Both your talent, but perhaps more so, your teaching style, is really zen and true. You are unique.

YST thanks for that son house video very nice slide work there too

elderfan, you are correct. Nobody knows what Johnson did. Nobody. All the great musicians wonder and try to figure it out, but nobody knows. All the study of him is in vain to a pretty much. Closest thing I have found, I'm kind of new to this deep root study of delta blues, is in this video. Do a utube for Son House - Death Letter. You can see in that video that he has that same sort of thing Johnson had, but he can not do it consistently through out the song as Johnson did.

This guy is very good I learn tons from him about picking. The thing about Johnson though that he does not address is the way Johnson played to different melodies at the same time. One of them being a rhythm sort that is structures and the other that laid on top of that almost out of time, rhythmically speaking. Almost nobody, or even nobody can do this. Clapton has tried with all his heart to do this Johnson thing and while sounds very good, falls quite short if you ask me.
