Rollin' Stone "Catfish Blues" (Muddy Waters) ~ taught by Tom Feldmann

[@zbaron1123]

Tom you got me working on this. I don’t quite have your Mojo, but you have me trying man. I saw Muddy in 1979 at an Eric Clapton concert. From where I was at in the place he was the size of an ant. But that sound man! His music got stuck in my soul. It’s so cool to try to lay my fingers down in the places where he did. Thanks man.

ESPETACULAR!

Thanks!

Great job, Tom! I have the same guitar (Collings 002h ) but for some reason, mine sounds completely different. Lol.

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Thanks Steve! Great guitar…it was my main travel guitar for years. Compact but punchy.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Some people only do the one chord intro & verse but the nuances are still not easy.

[@frankmirra8243]

My God this is perfect. You are the man Tom. Thank you for this. I also love the Robert Petway version of this song. Do you know that one too?

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Thanks Frank! Yes, I do know the original version…wild one.

So many people have tried their hand at this great song. I have to say the one that parts my hair is by Son Thomas.

[@mrkingcat2]

So cool

[@simulconcordiae2030]

Hello Tom always a pleasure. It's a really fine video. What is the 3rd string thickness you suggest?

[@PlayCountryBlues]

I use .18

[@robertfox3962]

That was great, thanks! One question: which string maker sells unwound Gs? I've looked around internet but haven't had any luck.

[@PlayCountryBlues]

I get extra plain steels for the unwound G string. Not included in string pack.

[@JaguarAJ6]

Ernie Ball Earthwood Light have unwound G

Thanks!

[@thelostjoe]

Do glass slides put less pressure on the strings while over the frets of the guitar?

[@PlayCountryBlues]

No…unless you are using a heavy socket wrench, pipe, or other heavy object.
A typical glass slide is about the same weight as a typical metal slide.

[@thelostjoe]

@@PlayCountryBlues Thanks for answering. Also if it's ok to ask, why do you prefer using a glass slide opposed to a steel one?

[@PlayCountryBlues]

@@thelostjoe I don't prefer one over the other.

[@Slippery-Stan-Miracle-Man]

Awesome

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Thanks Brett!
