About
There was a reason that fellow musicians like Charley Patton and Son House swore that Johnson must have made that deal with the devil after hearing him play - his playing was far more sophisticated than any of them ever heard before... and he was so young! This song is prime example of how Johnson uses a Bentonia style of tuning - Em - to illustrate just how talented he was. Not to worry... the tuning is very easy to adapt to as the first top three strings never changes. Topping this all off, I'm going to show you some variations you can add to the song to make it your own!
