Sweet Home Chicago (Robert Johnson cover)

This one always seems to go down well at gigs, I assume that it's because it was in Blues Brothers. 80s films seemed to pass me by, so the first time I heard it was on Robert Johnson's recording from 1936.

I'm surprised bro did it without selling his soul ☠️✅

[@davidbroad]

😆 The jury's still out on that...

Well, how do you really know though? I mean it IS a damn fine job!!

[@alexanderleshchenko2004]

Amazing cover! Absolutely stunning

[@guyberger4169]

Very Robert Johnson esq! Amazing 🤩 👍 .

[@davidbroad]

Thanks Guy!

[@Rectitude4U]

Easy to focus on your picking and overlook your voice. Which shouldn’t be overlooked. This is one of my favorites to play and sing.

Bravooooo ❤️ merci

Congrats Dave !! Very nice cover, thank you!!

Amazing cover man!!

[@stevenlangdon1078]

great job. I loved that!

[@giovannigiorgio1149]

Awesome cover!

[@NeoSeveune]

Absolutely stunning ! Acoustic Blues is my holy grail ! When I hear you fingerpicking performances, I always hope to be able to play them, even slower or less clean, but this one, I think it will remain a dream... Thanks for sharing !

[@davidbroad]

Haha, thanks man! It think it is achievable, actually it is easier to do this style with a thumbpick. By the way, don't know if you saw on instagram, but I'm looking for more Bob Dylan songs to play (as it's his big birthday). So if you have any requests, let me know!

[@NeoSeveune]

​@@davidbroad Ok, so I will try someday :) when my wrist tendonitis will have left me alone... Concerning Bob Dylan, I wonder what you would do on All along the watchtower ? (Sorry, I don't have an instagram account) And you have never covered any Eric Bibb song ? I think it would be great !

A song I first heard in this famous Blues Brothers movies. Difficult to play alone with a guitar. Such a fine playing. Well done. Big like 169

[@davidbroad]

Thanks man! Yeah I wondered why so many people knew this song, think it's because of the film.

[@zepp2498]

Oh, yes, it must be for the film, especially here ( in Frech speaking countries).

Great job! Sounds amazing brother ❤

Cheers Steve! Just stolen from Robert Johnson...

[@Coda6766]

@@davidbroad I'm currently taking guitar lessons. Sweet Home Chicago is the first song I learned. I had to refer to this video constantly at first so I could get the rhythm and timing right.

[@Coda6766]

@@davidbroad stolen or not, IMO this is the best version of the song. Robert Johnson gave this song to the world, you just put your style on it.

Can I post your version on KZbin? I've been working on it about a month. I got it down pretty damn good. I'd like your opinion on it. I can delete after you see it.
