- Simply the most sublime piece of slide guitar originally performed by Ry for the film Crossroads. No tabs yet but may be in the pipeline. Enjoy
Lots of towns, lots of songs, lots of women. Good times, bad times. All I want anybody to say is he could play, he was good.
Totally on the money. Love that movie
Crossroads!.....
Yep ...Important movie for me...
This should've been played on a telecaster
but Ry originally played it on a DImebag signature Dean with Bareknuckle Warpigs?
Scar Face crossroad movie
I often chuckle about the dislike votes. But now I am just amazed that a handful of people can't appreciate this for what it is, an amazing piece of slide blues.
blues ain't nothin but a good man feeling bad and thinking about the woman he loves.
Oh fucking too true, from a UK guy who loved his woman and guitar slide
''a man with a whole lotta sense once said, that; ''the blues aint nothin but a good man feelin bad...thinkin bout the woman he once was with.'' {end quote} when i was twelve years old, my dad rented that movie and it so completely changed my life, and eventually my new name was given by the same man... and it was then... that night, that i took my emerson tape recorder jam box thingy, and sat it in front of the television speaker when everyone had gone to bed, and recorded onto two 90 minute maxell cassettes... THE ENTIRE MOVIE... CROSSROADS. and i was obsessed with the mystery and the magic of the spiritual treasures that where unearthing themselves before my very ears... and i would listen... and listen some more... when i went to bed... when i went to shit... when i was in a good mood ... or a bad one... when i was trying to impress my friends with this gospel according to the blues man... and eventually alienating myself from all of the people in my life except the pickers that my dad played with in all the smoky shithole churches and neon temples of a higher spiritual plane... and every lost and forsaken love, and every disappointment, and every tragedy, and every search for ''something'' ended up not in vain, because of the comforting balm of the music and way of life that this road map to a deeper wisdom i had found within the screenplay and prophecies were leading me toward... and at any given moment from that night with my first revelation given to me by my dad and silver screen video rentals, would have allowed me to pass from this world and this life, with a fullness and completeness knowing that i had found what most spend their whole lives searching for, yet never find... i wonder if my old pappy actually knew that he had given me this, but then i think... he probably knew that because he hed given me practically everything else that was dear and sacred to me, so why not this also? #ILOVEYOUPOP
JAY INGRAM thx for sharing that. This opened my mind as a kid also and turned me on to Delta blues and my understanding of it. It was life changing for me as well.
Indeed
Yup
almost 13 years on youtube, i have heard it over and over... it remains awesome sir!!
I genuinely appreciate that! Thank you!
Amazing performance!!!
It took me back 23 years ago. Lots of towns... Lots of songs... Lots of women... Good times... Bad times... Only thing I wanted anyone to say is... 'He could really play... He was good '.
One of the best movies ever done. "I'm really going to miss her"
Ain’t no song. You gotta do it for yourself… that’s what Robert woulda told ya.
Many travels,many places,many woman's, many parties. Still alone..until this week.life start to change this week.
@@DMCnME i lied to you Eugene
Never listen to the blues alone, at night. They will make the tears come to your eyes and you will feel oh, so lonely...
I think I'm a good man. And I know I'm feeling bad. Thank you for this.
You're welcome and if you enjoyed it, you are
I feel ya brother. Same here
Your cover of this song is the definitive version to me. The way you play and the way it sounds on your mic with the delay and reverb is perfect. I’ve had chills and sighs and tears to your cover. Thank you
Joe Boyle!
This is the music I envision for when I die and as I fade to black and begin my journey into the darkness towards the light of my judgement for the deeds of my lifetime on this great planet earth...
word
Wow
The cross roads...take me back to when the 80's when movies had feelings...
12 people have no idea what great slide this is... You nailed it dude!!!! I watched that movie when it came out in the theater and have the album, the the tape and now the dvd....Great job!!!!
Thank you Joe!!
first time i ever watched that movie i legit almost broke down cryin in the middle of class as we was watching for music class and that song throat punched me like a mfr never felt my throat ache so bad from sadness at that point was hard not to break down tho didnt want the whole class to see that
joe shmoe I have the cassette tape , the dvd and the cd soundtrack . I saw the Crossroads film on tv and was knocked out by it ! .
Found my first love at 15 lost her when I was17,found her again at 43.i am now 62.we both think like we are still 16.may be someone could use that for a blues number,even though we are very happy the blues remind us how it was in those long lonely years In between.sorry just had to let that out.
Beautiful story.... there's a fantastic song in there somewhere... write it brother!
wow so good thanks
I think thats bloody awesome, Love a good story to great music,, Peace my friend from Australia
It's fine dude..
