In the 60's I studied acoustic Blues guitar with the late, great Philadelphia Jerry Ricks. When Mississippi John Hurt came to Philadelphia he would stay at. Jerry's house, as did many of the Blues greats. I had the honor and pleasure of meeting him on several occasions. A very nice man and a consummate artist.

I am here in my 60s, too. I have played piano since I was 12. I have tried my hand at acoustic guitar and a little at 3 pick banjo, but I just can't do it. There was never a greater acoustic picker than MJH. Sebastian can't do it; Richards can't do it ; Clapton can't do it. He was the greatest picker of all time. Love playing Richland County Blues on piano, though, still to this day.

I've learned so much from Happy Traum. I wish I could learn "Darlin' Companion" and Butchie's Tune " from John Sebastian.

That is not John Sebastian. I think it's his great-grandson. LOL Thank you for posting this beautiful lesson.

As a banjo player, this style of guitar playing suits me well. Here's my attempt at covering a Neil Young classic (Comes A Time) in a Mississippi John Hurt style: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m560knuBr8aZY6s

That Taylor guitar is ridiculous. Put your eyes out in the right light.
