- With Tab! Recently when working on Rag, Mama, Rag by Blind Boy Fuller, I was deciding over which take to work on. While spending time with these two takes I noticed some really striking things that I'm super excited to share with you (as well as how to play the tune!)
Full tab and slow play available on the Patreon!

These lessons are great. I'm becoming a little obsessed with BBF! Thanks Kyle!
Ha! That’s awesome. I’m doing just one here!
Amazing. It's so great that young people like you are playing and analyzing this music, and keeping it alive. You clearly love it and that makes me happy. ♥
Hey thanks dude! Yeah I love this shit, love that others do too!
1969, I was 16 when I started working with 78's and Reel To Reel slowed down to 1 7/8th ips. Note by note 55 years later is not possible with my hands, nor desirable. But "you" are doing heroic work beautifully made available. I like your comment "song maintenance." Shows your commitment to authentic and accurate preservation of historical music arts! This weekend my trio and I performed 60 songs over 4 hours at a house warming in St. Paul. I played Hesitation Blues, Alices Restaurant (5 minute instrumental) because they didn't believe anybody fingerstyles that anymore.... like what??? Sure! And listen real close... he did and the look as all the little notes were there. But perfectly faithful renditions like yours with tabs? Man... I don't even try. Clinical ADD and Ragtime Blues are a catch as catch can, spotty duo on a good day! Great work Kyle!
Dang, yeah that’s a challenge I never had to face, but my pause button on my cd player was worn out that’s first sure. The slowdown feature on RUclips is pretty cool if you’ve ever checked that out. Just make sure you don’t leave it on because the next “taking head” video you watch will be hilarious if you do!
Congrats on the 4 hour music bender! 😮💨!!
@@kostringworks A local community band member had a dream to be out of character and organized a jam of strangers....... I dragged Lyle along and my piece was 2 versions of Hesitation Blues. Mine is quiet, slow and seductive. Yep,... that. Lyle's is us... counterpoint and full band plus him "in period voice." Why old guys like me think your work is vital is the joy it brings to every listener. Our jam was 14 songs, as a "Septet" and after 6 hours of experienced players and singers working hard and happy... family and friends joined us for full concert.
Kyle, small gatherings, coffee houses, home and church gathering rooms built strengths of friendships and community that will leave you full and kinda astonished. Our youngest was 11, oldest was 80 in audience of professional musicians and teens with Down's Syndrome. Meeting them all at refreshments is challenging for me, but brings me out of the introversion I know too well. All to say... Thank You Kyle.
I learned this stuff from the modern master of Ragtime and Country Blues… Stefan Grossman.
Heck ya!
A: I am subscribing to your channel, even though I don't usually subscribe to channels which already have a healthy number of subscribers, like yours. The reason I am subscribing is simple, but probably quite unpredictable : - for some unknown reason I have an intense hatred of these modern " one hand " capos everybody has, and you have what I consider a " proper " capo !
B: In the mid 60s I saw my first fingerstyle guitarist on the telly, Donovan, and I still consider his first few albums to be as good as it gets. So, five days ago I was watching a clip from 1966 of him on American tv and in the background, apart from P Seeger, whose show it was, was an old blues guy. I'm not hip enough to have recognised him, but the comments revealed that it was none other than G Davis. So you may have found a track where he is almost inaudible in the background, but I have found one where he is completely inaudible - top that !

Ha! Dude awesome! Yeah, I don’t have a lot of pet-peeves, but those clampy capos are def one of them for me.
Thanks for the story and clip, I’ll def check it out! I’ll watch Rev with no sound any day!
Hey Kyle I enjoyed this lesson, but a lot is still beyond me but I'm learning in small increments, I'm good with the chords . It's the right hand fingering that's hard for me, thank you
Right, yeah this stuff is tricky to be sure! The right hand for his work would be a whole nother series haha. He was such a good student of Rev and Blake and but I love how he spun it in his way. I’d say if you do your best doing it your way that you’re prob doing it better than most!
Great work Kyle. May I ask what camera you are using here?
Thanks dude! It’s a Sony zv-e10. Kinda an older camera by now, but it does pretty good!
What kind of guitar are you playing?I believe I want one!Great work too!
Thanks! It’s a fraulini made by Todd Cambio! Model is the Erma.
Another great vid!. At 1:20 when you mention how his timing is perfect between two different take, which I agree super impressive, but it reminds me of a conversation between a high level professional guitarist and his fan. The fan said "Man, if I could play guitar as good as you, I'd play all day!"... and the guitarists responded, "Well, the reason I play this good is BECAUSE I play all day." :) Seems obvious, but some people do play A LOT more than others and are that much better cuz of it. Blind Boy Fuller played at that high level cuz of playing all day and thus it was second nature to FEEL the timing......an amazing feat nonetheless.
Victor Wooten, the amazing bass player, has a book called "The Music Lesson", a trippy novel of sorts, one of my favorite books, but in one of the chapters it's all about keeping that internal metronome no matter the distractions. He has since wrote a second book, The Spirit of Music, which I have to haven't started it yet. Thanks for the vid!!!!
Do I love vic! One of my first hero’s. I actually haven’t read his first book, but I did read is recent one earlier this year. Kinda trippy but it’s great! Great insight bud.
I've got to say that the " discovery " was the least amazing thing I've ever heard ( sorry about that ........... ) . Funnily enough, what did surprise me was finding that The Band stole the title. The upshot of this, of course, is that I realise I've been doing BBF a serious disservice all these years, which I'll be starting to make up for this very day. The only guy I am really familiar with from the old days is Willie Johnson, who I consider to be far and away the " King of the Blues " . Great vid !
I feel like I've never sang this song the same way twice, lol
Hahha totally
Funny story : - You've had 1.4 K views in two days, which is actually pretty impressive for such a good video about an almost unknown guitarist. While I was watching it I couldn't help noticing a vid down the right hand side about three solos G Harrison couldn't actually play. It has had 60 K views in three days, and I had to watch it because I think GH is pathetic, and I wanted some good examples. On the first track the " solo " is obscured by JL overdubbing a harmonica, on the second, GH pulls it off easily - at half speed, courtesy of GM's " wizardry ", and on the third, PM replaced the guitar solo himself. So if you want to boost your views, perhaps you should study this ?
