Introduced me to Robert Belfour. I wish my father was still alive so I could pass it on to the man who raised me on Delta blues.

[@ludper7030]

This guy is a living legend, he owns the past, the present & the future in his hands...

[@TFunk584]

Outstanding!

[@robertozorzi7499]

Thank you.

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

Thank you, sir, getting a whole lot of work done to your beautiful blues. This music gives me a transcendence over a harsh world. It always has.

Tom's lessons are a national culture treasure

Thanks Perry!

[@kennethkennedy6342]

Now I do love me some Joe Perry!

@@PlayCountryBluesTom - could you add the RUclips tip feature? I'd like to contribute towards the cause as an appreciation for your efforts. I don't really need lessons, though. I just watch and learn.

[@DavidHaile_profile]

You own a lot of nice guitars!

[@wivory81]

Tom is a gifted musician, and great teacher of delta blues style guitar. Could listen to his music all day.

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Very kind of you.

The Waterloo is great!

Wonderful blues

[@keyofb9513]

Are we entirely sure this man isn't a voodoo priest who has summoned up the souls of these bluesmen beyond the grave? … 😁 beautiful work!

[@concretel10n]

This is some aspirational level playing.
Thanks for all the lessons.

[@zeplin999]

Thanks for the inspiration, Tom. Both singing and surely guitar are awesome but also sound so authentic to me..
Your videos should have much more viewers..
Greetings from a fan from germany

Every now and then God gets it right he did with this boy, I'm a believer.

[@runraven9025]

so good you did that, it makes it easy to spot songs that we can find in your lessons afterwards

[@nathanielhensley4756]

Amazing And I'll definitely be learning those delta blues songs by watching and listening to this video ☺

Thanks Tom…just what I needed to make it through the day

[@PlayCountryBlues]

🤙🤙

[@magusguitars]

Amazing playing, I need to find more time to learn some these classics.

[@DavidHaile_profile]

I'm a new fan of Tom Feldmann! I've been focusing on R Johnson's Kind Hearted Woman for a few days and expect it will open up a whole batch of A blues tunes in the near future.

[@onewiththeblues]

this is the real stuff ❤

[@SlimDavenport]

Great collection of songs.

This song is very similar to Alcohol and Jake Blues. It's the same song just with a few words changed

[@mesimar]

Master like this I will ask you to take on dave van ronk "frankies blues" , mance lipscomb "charley james" or any bbbronzy,PLEASE US.

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll add them to the list. I have a handful of Broonzy tunes available at playcountryblues.com

[@mancebo7]

Can you please tell me what (make/model) guitar you're playing in "Ways Like a Crawfish"? (It's just beautiful and it has that wonderful Delta tone to it...) Thank you kindly!

@@PlayCountryBlues Thank you kindly! Keep up the good work!

[@juke699]

Tom, Excellent playing and your singing is pretty good too. Have a suggestion for you, do all of Jimmy Page's acoustic songs starting with the 3 he did in the Yardbirds right through Led Zeppelin, think it would draw a lot of viewers for your channel...

[@snorrevonflake]

I appreciate Tom keeping up the tradition of acoustic blues guitar styles of the 1930s and 40s and doing those lessons.

[@PlayCountryBlues]

Thanks for the kind words and suggestion. I honestly don’t know what songs those are, or what he played what on. I’ll have to do some digging but most of the time those players are out of my wheelhouse.
