Excellent teacher. A rare gentleman with a forthright, unpretentious approach. Good verbal/communication skills and a wealth of historical knowledge to securely establish his place within the upper niche of modern guitar instructors.
can't thank you enough! your blog post about this song is awesome too. so much good information. i have never seen someone go to so much effort. i really appreciate it, and i'm sure everyone that watches will too.
Thank you so much for the lesson and the way you present the music. It's refreshing to hear someone talk about these blues song like they would any other song and not some mythical unicorn. These are great tunes and resonate with people as much today as they did when they were written. The song writers were trying to entertain folks which I think is lost sometime in modern interpretations. You presentation was fun and your style gets that across. Thanks again.
The song is actually in open D tuning. I see what you’re trying to do as little as simpler I guess, but not exact in that a lot of times it should be an F sharp against an A.
To the guy who asked for the tab... I found it by going to the link for the full blog posting (just below the 'Like' button) which will take you to this: truefire.com/tabs/statesboro-blues.pdf
Bingo, but this is constant with Jimmy Page. Having most of the imortant Blues recordings library in early age, he taught he could just record those songs riffs and sometimes even do a copy without the composer knowing.
Whole Lotta Love In 1987, Dixon reached an out-of-court settlement with the rock band Led Zeppelin after suing for plagiarism in the band's use of his music in "Bring It On Home" and lyrics from his composition "You Need Love" (1962) in the band's recording of "Whole Lotta Love".

Really like the way you broke this down. As someone who’s desperate to get the independent thumb thing going this was very helpful. Thanks.
You are a great teacher and guitsr player. Thanks for explaining how to play this song.
I will try it later tonight.
sounds great. You are an exceptional teacher too.
Great bit of Blues history and information. I hear a bar or two of 'Old Dan's Records' in that old song as well.
Thank you so much your a good teacher.
Hi David, thanks love this have you done a lesson on ‘Another Cross to Bear”
Great song, would you send me the sheet music, according to the video I'll never learn it?
4:30 McTell apparently used a 12 string, which is probably the sound you are hearing.
Thanks for the video, I'm a big fan of McTell's playing.
The bar 9 characteristic bend is played in two positions and octaves,points to partial open chord in upper strings.Chris Young
Sir,did you compose a bluesy soundtrack for documentary Oldest man in America?
