Guitar Tutorial - Love in Vain by Robert Johnson

I’ve been asked several times to put up tutorials on how I play some blues songs, so I thought I’d give it a shot! I hope this helps!

As a 71 year old Delta blues nut and avid finger picker. I couldn’t be happier than to see a young man like you Daniel embracing this music. I hope you turn on more young people to this fantastic and fundamental music.

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Thank you! It is truly the best music and I hope that through people like us who still love it and share it, it will keep growing in reach!

@@danielbyrdmusic8824 have you searched the Blues Trail through Mississippi etc. my wife and I traveled from London to do it 7 years. Great adventure.

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

@@niguel4438 not yet! It’s definitely on my bucket list! I’ve been to the Delta of Mississippi before but have yet to do the trail. I would really like to one day!

I am 74 and an avid guitar player since a teen n a KZbin addict and let me say that your playing and teaching method is refreshing and wonderful. I only just discovered you tonight and I am familiar with all the tube teachers. ( I am a huge fan of many of them including Justin …. Andy … James James … Kirby … Marty Music & even Party Marty ... to name a few thnx to them all too ) Subscribed n liked. P.S. I know many are headless but this face to face I like more and I still see the hands n finger action just fine. Please don’t change anything 🎉 👍 it all works

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m glad that you liked it! Thank you for subscribing!!

Thank you! I most certainly will keep these coming!

Really great well done enjoyed listening

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@kenhudson7925]

Came across this and drifting blues and thought you did excellent job especially the break down very detailed always had trouble with others explanations but this is a style that I love but is new to me

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy both of them and I hope they help!

[@mikemoodie]

Beautifully played. Love it!

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Not only are you a Natural born guitar player but you are a Naturally gifted teacher - - - and to top it off you have an UNnatural reverence for the past classics!!! That makes you really special and a find ! And YES, we did learn guitar to impress the chicks n be cool .... in the beginning anyway ...but we did find out later in life what a great friend the guitar can be .... lifelong. Love your respect and fondness for the past ..... especiallly pleasing coming from a young person. Keep your vids just like this one. BTW ... have you ever seen a player named Naudo on youtube? You should! He does gigs in Tenerife .... check him out.

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Thank you again for the kind words! No, I have not, but I certainly will check him out!

68 yes old....thank-you so much for your interpretation. Broke new ground playin' and singn'

Excellent lesson. Thanks!!

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@SNG-tf6ly]

Went looking for a Love in Vain tutorial, as I also enjoy RJ's music and found your version, wow just great. I liked your teaching style, was good to follow. This lead me obviously to all your music which I'm no doubt going to enjoy. So thank you for what you've done thus far. I'll also put my hand up for more RJ tutorials and also maybe some bottleneck blues. Cheers 😀

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

I’m glad this one was helpful! I’ll be getting to more Robert Johnson tutorials here soon and I’ll throw in some bottleneck songs as well!!

Just subscribed after learning your Ramblin on My Mind song in Open D..any chance you could do a Tutorial on your Howlin Wolf Killing Floor song? No biggie if not,, really digging your song selection. This Love in Vain tutorial is really great and easy to follow--thanks much.

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Yeah, I think I can do that! I’ll have to get to it soon!

[@billr2375]

@@danielbyrdmusic8824 That would be great when you're able to, and be very much appreciated. Let me know how I can tip you for it. Many Thanks

[@guitarlick]

Thanks for the tutorial much appreciated, but how do you end the song ie after the final turn around?

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Usually, I either go back to the I chord (in this case an A7) or I slide up to it from a half step down (so in this case it would be from low E to high E a x-0-1-1-1-2 then slide up to x-0-2-2-2-3)!

[@nicedog1]

I'm not sure if I could handle some of those stretches.

[@danielbyrdmusic8824]

Yeah, admittedly the stretches in this one are tough! It took me a long time to get my hands to do them 😅
