By far my favorite video on You Tube. At least 100 of these views are mine. Just blown away. Perfect delta blues voice--slide guitar--Blind Willie...the perfect trifecta. Thanks for sharing, Martin!
I really admire your skill and these video's really help me to practice these amazingly groovy and complex songs. You make it look so easy and I understand it is because of your years of dedication to the music. I regularly play songs from your album in my DJ sets in our local music venue (VERA Groningen), and I really hope you can come play there some day!
Thank you for this. It breathes new life into the works of a great artist. I hope others, like myself, find your covers of Blind Willie Johnson and then seek out the work of an under-appreciated man. Fyi, your covers are right with the originals in my work playlists. Again. Thank you.
I just bought this Honey Dipper because of your sweet video and playin'.....I've got a lot to learn, but can't wait to dive in to Delta Blues...thanks for posting Martin. You nailed this song, dude.....
Martin Swamps Cheers! I'll get working. I've been learning a few Fred mcdowell tunes in open e (the lives ones where you can see his hands clearly). I Struggle to get he BWJ tunes sounding right in D but i must be too quick to try something different!
McDowell was another great guitarist.His playing was more rythmic, like Son House you know? He sang over really cool rythmic patterns. BWJ actually made his guitar sing! He sang what he played (or played what he sang!) With a lot of "ghost notes" and subtlety. He was the master! Keep on working man! Keep the blues alive! Cheers!
The Power of Jesus doesn’t die down between artists, in his song :)
Closest to blind Willie I've heard😀
Wooh! Thanks!

Fantastic ❤
This is so powerful, this song has been on my mind lately and you nailed it. Literally. Praise God with the blues.
Your voice sounds so like the original it’s amazing, great depth!

You got a powerful voice my friend. Would love to hear this song again after another 7 years of playing
Awesome 🤘
Great to see a version faithful to the original!
When I listen to it, I'm happier than old Blue layin' on the porch and chewin' on a big' ol catfish head!

Nice job brother!!!

joseph zeleke thanks man!
Good job man!
amazing!
Thanks!
Dope!
This is absolutely incredible!! What tuning are you in? Open D?
Open D it is
How do you know the devil tuned his guitar?
He doesn’t clip the excess
Make a lesson! Great job, would love to learn this one.
Thanks! Every song Willie Johnson made was a masterpiece!
I’m going to slow your video down and see if I can figure it out.
Just a passerby came to say very impressive, only thing missing is the poket knife Willie used instead of a slide.
Next time let's hear ur version.
Some say he played with a pocket knife, no one is sure about that. The most important thing to get his feel: a Wooden Guitar!
Thanks anyway!
Hi mate what tuning are you in? Phenomenal work well done.
Lewis Kerr Thank you sir! I LOVE Blind Willie Johnson. He was so unique! He was almost always tuned in Open D.
Martin Swamps Cheers! I'll get working.
I've been learning a few Fred mcdowell tunes in open e (the lives ones where you can see his hands clearly).
