1:00 Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out - Eric Clapton 3:23 Make me a pallet on your floor - Mississippi John Hurt 5:10 Cocaine Blues - Townes Van Zandt
Sorry, "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" was initially written by Jimmie Cox. I got that info from Eric Clapton's "The Easy Guitar Book". Of course, my favorite version is Clapton's. Cheers !
I live in the UK so it is always a revelation to see and hear you travelling through the famous places I can only imagine,and reminisce about the people who rode through those lands searching for their new life,carrying their music with them,and playing around the camp fire every evening,wondering what the next day would bring. One can only imagine the courage they had,and be grateful that they passed that way.
Wat een super gaaf 'project' Paul! Niet alleen heerlijke tunes, maar vooral de diepte die het verhaal brengt en dan de backdrops om van te dromen. Heel erg goed gedaan!
Not only are Paul’s videos beautifully made and entertaining, and instructional, but this one is filled with rich history. Way to go, Paul! Your videos keep getting better and better! 🤘🏽👍🏽
Beeing with the blues for a long time, in this case it's not the what but the how you are telling the story: what a great little piece of work this video is - Thanks a lot man!
Wow. Beautifully played, narrated, produced, videod; educational, artistic, visually appealing, instructional, informative. I'm running out of words Paul! Thank you for your hard work, for sharing your passion, and for captivating and motivating all of us!
While being locked inside my office life, your songs and skills are a true delight and inspire me to start playing again. Thanks for sharing your gift Paul!
I'm amazed at your knowledge in guitar and the many different styles you've taken time with., and how much I learn from you.♥️ Your a superb teacher Paul, really! I'm from Alabama, been playing and learning from these old guys around me for 20 plus years. I love being able to expand on different styles. Ty Paul!
This amount of effort you put into your videos is the exact reason you are one of the best creators on RUclips - keep up the awesome content man, brings so much joy to so many people
Man, this video one of the best among others "guitar tutorials" but same time so inspiring.... I've the same guitar and traveled a lot in Russia and other countries with it. Thanks for your efforts and keep on going!
Hi paul, i just wanted to say that You are one of the gratest inspring guitar player and one of the best guitar content channel i ever seen. You inspiring so many guitar player out there to pick up the guitar and start playing. You make the lessons fun and intresting. You thught me so much thank u
I've played the Clapton version of this on unplugged for a longtime but very much enjoyed adding your intro to it which makes for a far more interesting beginning. Thanks
Paul Davids videos are so great that I know the next video will be beautiful enjoyable and interesting as the previous if not even more. Thank you for everything Sir.
I grew up, married my soulmate, raised four children, and taught for 30 years in Tucson. I make every effort NOT to return to that liberal armpit of a city.
Well, that so nice that I may have to subscribe, finally. Thank you for the fine music and travelogue. I truly love the blues, and you show great respect for it's history and influence. Exceptional playing. I lived in that part of the Country for about 10 years, and appreciate it's stark beauty.
Sedona, Arizona, home to red rock buttes, steep canyon walls, and pine forests....and also one of your biggest fans. Great video man, one of your best for sure!
MacGregor Young -- Weirdest thing: I just spent the last couple of hours today looking into moving to Sedona (all the way from Massachusetts!), and then I randomly click on this video (because I play guitar, so lots of guitar videos get recommended), and a guy from The Netherlands just happens to be there! What are the chances?! ;-) Anyway, I think it's one of the most beautiful places in this country.
Just discovered your vids. Amazing. The songs you play are better than the originals. You have helped me to discovery the beauty of blues and fingerstyle and in the space of a day I have watched this vid about 10 times. Great work, humbly delivered.
Hats off to Paul. It takes a foreigner to expose us to the blues! Keep up the good work. Interviews and jamming with some blues players would be outstanding.
J'ai adoré ce vidéo là! Great video man! It brought little shivers down my spine when you were playing theses songs. I want to learn how to play Blues so bad...
Thanks, Paul. Lovely little lesson on the blues, and I got to see some of my old stomping grounds; I lived in the Phoenix area and spent a lot of time around Sedona and Tucson. My wife's son lives over the mountains from Tuscon near Ft. Hachuca, 10 miles (16 Km) north of the Mexican boarder. I love these litttle vignettes you do when you travel.
Paul this is awesome! 👏 I LOVE Rev. Gary Davis and Mississippi John Hurt. Stefan Grossman, Roy Bookbinder and Woody Mann have some amazing stories about knowing Gary. He was a real character.
Wow! I was listening with my ear phones. My ear drums resonated to your strings when you played cocaine blues. Your videos are not only sheer joy to watch but also to listen too. 👍
Hey Paul your videos are better and better! My hat is off to you my fellow enthusiast. If people “beat you up” don’t let them; you’re on a beautiful path of sharing your hearts desire.
I used to live in Arizona and would hike the horse trial once or twice a week. Beautiful country and beautiful guitar playing, keep up the good work man.
The lack of views on this is disturbing. This video is truly one of the best pieces of media I've seen in a long time. Beautiful concept excucuted with finesse. Thank you for bringing it to us
Between Africa and the Mississippi Delta Blues lies a rhythm section of time, a boogie woogie era that was carved out of a Gourds. This magical music time was played on what some people call the 3 string boogie. I knew a man in Jackson, Mississippi who made these magical time pieces out of gourds he grew in Copiah County, which is ironically the birthplace of Robert Johnson. This man passed away after only making a few of these instruments, but his shop, research, and instruments were donated to the Smithsonian at their request by his lovely wife. I say this because much is said and written of the Blues but I would love to see great guitarist like yourself play the 3string boogie like my friend use to play because the 3 string boogie is to the blues as the blues is to the many genres of music today. Love your videos.
Bro, I would happily pay to get tabs for your renditions of these songs. Your style is incredibly appealing. Been playing for 15 years, but I dont know a damn thing about music theory, so interpreting the tabs from these videos is tough for me. Your stylistic nuance is exactly what I've been searching for, I hear it in little bits from famous musicians, but you perfectly embody it every second of play. Glad I discovered this channel! Your my new model for emulation.
I always appreciate Paul's focus on the beauty of music. It's very refreshing. A lot of art could benefit from considering beauty. You'd think that would be obvious, but apparently not.
It's crazy to think about how much time you put into making this 6 minute video. It's no surprise you are nearing a million subs. Well deserved.
damn, I didnt realize he has only near a million subs. He deserves wayyy more