I enjoy someone telling me there life..
Good for you bro...
I heard this tune back in the 80's and it I've never forgot it… it was my first experience of music making me feel so bad yet so in love with it at the same time. Its as beautiful today as it was then.. thank you for the tuition … I've been playing it all day !!
I am glad Terry! Slide is very nuanced and I didn't want to give too much away but hopefully set people on the right road
I rarely respond to these videos but felt the need to say how bad ass this is. One of the best versions I've ever heard hands down. I am in the business so there isn't much these days that moves me. Fantastic Job!!!!!
Wow! Just a masterful cover of an amazing blues riff...outstanding!!!
lots of town lots of places lots of women,the good times the bad times. all i ever wanted people to say was...He was Good he could really play..
Amen
I am going to have this played at my funeral if it does not make them cry nothing will.
gary leask personally i'm not having a funeral. Instead i'm carving a statue for my gravestone... of me killing a pig. It'll be 6' tall and done in stainless-steel-reinforced-900Mpa-concrete with ground granite for gravel in the mix.. The entire hole above my coffin will be filled with bloody hard concrete and the statue fixed to it with bloody big steel bolts. When my shit ex wife turns up to piss on my grave.. I'll be lookin down with a dead pig on my shoulder. And I'm carving a grin on my face.. and the pig is well stuck. It's an art thing.... ... ...
Bucket of blues
Sweet. Can't say more. I got goosebumps!
Thank you!
Right in the gut, man i love this tune.
Thank you!
Brings a tear to my eye. Makes pub feel sad deep down feeling thee blues . Music has disintegrated so much in this modern day. This is real music , real blues . As willy brown said in the movie . Good times, bad tiimes. Ain't nothing like blues but a good man feelin bad
Blues ain't nuthin but a good man feelin bad. Excellent job, son.
Thank you!
Awesome you nailed it, so much full of emotions
suvradip das thank you!
Such a simple yet soulful arrangement by Ry.
I think he got the tune and mood right.
Great job man!
Still love watching this video after originally finding it. Thank you 😁🙏👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Every note every chord crystal clear - fantastic beyond measure.
This is absolutely stunning, great work!
Thank you!
You absolutely nailed this one man. Took me right back to the original.
Thank you Michael!
Absolutely awesome performance !!! Wonderful sound ...
Thank you!!
I too wouldn't show my face if I could play this as beautifully as you have. I wouldn't want everyone to see the tears streaming down my face. Truly a moving performance.
Bravo, this is one of my all time favourite guitar tracks, you my good man have nailed it down, wow!!!
It took me a while but thank you!!
The blues really reaches deep I'm there.
It does, and that's the pont
There's nothing on earth, no other genre of music, that captures human emotion like true Delta Blues.
I listen to your music almost everyday- You do Cooders stuff marvelously
Excellent movie that never got it's true appreciation. I love it! Great playing brother! Love it!
Thank you and yes it was a great movie, I still have a crush on Jami Gertz!
Nice job. You really nailed that! One of the most emotive slide guitar pieces of all time!
Type Joe bonamassa slide ... you'll see who can really play this song ...
Yup JoBo can play slide!
Bongo77027 this guy is better
dollcakes "I think about slide as something that goes up to the 12th fret. Anything above that is trick. It's goofy, it's showmanship---it's irritating, almost." (Ry quoted in Nov '92 Guitar Player)
bud elkins Lets not get crazy with it, now.
Makes me wanna hit the road and keep on walking...:-) thank you. Whoever you are for sharing. :-)
I did that for a while.....started in the UK, lived in Cali and now somewhere on the east coast....you never know were music will take you Morgan
I was going to say my favorite part was when you raked the slide agsinst the frets at the end just to balance out the masterful playing and bringing it right back down to earth. However nothing could diminish what you did. Not only accurate but played with skill and feeling. Sounded like Ry. Excellent job.
Thank you very much indeed!
Very nicely done sir, really nice, and i got the feeling, man, how i got the feeling, "when a man thinks of the loves he had and lost, feeling the joys, and the pain, yearning for that chance to love again"
What is that quoted from if i may ask?
+Jack Fin hi there i just made up then, when i play the blues, slow, thats whats in my head :-)
Nice. As perfect a description as ive ever heard man.
+Jack Fin
NICE work here sir. My next Amazon purchase will be a brass slide. You've got THE tone.
Someone once defined ''the blues'' as ''a declaration a man or a woman makes of their greatest strengths and greatest weaknesses''.
