    I wonder if Vestapol can easily be played in the standard tuning.

    Hi Stefan. I used to go to your shop in Cambridge, and Larry Unger was my teacher. I recently got back in touch with him, and am enjoying seeing your videos, and so glad I have learned some of this old blues.. You are a good man
    Peace Always,
    Eddie

    How? Who knows? Black people were open. Just because you’re black it doesn’t mean all you can be is ‘black’. "Yeah, there was this cool looking black guy, i figured he’s probably listening to reggae or soul, but check this out! He was listening to Mozart! it was unbelievable!"

    Great to see these vids – I got Stefans vinyl Blues guitar and Ragtime guitar records about 40 years ago – they were the best thing available at that time and th tabs were very clear.

    G is still out of tune but it’s okay. Sounds good.
