Gary Davis taught him all he knew! According to the Rev anyway! 😁 And the Rev loved Blind Blake. Bits of Diddy Wah Diddy and Twelve Gates To The City in there.
More excellence! Thanks Kyle! I’d guess that your Fraulini was a product of the Oscar Schmidt Company of Jersey City, New Jersey, and built as either a jobber brand, or more likely a proprietary brand for some store (or chain of stores), and that all the models had girls’ names (“Fraulinni” sounds like Italianized German, but as a speaker of neither language, I will bow to the counsels of those better informed in this), as they did so much of that, but if you know otherwise, do please enlighten me… X-braced guitars are totally the poo, and are my current faves. The current trend of “popping the backs” of high quality ladder braced guitars and trying to make them into “Martins” (like we’re running out of Martins?) just irritates the heck out of me. It is usually most often perpetrated on 1950’s through early ‘70’s Harmony built guitars, but anything built with ladder bracing is potentially at risk (and to perpetrate it on classic old parlor guitars is just a travesty!). Just get the neck reset (they almost always need it), and then use the lightest strings you can manage (my 25” scale Harmony made OOO’s and “bell jumbos” sound loud and full with acoustic XL’s!), and ladder braced guitars seem to really encourage you to sing… Thanks again, Kyle, I love your posts more and more with every visit!
Thank you and I truly enjoy the way you put yourself out there to learn the song as you show us. Just great
Thanks Roger. Glad showing the process was helpful for ya!!
Great videos and teaching. I am really glad I found your channel.
Thanks Tom! Appreciate you watching, glad to know it's working for ya!
THANK YOU!!!! sooooo much for this!!! LOVE Blind Boy Fuller!!!! and BY EAR!!! Thanx again!!!
Absolutely! It’s such a bad ass tune! It loops in my head at all hours since this transcription. 😂 have fun with it!
The tune is difficult but finding that recording was probably even more challenging.
You will always get new people wanting to learn, so no worries.
True! So the process continues!

Nice one Kyle.
Am a big fan of the thumb for the bass notes, but my hands don’t always agree 👍🏻
@@billallen1594 Ha! Yeah we don’t have all Dakota Dave Hull hands.
More excellence! Thanks Kyle!

Fraulini is actually a modern company made in Madison Wisconsin! Check them out! He actually just made Slash a 12 sting 😆.
what guitar are you playing?
@@MrCubannn it’s a Fraulini! The model is the Erma. Great little ladder braced guitar.
