Demo of a vintage National Duolian from 1933. Playing Elmore James version of Dust My Broom. Seeing as I keep getting asked this : 1. Its played in Open D tuning, in the key of D 2. I do not own this guitar any more – I sold it for a nicer one, then I sold that to buy a Hammond organ (A100) and a National Resophonic M1 Tricone resonator guitar (wood body).

    Don´t worry about the disliker, they´re just damn jealous of your guitar mojo. They say nobody knows what the guitar mojo really is, but if someone got it, you can tell.

    I believe I speak for the rest of your fans here when I say you definately got it.

    I think that’s the best sounding guitar I’ve ever heard in my life! Tremendous slide/fingerstyle playing…thank you for posting this !

    only reason i can think of people not liking it is because of the finger picks and they’re expecting bare fingers.
    I don’t think that though. Great playing, great singing (I’m reallllllly picky with singing, take it as a high compliment)

    Your singing is real good, much more than I expected. I don’t pretend to know anything, but perhaps the playing is a bit too "wild". I’m sure you’re much better by now though.
    In any case, you got my thumb-up 🙂

    do not get caught up in petty differences OF playing styles. blues purists LOVE to BS about how things SHOULD be played. well, they SHOULD be PLAYED ANY OLE WAY YOU WANT! THAT’S WHAT THE BLUES IS ALL ABOUT. People who waste your time with such pettiness are simply JEALOUS. Ignore them and do whatever you like my friend, you’ve proven without a shadow of a doubt that you know what you’re doing 🙂

    You’re a very, very good player and singer. The reason why you got a few dislikes is probably because you are playing a very fast and energized blues, not everyone likes it. I for one am still learning, and recieved a few criticisms from blues purists for playing with too much energy – and I’m not even remotely fast as this! BTW, I heard your other videos and I like the more emotional playing of the last ones, good job.