The version he's playing yes not the original though
The Scrapper Blackwell version is the one that I enjoy the most.

@@fowono2007 The version on the Layla album is the best, Duane Allman and Clapton bounce off eachother so well.
Is away from home for a long time.
Not only uploads videos.
But makes new videos on the go.
In good quality.
Actually I sang this comment in my head as if it was a blues song

The cinematography in this video is just beautiful. And so is the music. Amazing work!
Next level music and concept video/recording, keep it up and cheers :)
Such a pleasant and aesthetic video, musically and visually. Fantastic stuff!
Een van je beste filmpjes tot nu toe! Echt mooi gedaan met de achtergrondverhalen en de setting.
fingerstyle blues is one the hardest and yet most satisfying styles to play imo. Great picking and awesome video Paul. You can feel the loooove......
Paul has one of the most soothing voices ever both on the guitar, and with his words 👌
U a child?
Beeing with the blues for a long time, in this case it's not the what but the how you are telling the story: what a great little piece of work this video is - Thanks a lot man!

Geweldig mooi. Ik word er elke keer blij van....bedankt Paul. Groet vanuit NL
It's always weird to see someone actually visit where you live. Somehow you actually made Tucson look nice on a non-rainy day lol.
RedBeardJoe It takes someone from The Netherlands to make Tucson look and sound great hahaha.
I’ve been to Tucson quite a few times and always loved it. (Im a Brit)
Ja ja ja
I grew up, married my soulmate, raised four children, and taught for 30 years in Tucson.
I make every effort NOT to return to that liberal armpit of a city.
Bob Dragoo perhaps more the people than the place?

Mississippi John Hurt is one of my favorite musicians of all time, this was a fantastic video!
the music, the locales, the narration... is so cathartic... love this!
