You know, sometimes it's good to play with yourself...  :whistling:

Here's an old Blind Blake number, which I first heard done by Leon Redbone. I've turned it into a guitar duet for a bit of Sunday morning fun. The bass chords and lower rhythm are layed uncapo'ed in E, and the main tune is played in C with the capo on the 4th fret. This is what capos were invented for (as well as assisting vocals).

Diddy Wah Diddy

Really nice, liked your duet version! Blake's one of my all-time favorites, like the slightly more laid back, swing-ish feeling of your take.


Good one, Will.
I love your stuff and I love Blind Blake.
Here, have a donut.  :donut
