdySlim]

[@snakehips81]

I posted some videos of this Triolian over 2yrs ago ! See here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3WoaH2LpJV1gMk And : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIu6lGNnlqaApdE Actually, I sold that guitar recently !!! I bought a 1931 National Polychrome Triolian UKULELE ! Not got it yet - BUT there will be a video soon !!! (if you can wait !)

[@fractionalist]

Can't wait! Hey! How about some foot stompin' hand clappin' Southern Gospel tune, and checkout Garifuna music...

[@randygumaer282]

You just gave me a sugar rush of blues, now I'll need a rendition of Robert Johnson's "C'mon On Into My Kitchen" for the crash to let me down easy.

[@dontgoout1434]

Wow so many do this much better flat singing . Best slide is cal reason cd. robert johnson and more . Hes massive now . Im sure you can track that disc down.
