Just amazed that he can produce all that great sound with just one finger and a thumb. Great to see the young lad playing good music from the days of great music.
My first guitar was a Stella . My step dad saw it in a dumpster and he brought it home to me -that was 65 years ago . I’ve had a hundred guitars since then but my heart will always belong to Stella- She steered me right and I’m still playing today at 77- I think I would trade all my guitars for 1 last night with that little red Stella …….😢
Cheers! Yeah these old Schmidt Stellas are little powerhouses, this one came to me needing fully rebuilt, I'd never had a guitar where every single brace including the bridge plate was loose until this one showed up, so it's had the works done, I'm trying to sell it but having fun with it until it does.
You're spot on brother. This fella is just great! Iplaybanjonow (Christine P) did a version of this on you tube a few years ago, but it was taken down, unfortunately. Great tune!
In the last few weeks I have listened to this repeatedly. The guitar tone and vocals are on point and this video has warmed my soul and inspired me . Excellent job and thank you for sharing your talent and skill ❤
This is a great version, could you do a lesson please? There is nothing online only the Rev Gary Junior and Keith Richards version. I love this version!
Do you have a band Mr Alex Kirtley ?. - Have a cigar, -You can be hell of a star - You play and sing awesome.... Absolutely perfect : ) Im playing your song every day : ) Thank you so much for sharing. - This old guitar sounds perfect !
This is my favorite version of this song, a lesson would be awesome Edit: Just found a lesson by David Bromberg which this cover is based on, lol. If anyone wants the lesson, look up "David Bromberg teaches "Cocaine Blues"" on TH-cam.
You get an amazing tone from that guitar! Stellas I'm familiar with. They're usually not reknown for their superior sonic qualities. Oscar Schmidt Stella: what's that and who's that.
“If the …… was a devil without any horns he must’ve been a furniture man?” I need to know the rest of this line. lol. It’s already good and I’m assuming can only get better with completion

Brilliant! Fabulous playing, and that venerable old guitar is a real tone monster! Love it!

Fabulous! Nice to hear that vintage guitar in action.
You really nailed the swinging ragtime tempo, and with just two fingers a la Gary Davis.
2 fingers very rare and I love it. 😂
Merle Travis, and Paul McCartney (Blackbird) used 2 fingers !🤏
Doc Watson also used only 2 fingers. @@roenvalenzuela2492
Man, if that beautiful old Stella could talk, imagine the stories it would tell!! Well done, my friend! 😎✌️☕️🥯🎶🎶🎶🎶
That was good! Don't hear this version much. Most enjoyable!
Dude, u awesome. glad i stopped at your post. Greetings from a 71 year old from Sedona Az

Holy shit that was awesome. That guitar deserves to be played that way. Been eyeing parlor guitars for a while now but can't find the right one

A lovely mix of rawness and sweet in the vocals. The playing is impeccable! Is it a "hard"guitar to play? All the best from Sweden
Very cool, glad this popped up - you're a natural player.

That's superb!
Great tone. Great delivery.
Awesome man!
So perfect : )
First of all amazing performance.
Second, who is the artist of the song?
U sell that guitar you’ll regret it. Sometimes when u fix a beater it’ll devalue or belittle it in your perception...
Totally agree
What do yall mean?
Never mind. I got it. I also just found one similar to this (30s tho) for 275$
Brilliant.
deluxe, thank you
Superb 👍👍
Snappy finger picking, real ragtime feel on the blues.
that guitar suits you well sir🤙
Mark Knopfler would be delighted to see your finger picking. Well done!
Super!
loved it!
Great 👏🎶
yes!
Hi Alex. Great music. Is the guitar for sale? Do you still have the Docherty 12 fret?
Real nice.
talent
Id love a tutorial please!
Excellent.
¿What is the name of the genre?
Belong to the ragtime's blues
@@juancarlosmaciasmoreno4713 Thanks
That guitar sounds great? Where did you find it?
“If the …… was a devil without any horns he must’ve been a furniture man?” I need to know the rest of this line. lol. It’s already good and I’m assuming can only get better with completion
Luke Jordan sings "if there ever was a devil born without any horns he must’ve been a furniture man"
@@asdu4412so a salesmen/repo man? Edited. Never mind, I get it I’m pretty sure. Blaming his problems on others cause of an addiction.
Cool 👍😎
What key is this in? Do you have a chord chart stashed away anywhere? Awesome work!
He’s playing in G position capoed up, mostly G-E7-A7-D7-G. There are occasional B7 and C chords thrown in on the verses and transitions.
Это круто!
I thought you were going to do johny cash cocaine blues
Wow!!!@
