A delta blues classic, Hard time killing floor blues by Skip James. This was originally recorded in 1931. This is my instrumental slide guitar take on this song. I play a 1908 Levin model 2 for the accompaniment and a 1952 Levin Ideal for the slide part. The guitars are tuned to open D minor, also known as crossnote tuning. The model 2 has been restored by Roger Häggström at gammelgura.se.
