Last clip from my thesis film about blues great Robert Johnson. This clip shows Robert as a young man studding hard, learning how to play the guitar from Ike Zinneman. The locations are a street corner and rent party. The last scene is a flashback to the crossroads… the myth of how he became a great guitarist. As with the first two clips Roberts life is told through the eyes of Son House.

  16. He might have already made that deal at the crossroads before he met Ike. He got ability from the devil, but his style derived from Ike. That’s my opinion.

  17. This short film of yours is absolutely awesome, man! Congratulations, Glenn! I love Blues and, of course, the legendary Robert Leroy Johnson along with the others blues masters. I’m not a native american, actually, I’m from Peru, so sorry if my English’s not as well as it should be, hehehe. Well, after having watched your movie, I really got my ears on the version of "Hellhound on my trail", so emotional, so powerful. Please, can you tell me where I find it? See you, man.

    Alberto.