Thank you Sky
He did remarkably well , didn’t he
couldnt have understated that any better
Roland van België goe int oog houden jongens
You did such a great job on this. You should be proud. Spot on my friend.

This is what i call music,great cover🎸
wicked cover of a fave of mine...love the feedback and stuff man

you gonna teach me the song? aint no song, sorry eugene i lied to ya, i just wanted to get out of that place so bad. robert give us 29 songs it was enough, never was no #30 not that i know of, got to do it for yourself thats what robert would have told ya. someone once said blues aint nothn but a good man feelin bad thinkn bout the woman he was with, good times, bad times, all i really wanted to hear anybody say is that boy could play he could really play
62 people out of their minds.......great job, sounded awesome
Thank you
One of my all-time favorite tunes, done well here…
Thank you!
Absolutely BOSS!!!! Awesome!!!
Thank you!
Trisblues Stunning !
Ry would be proud
I hope so!!!
😢 very talented. Just wow
Thank you!
by far the best cover yet!
Stunning man. loved it.
Thank you Rick!
This is so satisfying ...
Thank you!
Amazing!
Thank you!
Was just thinking about the movie, looked at scenes. Found this and the love affair started, can't find an adjective to describe. It's like polished chrome and a fat joint. Butter on hot pancakes, quite simply food for my soul.. Thanks for sharing
....Smooth!!!!!
I try!
I cannot fault any part of this. As good as the original.
Thank you!
👏 👏👏perfect
Thank you!
Those who dislike this amazing effort have no connection to their soul. PERIOD !
Music, especially this complex piece, is existentially not only an effort of years of practice but a conduit from the persons inner spiritual core.
I totally enjoyed this version and will keep it in my favorites.
💗
Tuning is:
D A D F# A D
Same tuning for The Doobies Don't Stop To Watch The Wheels and REO Time For Me To Fly.
Thanks for the tip.
U sure bro?
I read he had a trick he used in alot of songs where he'd play the verse in one open tuning and the lead parts in another- open d for verses then open g for lead for example.
3rd string (G) a half step down will give you F#.
Noah Mehl
THANK YOU!!!! Was trying to play this, and couldnt figure out what was going on LOL....
That tone is on point! Fucking perfect
was runnning it through a Peavey Vypyr that had a really good tremelo effect
Revisiting this again...2022. Thank you. Just...Thank You.
And thank you!!
Bravo!!! It looks like magic/voodoo to me the way those notes sing and tell a story..lol..Ry Cooder is a special talent and he no doubt would be proud of that cover..well done! 10/10
great song. great job
Thank you!
just gorgeous(!) tremolo/reverb are perfect. wanna dish on settings, amp and axe?
I'd use a miked Pignose into some vst reverb and tremolo from the DAW
+kevin mask first time ive heard tremolo effect and liked it. never thought of it for blues
Sure. Settings were an internal tremolo setting in the amp with a deep sweep and a medium cycle. I had a Peavey Vypyr amp (30 Watt, great sessions amp) the guitar was a Kramer Ferrington. I think Ry used a Leslie amp for his effect and I'd love one of those!
That would work, but higher volumes they can lose warmth... but great idea!
I never had either but I think Ry used a Leslie
well done, sir
the sound that cooder could make was stunning. the way that the song was set up in the movie was a master stroke. it's always been in my movie collection since it came out. the song itself has a way of transforming me back in time to when i lived in the deep south. i think to really connect with that music, it helps to have lived there. one needs to get to know the people, sample the cuisine and most importantly.....feel the sweltering heat of the gulf coast....
Thank you, and yes very evpcative indeed!
@@Trisblues i have been playing guitar for a long time. only recently, decided to try to learn slide. a friend of mine suggested that i try it. i'm tiptoeing in and plan to learn this song. i'd be v-e-r-y- happy if i sounded half as good as you do!
@@MIKE-ej6ud I have a couple of videos on my channel that deal with how to play slide, I hope you find them informative. I will be posting again quite soon so hit Subscribe!
Thank you very much. I was feeling bad and then I listen to that song and I feel better. Good playing.
Thank you Shellie!
Can you make a 2 hour long version of this
I have done it many times......
Don't kill me for what I'm about to say, but this is better than Ry's album version and on par with the movie version. Best cover I've heard yet. Deep lows and clean highs, and you nailed the last note, which was a little weak in the album version. I don't play but I know good music when I hear it. Cheers, from Memphis, TN.
