How to play Devil Got My Woman by Skip James

[@nathanielharrison4396]

Yeah you rock, great lesson and no nonsense video, none of this talking for 3 minutes at the start, accurate cover and a bonus visual tab overlay.

[@RefugeeRadioUK]

Dude: this is by far the most helpful guitar video on youtube. I have never seen anyone do it like this before. I would pay for more

[@itsianlol]

I've been working on this for about 3 months now. I can play it, but there's no way I can sing it simultaneously yet. I wanted to come back and give you my sincere thanks for taking the time to record and post this. I really appreciate it. This song rings out in the dark quiet nights in my apartment building, drifting out into the evening air. It's interesting to think about the history of this tune, how you can to play it, and now I can play it in my town too. Thanks again!

[@chrisrose5885]

Can you sing it yet? 😆 I still can't...

[@alwilks00]

Imagine if all instructional videos for guitar on youtube were this good. Great song and an excellent demonstration.

[@triconehead]

I mostly do just fine learning learning new tunes from tab alone, but once in a while I like having certain passages spoon fed to me. I consider this the best visual spoon feed I've seen so far.

[@richardworth350]

This is really a fantastic contribution to world culture- you are a curator of an important tradition

[@stevengarside]

Fabulous lesson. You have captured all the strangeness and texture of the original - must have been an ordeal to tab! Will do my best to get stuck into this. Many thanks for your generosity!

[@enricomariani3735]

I'm not a serious guitar player but this performance is the most accurate I've ever listened, it's really faithful to the original.

[@arthurkrems]

standing ovation. what a gift to everyone who's tried to squint their ears through the surface noise.

[@EXelu1]

Thank you for taking the time to learn this song!!! I was introduced to this song from the film Ghost World. (Pretty great film I'd recommend it) I've never heard something quite like it before, the tuning adds such a different feel and its truly amazing. RIP Skip James!

[@kargocult]

This is probably the most educational and inspirational guitar video i have seen.

[@kalikandaki]

Absolutely perfect you make it so easy to learn this song, the tabs and the playing at the same time nothing can beat that. Thanks so much.

[@methinks5310]

This is so well done! Thanks for everything here. You helped me learn to play this with Skip James’ authentic chords and picking.

[@wheninroamful]

Very impressed. I think ALL songs to learn should have the tabs on screen with the moving indicator!! Well, done. One of the best vids on this song and to learn for sure. You earned a sub, excited to look around your page. Skip is the man!

[@Ganzie2000]

No nonsense lesson. Thumbs up. I love this version.

[@wychwoodmusic]

Whoa, this actually puts this astonishing song in my grasp. Thanks!

[@SeventhHarmonic]

The best guitar tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks a ton for this

[@snakehips81]

Great video presentation, showing where and when th relevant notes are. Never seen it displayed in such a clear and readable way as this before. I've been playing this song a bit different to you (see my most recent youtube posting, if you have time). Think I can see a number of areas where what you are playing sounds much closer to the original than what I have managed. Thanks for this !!

[@gregbluesland9410]

Now that sounds incredibly accurate to me, great video.

[@junoreactor11]

Amazing lesson. The way it perfomed is quite easy to understand.

[@kargocult]

What beautifully complex rhythms.

[@ghostinmagic]

Never seen a better way to teach an instrumental

[@CADD1EBLUES]

Brilliant , thank you for posting this!

[@ryeinaldobettahavmamony7656]

I haven't seen anything like this. Thanks a lot. Pretty amazing.

[@ossuary1982]

Wow this is precisely messy and perfectly orchestrated chaos!

[@PerroQNoLadra]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@mtaylor9941]

Endless thanks to you for these sweet videos!

[@laca01e]

Mi canción favorita de skip.

[@gruppo1luglio677]

Thank you million times

[@claudialenoir9783]

I'm trying to learn from this video and I really appreciate your hard work. Is there a tab I can follow? My memory isn't good enough to remember all of this. Anyone, please? This version sounds most authentic.

[@kywayne8394]

this is like the great white buffalo of guitar lesson videos.

[@1964atomic]

Excellent. This has really helped me! Thank You.

[@shitstormbringer]

amazing

[@guitargirlutube]

more of these lessons please! !!

[@thelolmaster1997]

The bit at 3:59 sounds so epic

[@CC-jg2tt]

Incredible..thanks man.

[@mannequinplayer]

awesome video, thanks for making this! I think it would really help people if you included a link to the tab to print out as well! thanks again!

[@d.cypher2920]

hoegaardenzo ......probably help if he came over to your house, and moved your fingers to appropriate position, strummed for you, etc. you have to do some of the work...[btw there is a tab.....printed right on the screen during video, just 'pause' ]

[@d.cypher2920]

Bash Nova yep, just as you are....and he was. It's a VERY well put together lesson, and for serious players, it's all you need. Perhaps you should be practicing instead of handing out free negative opinions. I was being a bit dickish...yes, because there's always someone who doesn't like it...for some reason.

[@hayley2516]

Thank you so much! This is so beautiful and helpful.

[@leefrank5332]

excellent !

[@vincenzomarino3876]

Amazing tutorial! Make more man :D

[@SquireStrat420]

Thanks man, amazing tabs along with the video.

[@christopherkellett4597]

awesome tutorial

[@84BruceW]

Thank you.....just, Thank You.

[@dinkopetrov5154]

this is so good thank you the video is great very easy to learn this way

[@darkcnotion]

Great work!

[@cortezcortez739]

How do you get this tab into your video and synchronize it with your playing? Thanks for the wonderful lesson!

[@matsa2620]

Very good video!

[@lesterlenoff7279]

Is the tuning on this DADFAD? Thanks I'm working through the tab of Hard Time Killing Floor Blues and it is nothing short of fabulous!

[@MrTrudac]

Exellent!

[@garrettbaker2320]

Folks that post tutorials should use this as a boilerplate. Awesome!!!!

[@paperwasp99]

That was epic

[@simonezaro8314]

Could I ask you what is the exacr beat rate? Thanks for this video.

[@garethjones3227]

Sounds like a powertab recording you play it so dead on

[@lubnamohammed9389]

u saved me

[@robotzs3811]

THX a lot! but it is practically impossible to sing over this base!

[@straycats2152]

The tune is open D?

[@amongusstudio8768]

No. Open D Minor.... DADFAD

[@straycats2152]

thanks!

[@hustlinc3540]

you can know all the notes but you'll never be able to play it. this song and the vocals are untouchable, so why even bother. Just listen,admire and respect.

[@ABQUINOCSO]

very well done this deserves a biscuit

[@sauroros]

ghost world brought me here

[@Rino88dotcom]

Excellent lesson, but the sound of that spruce top is far too bright for this song. :)
