  1. Thanks Max! I don’t know, it’s an old no name ladder braced guitar.

  2. Oh Man,this guitar have a lots of Mojo!!!!This sound is so authentic!!!What brand of guitar is?

  3. Wow! I’m used to John Hurt’s very mellow treatment of this. I never heard Fred’s version till now. It’s a revelation. Well played! Thanks for posting. Dave

  4. Thank you very much! I’m not sure now. I’ve got some requests for different songs played slow down. Thanks.

  5. Great!!

    Could you show that song (or part of it) played slowed down?
    Thank you so much for all your videos.

  6. Very very good cover, i feel like traveling from France to Mississippi …

    I am working this song too, love open D tuning !!

  7. Compliments from one of the top YouTube Bluesmen is a great honour. Thank you!

  8. Thank you. I look forward to seeing and hearing it. You got such a good bite on it, it would be a shame not to produce a full perfomance. Enjoy.

  9. Nice. I would encourage you to record the whole song including the vocals. You got the arrangement down cold. I love the power and conviction in your playing. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.
