How To Fingerpick Like Mississippi John Hurt: Frankie

[@schwartzenheimer1]

Thank you, especially for identifying the tuning. Great lesson..

Thank you for posting this!!! I have been playing Mr. Hurt's music for years, and always thought "Frankie" was unattainable. Your video and an hour later, and I got it down.

Thank you! This connects the dots on so many levels.

Thank you! I remember being mesmerized by this song the first time I heard it on the Anthology of American Folk Music and I still am to this day. You did a great job if breaking it down. Your Aint No Tellin lesson is also fantastic. Keep em coming!

Nice stuff Peter. Its a tricky tune to get the syconpation on. But once you have it, its a joy to play and just somehow runs under your fingers like water.

Absolutely love it! So glad to stumble upon your page, I haven't seen you since the debut of Another Kind of Blue a few years ago... Love the channel and you have a new subscriber!

Thank you.

Hey there, I've got questions about the key of this song. Everything you said about the tuning sounds right to my ear, but I feel like I get closer to the tuning of the original when I also capo up on the 4th fret. I assume you have it capo-less because you have a deeper voice than Hurt. Edit: I'm listening to the 1928 version

Do you pick with your ring finger?

[@PeterKeaneMusic]

No just thumb index and middle

[@roadrashroy5334]

@@PeterKeaneMusic Thank You!

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

Use an acoustic guitar, lose the thumbpick and it might sound a bit like Mississippi John Hurt.

Thanks Hans!
