@unripevocal Thanks so much for the good advice. I am practicing every day hopefully getting better. I ordered some videos from Guitar Workshop and they are really good. Sometimes my thumb still has a mind of its own though but I am looking forward to learning more every day. Thanks again for the support!
Mississippi John Hurt's "My Creole Belle" was released on the flip side of the same album with "Richland Woman Blues" in 1963, but the actual tune of "My Creole Belle" was a well-known ragtime tune that had virtually the same title of "Creole Belles" and it dates way back to a composition published in 1900 by the Danish-born violinist Jens Bodewalt Lampe, and recorded in 1902 by an ad hoc outfit billed as the Edison Concert Band. - j q t - th-cam.com/video/TfAmTYk1YYw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/VyJEaPYdGVg/w-d-xo.html Lampe’s version had several sections, the second of which is what Hurt recorded over six decades later, and Lasse Johansson, who has recorded a lovely guitar arrangement of the full rag, informs [us] that the original lyric was close to what Hurt sings: My Creole belle, I love her well, Around my heart she has cast a spell.

@steeletara01 ... he he ... he's really good ... I took his lessons on dvd and learnd a trackload of stuff ... believe me this song is not that hard to play ... you might struggle to get the thumb going at the beginning , but if you practice a bit , you'll get for sure ... very simple chords ... just work on your thumb ... and you will hear unbeliaveble things going on with your guitar ... play play play
I was at Fur Peace for this show. I've loved SG for about 50 years. Yum.
You suit m'y depressmind perfectly i forget every thinhs when i liste to you playing❤
Got to see Grossman live when he came to NZ, he was awesome and part of the reason I bought a guitar.
Thanks. Stefan is great and such fun. One day if I could play half as well I would be in heaven. I hope to be able to come to Fur Peace some day.

No it isn't, try listening to the music