Great job.. but better than Cooder? You is tweakin
wundermonkee1 I watched Ry Cooder live in the Adelaide Town Hall, South Australia.. 38 years ago... He's a bit older than me and had already been playing for at least 10 years. He was just great.. a guitar machine. As time went on I noticed the "feeling" coming to his music more. And more. And more. And.... And...
wundermonkee1 I agree
wundermonkee1 This is not even close to Ry Cooder. Too much tremolo and too much fret noise.
benkit49 Ry was cleaned up in the studio. Better amp too. Ry is one of the best guitar players on earth along with Terje Rypdal, Clapton, Vai, and Slash. But dude sounded pretty good.
Wife has a 1959 les Paul Jr. and I wish I could play with you ❤ Great job
That's some great playin'. Just beautiful
Thank you Allan!
Straight up bad ass. Dose any one know what effect is being used and what tuning it is in.
Just some reverb and tuning is open D
Can't believe I didn't include tremolo, I feel dumb haha
What tuning is this? It sounds like open D
Yes
Yes DADF#AD
wie original, stark, danke für das video. versuche es jetzt auch mal nachzuspielen !!!
Perhaps one of the greatest blues songs ever written !! You can feel the pain coming from the speakers , just oozes feeling and heart
Thank you!
Very nice. It sounds like you are really close to the original. Would you say the tone is more a product of the guitar or the amp? I'd prefer your right hand to be in the shot, however, so I could work on the tabs. As a beginner, listening to this song and trying to deduce the tabs, even with the adapted tabulation that is online, is extremely difficult. Is there any chance you will post tabs that accurately reflect the original?
Some very good questions. The tone was more the amp; the guitar was a Kramer Ferrington with a fixed bridge and a high tonal return so took some time getting the EQ. The tremolo was integral in the amp which was very convenient although I maintain that Ry probably used a Leslie. The tabs may be good but it's all about feel. You have the tuning so listen to the changes, the slides and the fingerings and watch my hand positions and you'll get as close as dammit is to swearing with practice.
What's the tuning?
DADF#AD Open D Vestapol. I strum slowly at the start so you can hear
Really enjoyed that!!
I'm glad!!
Thank You Verry Verry Verry Much. I do not know enough words to tell you what it is to hear you play that. Thank you.
It was my pleasure, I am glad you enjoyed it
This clip is 4:20 long.....!!!!!
haha hell ya man
All the voices in my head took a vote and The Ry Cooder album is my all time favorite...now if all the fingers on my hands and the strings on my Alvarez would just cooperate !!!!
+james mcbride A smokin rendition.
Yup... took some time to keep it perfect
:o)
Bruh 😢
Dude!
How could any body *not* love this?
Thanks Bill!
In blues we trust! God bless you man and keep on slidin' like a boss!!
We do indeed and I always will. God bless us and all who slide with us
the tremolo effect he has ruins the natural tremolo of his hand
Tremolo was the effect, the vibrato in the hand is required to keep sustain..... listen carefully to the original
It sounds fantastic. Don't be silly.
Nnnnnnice!!! Just went on eBay and bought myself a slide. So so important that people like you keep this shit alive and well.
Nice job son. Thanks.
Thank you! I'm glad I inspired you to get sliding!
Just delta Blues, there's no words, simply wow!!!.
Most beautiful music to my ears.... Thank you Ry for sharing this....
You're welcome!
Best and most complete version I have seen of this other than Ry. Great job
Thank you!!
Love that sound, slide guitar, I get just as much fun learning different styles of slide guitar. I love all the different styles of blues through the generations of time.
Couldn't agree more!
That's awesome! I've never seen a lamp made out of a bong before. Oh...and amazing playing too.
Hahahaa!! I wish! (I'm allergic to THC) but I'm gad you enjoyed!
Dude that was sweet AF....
Thank you very much!
Glad you added the tremelo. That's critical to this song which is absolutely haunting in the movie.
It is indeed and thank you. I have a feeling he used a Leslie which I'd love to have!
Gorgeous. I love watching how the slide works.
I'm glad!
I just found this one. Wow! What a nice slice of blues guitar. Makes me hang my head and think.
Best version I ever heard
Thank you!
Thank you. Sublime performance of a masterpiece.
autinspare thank you!
Brilliant, one of our favourite Ry pieces....you really nailed it in every way, great playing and great sound.
Ive been telling my friends for years about this piece.......and you my friend have just made my day.....!!! applause all round
I bow to you and your friends! Many thanks!
Hairs on back of neck - stand up.
Incredible, thanks.
Bad ass...that sounds like someone getting their heart torn out. You must really like this song because you played it very well.
simply beautiful
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then this "4:20" Audio track speaks lifetimes. Well done!!!
really solid man, I'm feeling it brother...
