Hill Country Blues - DADGBD - double drop d

Hi everyone, I really like playing this song. Every time I play this song it comes out differently. It is played in double drop D tuning, DADGBD. I really like playing this because it feels so raw. I had been playing similar style for several days and my fingers were getting tired from this style.
Hill Country Blues was invented in 5 counties in North Mississippi in the hill country. It has a very percussive feel and will often stay in the same chord for a long time. I was inspired from listening to R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Mississippi Fred McDowell, the Black Keys, and Lottie Murrell, and others in the genre. I wish I could get this better.

Great tune man!

[@user-ug6ti3op3x]

Cool stuff sir . Jimmy Page uses the DADGAD tuning , the DADGBD you demonstrated is a fine tuning as well , known as a Dobro tuning .

[@GrampyDanGuitar]

Jimmy Page is big influence for me.

Man, this is great. I bet this would sound good with some slide on my Jazzmaster. 🙌 About to jam along on a loop. 😂

Sounds great man!! Stunning. Hill Country! Please tell me the make of this maple Gibson?! J200? or something? Im more of a Martin guy who is really getting into the Gibson spread. (btw, Cam Kimbrough (Junior's grandson) has some great YT vids out there teaching Hill Country etc)

[@wheninroamful]

Just searched your vids and looks like: Gibson Emmylou Harris L200? Cool guitar.

[@GrampyDanGuitar]

Thank you! You are correct it is the Emmy Lou Harris guitar. I really like it. Thank you for the comment. Thanks for the video recommendation I’ll check it out and am working on some more Hill Country style sounds.

[@lukethedrifter100]

Is the guitar a j200? Sorry im not ignoring your playing man, its grooving down home

[@GrampyDanGuitar]

Hi, this is a Gibson Emmy Lou Harris model

[@johansteenhuis6813]

Great - how can i learn this song.... tabs?

[@GrampyDanGuitar]

@@johansteenhuis6813 I don't have tabs, maybe one day. It's in double drop d tuning and uses the minor blues pentatonic scale. If you alternate a bass line with the two d strings and mess around with the scale on the bottom two strings it will sound cool.

[@johansteenhuis6813]

@@GrampyDanGuitar thanks for your reaction

[@jackchow6668]

What model is that Gibson ?

[@GrampyDanGuitar]

That is an Emmy Lou Harris Gibson guitar. An L-200 I believe.
