Even without the lesson, this is just fun to watch and listen to.

Best Lesson on Robert Johnson Music...Fantastic....Delta Lou is amazing for his lesson and his free tablatures...Four Thumbs Up!

Finally! Been looking for a good lesson for this for a while - people are all OVER the place. This lesson is on point! Thanks Lou!

thanks for keep Delta alive

Thank you tremendously, you were born to teach

Epic bro. Honestly the best rendition of this I’ve heard. Blows Clapton out of the water.

Sounds convincing of how Johnson was playing..great performance dude

VERY CLOSE VERY GOOD ..LOU

Totally agree with Don, at last a proper version to learn, play (well attempt anyway!) and enjoy. Thank you so much. Looking forward to checking out your website. Best regards.

Great job, Lou!

Brilliant Lesson Lou I,ve been trying to learn this tune for ages Nice one

Man, I totally understand. Honestly, it took me 20 years to get this song right to the point where I think it's good and that was this past year. The trickiness is all in the timing. But stick with it, now that I've got it down, It's very satisfying. I need to upload my rendition from this year.

@@DeltaLou Thanks for the encouragement. Really, if any song is worth learning, it's this one. I can't wait until the day i can give this song some kind of justice when i play it. Love to hear your latest version.

Robert on photos don't used fingers extensions?

Delta lou ive been watching all your videos thank you for all the knowledge. Ive seen your video for preaching blues by son house and I was wondering if you could do preaching blues by Robert Johnson as well.

Preaching blues by Robert Johnson is very challenging to play. I did not think to try to make a lesson for it.

Thanks for replying. I'd like to let you know your the best person on KZread to learn all these old delta tracks! m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/daR8upiyhNqsgdI.html This is the only lesson on KZread I could find for it but nobody else gives as much depth and detail as you. I sure hope you give it a shot. Thanks again !

Damn good

Thank you, Lou - once again. I’ve watched a few on this no one makes it a clear. And it’s invaluable the way you show were the vocals go too. You’re the man! Have you done RJs Preaching Blues? Would be great if you have, could or are planning to do? Thanks again for all the work.

Thanks for such a nice comment! I am just about to release 9 new R.J Lessons this coming month but Preaching Blues will not feature as one of the lessons. Preaching Blues is almost impossible to break down in lesson form cause the song itself lacks concrete musical structure. Preaching Blues is driven by the devil spirit in R.J when you hear it. Truly, when you listen to the original recording, it's absolutely wild When I play it, it's like I have to get myself possessed to match the energy! The timing and rhythm cannot be processed. I could try in the near future, but it's a song I don't study or really enjoy to play because it feel like one continuous loop. No pronounced IV or V chord to stabilize the composition.

Delta Lou Haha yeah - it’s wild for sure! Never thought about 4 and 5 chords on it - seems to be a series of wild riffs - even the main riff which I think I’ve got changes throughout. Peter Green does a great simplified version. Cheers buddy... look forward to more... And continuing on with this one.

What’s the tuning?

Why would you take the capo off for the lesson ?

Great!! What guitar model is this please?

This guy is a lot less wrong than a lot Of other players I’ve heard

Not a great lesson. Just hacking away on a resonator does not come anywhere near to the style and intricate work of Johnson. Just listen to the 2 Johnson recordings of Crossroads and you will hear a much more nuanced and delicate sound.
