Trouble in Mind - cigar box guitar lesson

My first shot at an instructional video..so apologies about technique...rambling, not getting my hands in the shot etc. Anyhow, some bare bones stuff on how to do the basic song and a bit of advice about slide techniques.

Big thanks John.  This will be very useful to me.  It's just what I've been looking for.   Looking forward to more.

There is an excellent video of John doing this song on an old Harmony 6 string on youtube under ChickenboneJohn.   Well worth a listen.

I love this video. So useful. Brilliant stuff. No need for apologies. I really hope that this is the first of many. Five starts is not nearly enough.

Really great lesson, many subtle points to pick up here. Thanks for your generosity. I'm headed over to your youtube channel to see what else you have...

John, I love that song and the jazzy, bluesy way your sing and play it.  Request:  make a video of the song. 

 

Nice lesson.   I don't play I V I tuning, (I like DGB) but after watching this, I am quite tempted to tune a git I V I and try to learn it.  You make it sound soo good.  Please, make a vid of the song.
