I learned to play this 45 years ago from my Dobro playing guitar teacher. Been a favorite ever since. Thanks for providing a fresh view of some of the licks I hadn't tried before.
You are an amazing player and so is Jorma. First time I saw him on t.v. play with Jefferson airplane I was a little kid and he blew my mind on how easy he made it look. Thanks a ton for sharing.
Damn! One of my all time favorites! Been listening to Jorma since the first Jefferson Airplane album(the one before Grace Slick). Hot Tuna and solo performances. You do justice in your teaching videos. Have a great Thanksgiving
Rev. Gary Davis was the king of what used to be called 'Carny guitar' a cross of blues, gospel and ragtime popular in the 30s and then again in the 60s because of the folk music revival. He came to my attention through Roy Bookbinder (also worth looking into) when I was a budding teenager. It's a style I have loved all my adult life, so thank you. Maybe Pink Anderson's 'Travelin Man' next? Doc Watson's or Roy Bookbinder's would be great!
EXCELLENT !!! ❤ This song will be my next. I actually play J. Kaukonen's "Genesis" on a cedar GS5 Taylor* and it sounds great. Hesitation blues is one or two or three steps higher with more complicated and various picking patterns. BluesRag guitar recently led me to discover Gary Davis and... Wow. Greetings from France. * + Gretsch Deltoluxe hole mic on Fishman Loudbox, but anyway pure acoustic sound suits me most of the time.
Fantastic surgery on the hesitation blues ,great job bro! only thing i think there is an F minor after the Fmaj at 3:00 in a kind of resolving to the C G chord .
Great breakdown of a complex song. This one and Cannonball Rag are really great for learning substitution. FYI Hesitation Blues wasn’t written by Gary Davis. There is a recording from 1915 or so of Jelly Roll Morton playing it on the piano and he says in the beginning that he didn’t write it. It is probably a traditional song that developed over time as a work song or something like that and there really was no one person who wrote it.
Thanks! A pretty blues standard and the best version is yours in my demo at the beginning of the video with the variation on the D7 and G7, I'll try to transcribe by ear but otherwise could you vaguely explain what you're doing?
Great lesson of a classic by one of the modern Masters. If you do a lesson on "If You Haven't any Hay" by Ernie Hawkins I will have no choice but to join your site. You are doing a fantastic job of teaching some great music BTW!!
way late. good stuff. the Jeff Airplane was darn good. several writers / singers and a strong instrumental base. Jack Cassidy on bass. Hot tuna started as the opener for the ' pop band'. played both acoustic and screaming Electric. my fave tune was ' plastic fantastic. screaming along in the garage....
Merci pour tout ce que tu partages ! Could you make a tuto about a song cover by Jorma too, of rev. Gary Davis ? Name of the song : Death Have no mercy ?? A real raw blues... 😊 Thank you
Please please please do a lesson of Done Got Old by Junior Kimbrough off of the Meet Me In The City album. I cant find any lessons or tabs for it. Thank you for your hard work. Ive learned a lot!
That’s a great lesson for a great tune! May a suggest a beautiful song by Brownie McGhee, “Born and Living with the Blues”? Thank you so much for your beautiful work!
The G7 with the thumb over the neck is similar to the G7 that Rev. Davis used, but the Rev. could also get the D on the B-string with his pinkie finger and F on the high e-string with his index finger, it’s nuts
Good vid. The song goes back before Rev Gary Davis, it was composed earlier by Jelly Roll Morton, a very early jazz piano composer, before 1915 and played in the New Orleans bawdy houses. before it was recorded. [ ruclips.net/video/qC_ZN9rsW1E/видео.html ]

remember that one very early album where Grace thanks her brother, "thank you Darby"...never heard from him again.
@@billr2375 was that when she was still in the Great Society before the airplane? Darby Slick wrote someone to love
Great lesson
Thanks for making this kind of thing so much more accessible.

Really great tutorial. Ever thought about "How Long Blues" still by Jorma Kaukonen? :)
Thanks! I just added it to my list! It seems yall like the Jorma lessons Ive done- Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hot Tuna live is great.
Good vid. The song goes back before Rev Gary Davis, it was composed earlier by Jelly Roll Morton, a very early jazz piano composer, before 1915 and played in the New Orleans bawdy houses. before it was recorded. [ ruclips.net/video/qC_ZN9rsW1E/видео.html ]
Actually written by Jelly Roll Morton (I think) it might even be older than that.
This looks hard and challenging
Good ending is to flat the C7 and slide up into C7 finish.
Listen to the version with Janis Joplin
The Typewriter Tapes
you should teach hot tunas nine pound hammer
Nice suggestion! Ill add it to my list-Thanks for watching and commenting!
i luv hot tuna !! thanks heaps !!! fun fact= they wanted to be called' hot shit ' but not allowed to
This is a waste of time if you're not going to go over te picking pattern. Wtf am I supposed to do with my pick hand???
