Dark, haunting, and brilliant. He needs to make an album of songs like this. Voice, guitar, amp, and a microphone. That is all this man needs. Please J.D.- give us an album of old blues tunes reworked like this one.

[@lukefarwell5008]

Check is solo stuff it’s real good. I really like his stripped down live stuff.

[@afig2]

We need to give so serious credit to the sound tech(s) on this channel. Incredible!

[@ivanmontalvez7337]

Simo, we need a whole album like this

[@saviourofrockandroll]

Yes please!!!!

[@tonythue8113]

JD always pushing the limits...always reinventing. Absolute real deal. Keep shining.

[@richlather419]

I could listen to JD all day long. Hell, some days I do...

[@todddanielson1842]

I tip my hat JD, Wonderful performance and a great song. Thank you

[@fivewattworld]

Simply...amazing.

[@oleteigen7931]

Brilliant as always. J D for president!

[@brotherchunkymusic950]

This is the best version of this song I've seen JD play. I dig it !!

[@GIBKEL]

That’s the way to do it. Remember this great band out of Boston in the 80’s that lived in this vein.Treat Her Right.

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

Hit the nail on the head with that comment, good call!!

[@GIBKEL]

@@FromtheSoultotheFretboard Were you lucky enough to see them as a native? I was working in a record store(in nowhere Mt)...remember when you were so young and they’re was so much cool to discover? Well anyway, we would get these demos in along with our record orders and Treat Her Right’s first Lp release was one. It was so swampy....man it was great. I think The Replacement’s Please to meet me was also in that batch. My young heavy Metal brain got infected and my musical direction was changed almost overnight. Mt was just a day drive on the interstate between Minneapolis and Seattle and nobody ever bothered stopping by. What a shame. The only Punk show I was aware of was seeing was Fugazi play the basement of the AMVETS club in 91’? Nothing is as great as when you discover you know nothing and there’s generations of music you’ve missed. It happens to this day. An Eric Clapton 4 record retrospective Crossroads was released and I heard what else the guitar could do. I think it all started with Don Kirschner Rock Concert on a Friday night. DEVO comes out wearing cone shaped buckets on their head.I remember not knowing or understanding what I had just witnessed. Great memories! Love your YT moniker. I’m a fretboard junky that borders on the religious and fanatic. Just picked up a 34’ L00. Man, there are still some great guitars to get your hands on! JD is the real deal. What are you playing these days? Greetings and cheers!

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

Wow!! Love the vibe and dark emotion of the song. Bravo and Well Done Sir!!

[@DrChevChelios]

That is extremely powerful. So much talent.

[@stratjed]

Every time we see him he has a whole new look ! A modern Nashville legend .

[@jamz312]

Many moons ago Ed King told me you were the complete package. He hit a home run on that call. I love your singing and playing and I give you 2 thumbs up! Cool tuning!!

[@christophermccormack4529]

Dropped that Jaguar down from E to somewhere around B. That isn't dropping steps anymore, that's dropping flights of stairs. Playing it in E wouldn't have been half as haunting. Very nice as usual from JD.

[@jukejointjack]

I knew it was low down but damn that’s low down

[@johnr8820]

Dropping down flights of stairs 😂

[@desmo999]

Faaantastic, sound, played, performed!!!

[@stratmagic6893]

Who needs a band when you have JD.

[@byebyebeano8616]

Magnificent! John Lee Hooker all the way... Love it!

[@cesarebertagna9660]

Speechless.....

[@pauljcat1]

JD is getting better. he is finding that separation for sure………,,

[@lucasalvoni1986]

Great, great performance!

[@rickmoore7501]

holy shit ,they should give him the guitar after that performance.

[@no59do56]

I think he owns that jassmaster... although he bought it

[@Canada-gs3jc]

Amazing! So good 👍🏾

[@jensschettler1732]

Awesome tones. Performance is sublime...

Bad to the Bone! Dig It!

[@CS21dude]

So good

[@theaceofspadesjl]

Is that a jazzmaster with a HS config? That looks and sounds AWESOME

[@johnr8820]

I think he once called it the “Fuckherasscaster”

[@mercharris5266]

Love this channel

[@MrDinamitebla]

Oh my.....what a sound...... :O

[@PIPA1302]

jesus , i'm about to shit myself......what a tune from mr simo...

[@enjoyCarlos]

wow!

[@tidepoolbay]

Nice! WooF!! Is the Jazzmaster in the rhythm circuit?

[@ojaisherpa]

The four people who thumbs down should start a band The tasteless blunders

[@peterbrown2112]

Very nice

[@johnstasio6205]

No words

[@joewestau]

Sick 🤙🏻

[@pauljcat1]

I almost didn't tune in because I thought he was covering the Beatles Help , but WOW!

[@OIP_1]

this sounds like a cry for help

[@grant5603]

Damn what happened to him?

[@DrChevChelios]

Right? He gets better every time I see him. Crazy.

[@jonnybeck6723]

What the heck is he plunking on?... A Jazzmaster w/ Strat pups? and/or a baritone of some kind (?) ...somebody HELP me!

[@cjscala87]

God damn that is just vile !

[@tristanorecchioni2412]

That guitar sound comes from hell, or around

[@michaelmcneal7749]

Shiiiiiiitttttt........wow

[@nielsvanweert2789]

John Goodman

[@iiPotatoes]

Who in the fuck did he sell his soul to and how do I get in touch with them?

[@bluesful]

Tone!

[@wdye5150]

I'm gonna need some details about that Jazzmaster.

[@matthewcasey4795]

Its a baritone someone built for him. I think he calls it 'the fuckocaster' or something. Its on one of JD's greasytime videos on his KZbin channel.

[@613brownie]

The fuckasscaster

[@grant5603]

It’s a stretch to call it a jazzmaster

[@DrChevChelios]

It has our Honeybucker Plus humbucker in the bridge and our Royal singlecoil in the neck.

[@pabdiary]

@@613brownie 🤣

[@Vaughn6886]

Is the vocal only the one mic? The vox tone is thick as a brick. What mic is that?

[@ponchostevens]

We use Ear Trumpet Lab microphones!

[@CarterVintageGuitarsNashville]

Its a '65 Princeton Reverb

and what speaker in that Princeton Reverb?....anything else in the chain?

[@ponchostevens]

@@herk1 original speaker. No pedals.

[@jasonoak4564]

I think he's put on a hundred pounds since last time I seen him. Wow.

[@markmurino1576]

Why would you say something like that? Think before you speak.

[@smoochie3331]

He is American standard.

[@BrentSends]

Anyone know the tuning?

[@bawsack69]

Low!

[@Vaughn6886]

Sounds like a baritone, so I’m guessing close to B

[@burt2800]

This is phenomenal and I'm usually not into what I call boomer blues

[@pappyodanial]

I hope the shirt is Ironic. NPR just had a ex-CIA guy on talking about how to hunt Trump supporters in the coming years, using Tactics they used in the oil wars of Iraq. Song title is very suitable. God help this country.
