Topic: Since I met you baby (old tune)

This is always a fun tune to do on acoustic  I  chose this particular song only because it was buzzing around my head and the mood I was in.

Nicely done Russ - Been a while since you've posted a vid and I really like the back to basics acoustic blues! You still got it!

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: Since I met you baby (old tune)

I love the way you do that song Russell.

Thanks Top! smile Yeah it has been a while and before I videotaped this I had a student who took up 2 hrs of my time and I came home and practiced for a hour and a half and was really tired but this song would not go away so I set up the cam and just played it without any effects or backing tracks which is kinda unusual for me. lol

Russell
That was a really sweet rendition.
I loved the tempo and all the fills you put in.
Sounded really great to me.

Appreciate the kind words, Curt, I like the oldies they seem to make a lot more sense then the "new" stuff we find on TV or the web at least to me smile

Listened to this twice. You have kind of a Ray Charles vocal vibe happening.

EDIT: Three times now. Great work man.

Glad ya liked it and Thanks for the comments, I think my vocals kind of get a little raspier each year lol  lot of low notes I used to be able to hit but not anymore but on the bright side a lot of notes on the upper end I seem to not struggle with smile

Thank you! I think there are some songs which never get old or out of fashion and the blues offers up quite a few smile

Russ, not sure if you have this album or have heard this version, but I have loved this song ever since I got the album in high school. It's one of the reasons I started playing blues.

You really nailed the soulful sound of that one, Russell ... thanks for posting. I couldn't help but notice that the ol' arthritis is starting to hit your hands, too ... no more 32nd note shredding for us older guys, eh?

TF thank  you for giving a look and commenting, regarding that "OL Arthritis" it is not really affecting me I still can hit 64th notes if needed 32nd notes are normal eat your heart out lol
