great pickin' and singin'. two things though' date=' what is that small body behind him? it looks like a L00 with a century of progress pearloid neck and and a slot head. very cool. also, do you have to wear a hat to play the blues? [/quote']

 

lol on the hat. really though, i bet there's tradition to speak of here. if i had to hazzard a guess, i'd say that either "bluesmen" (buskers et al) used the hat for tips once they began to play or that alot of clubs in which the blues could be heard were for "gentlemen" which required formal attire so as not to offend the "white" collar crowd...... or they were cold!

Albertjohn...tuning is DACGCD

 

Wow thanks OWF. I'm going to give this one a go. I still have my cheapy but remarkably good sounding Adam Black 12 er to play around on. So I can feel a retune coming on!

 

I haven't look at the clip again but he seems to be playing a sort of G shape with the root of the chord on the bottom string ( in this case D string)
