There is a black-white video he's playin take me back but i dont mean that one. It was not black and white, instead brown ,white and black...That version took me away. I can't find it on youtube anymore....

Hey, i didnt understand why did they give me 2 poor comment marks too :) Lightnin' also plays close to the fretboard with his rhythm hand (right). He has many secrets. But i've discovered all of them. I can control my right leg without a problem but it's hard to control your left leg when doing that thumb style. But if you can coordinate your left leg with your right thumb you play without a mistake and without missing the rhtyhm.

oh youll get no disagreement from me. i love that song, took me about a year to figure out how to play it right though :-P it's just E, A, B7 but the drive with his thumb and the pull offs make it incredible. you should check out Guitar Workshop's videos about slow blues in E and A if you haven't already, they'll help you immensely in learning his style. nothing helps as much as just constantly listening to the music, though!

I think he's in standard tuning maybe a semitone lower. What might be confusing you is that he is fretting two strings with his second finger. He plays the E chord by fretting 4th and 5th strings at second fret both with his 2nd finger. Then the B7 chord fretting 5th and 6th strings with the same finger. Big Bill Broonzy did the same thing.

i just like it because it's so out of step with his other stuff. same key, sure, but mance lipscomb said in his autobiography "lightnin only plays two songs!" alot of my favorites are the ones where he breaks out of his perfectly honed slow E mold, check out "wonder why" and "walkin' blues" for two more like that. isn't the version of "lightnin's boogie" on that dvd jaw-dropping, too?

watch him carefully since 04:00 Look at his left leg and thumb finger. They're connected to each other. I've discovered that left leg and thumb finger has a cooperation between each other. If you want to play like this you should concentrate on your left leg which does the rhythm part.
