Robert Johnson Crossroads Blues acoustic cover - slide (no vocals)

My version of crossroads blues Robert Johnson on acoustic using a wooden slide,
I learned this from the intro to the crossroads film, I think its Ry Cooder playing it but not too sure.... isn't quite perfect as the films audio distracts me.
Never gonna get it note for note from the original but hey.... at least i still got my soul!!

[@Noodlerification]

Really enjoyable. I always hear one of those licks as 'i feel so lonesome' 0:04-0:06.

[@deece1981]

I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees Asked the Lord above, have mercy now, save poor Bob if you please Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down I believe to my soul now, po' Bob is sinkin' down You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress

[@MrPMarcus]

How did you tune the guitar? witch note and such? :)

[@michaelwilliams9278]

Dude this was dope as fuck

[@kaiserjohns2494]

Can u do a turial.on this song

[@colonelsanders347]

What long fingers you have

[@dylanmadigan2643]

How did you learn this? By ear? Or is there a tutorial or tab somewhere? What tuning are you in? And is your capo on the second or third fret?

[@deece1981]

Learned it by ear from the introduction of the film crossroads, the capo is on the 2nd fret and I'm in open GThanks for listening

[@yosrylenggu6579]

There's no tab on that song hehehe. Kidding

[@Lowizz]

Open G#

[@mortenrobinson]

Deal with the devil?

[@fjag2001]

Robert debe estar mirando hacia arriba pensando: "uhmmm este chico acaba de vender su alma!!.."

[@Noodlerification]

How long would you say it'd take to learn the first 50 seconds for an intermediate but non-slide (usually) player?

[@deece1981]

Well I have played with slides on and off for a while, took me a few days hard graft to get this. But practise makes perfect (and I am still practising it ;)

[@mrjasondylan]

Just to get competent on the slide alone before learning the tune is a good few months I've played guitar 40 years and only started playing slide about 3 years ago and I'm only now getting decent on the slide. Good luck I'd say with a lot of practice 6-12 months .

[@3fed506]

what strings?

[@euvouestarla2110]

Tabs Please! Congratulations!!!!

[@marktaylor3809]

i guess thats why they call it the blues

[@boxcuber]

the crazy part is the original "robert johnson" in the 1920's or something how did he learn how to play that in those days? or was blues already perfected like that?

[@SuperMarlinsfan]

BoxCuber it’s obvious. He sold his soul

[@wolftitanreading5308]

hey I wanted to ask and get permission could I use this guitar solo go a reading it's about tommy Johnson (the original seller of his soul to play the guitar) and about how he sold his soul sadly i can't find instrumentals of his song but i was wondering if I could use this it would work well with the tale.

[@deece1981]

You can use it for me, I don't know where you stand about copyright.

[@wolftitanreading5308]

I was going to make sure you got credit and I beleive if you get permission from the person who made it you are clear since you made the vjdeo

[@beeceuk]

Go for it then

[@wolftitanreading5308]

It's on my channel check it out if you want

[@12Radius]

clapton who !?

[@alexfuller9379]

Honestly bro must have went down to the crossroads..

[@ericjohnson3336]

The tabs I read were wrong lmao

[@1997wogboy]

robert johnon played with classic guitar or acoustic???

[@michaelcommodari8223]

1997wogboy acoustic

[@DoctorDjow]

Fault in the one finger at the start, and extra finger at the end... sorry my bad english I'm brazilian but I'm nigga

[@hemigod2]

Oh it’s a very difficult rhythm to cover was a potion for part of the song as well nice try though

[@devindash3095]

Meh. Paint by numbers. No dynamics, no vibrato. Weak cover but at least you tried.

[@deece1981]

I will look forward to your cover of this Devin, you can show me how it should be done!!!!

[@mavrike296]
