    you made this an own version of the song. not easy, given the bigger than life original and cover versions that are around. the unintentional "vintate" sound adds a lot to the charm

    thanks for listening. Yes, the guitar solo, in particular, is partly my own. It was inspired from the intro of the original Love In Vain by Robert Johnson and built upon on the spot. It was not planned out beforehand just simply played off the cuff through inspiration. Johnson’s did not have a guitar solo, as you may remember.

    Really, quite nice.
    Evokes an air of another time – another place.
    I like some of your changes in the tune.
    One or two sound like your own adaptation – nice.

    Very nicely done. Would you be willing to share the tuning you are using? Keep up the good work.

    Thanks for the compliment. Using the word spooky makes me think you’re comparing my version to the original recording by Mr RJ himself. That is awesome.

    Very well done; spooky even. I would rate it 4.5 but it won’t let me. But not quite a 5: there is a lot of competition. One of the best versions I’ve heard yet. I love the way you hit the bottom string. Your arrangement shows your rich plucking skills.

    Wow – that’s fantastic! Very authentic. I just did a cover of the Stones version, but this is the real deal right here.

    I read somewhere that RJ would play with his back to people so they couldn’t steal his style. When he made his recordings, he sat facing the wall - he thought it made a better sound as well.. don’t know if that’s true or not, I just read it somewhere and thought it was interesting..

    like bollocks it is, he singing in Falsetto. In a similar style to Sam Collins and King Solomon Hill who were Both big influences to Robert Johnson.
