I remember having 12 inch vinyl albums with tablature books by this wonderful guirarist. I couldn't follow the tabs, but i learned to listen to his playing and work out my way of playing. I met Stefan at a folk club / live music pub in Sheffield in the late 1970's. He was the live act that night and at the bar i asked him if he was planning to play a particular tune i had struggled with. He said no, but took me to a quiet corner of the pub and showed me the parts i had not been able to work out. He is a generous man with time to pass on his genuine passion for music. I will never forget that night. Thank you so much
Stefan grossman is one of these teachers you find yourself coming back to over and over again on your guitar learning journey ! Cheers for all the homework over the years and heres to much and many more ! 🍻
Wonderful tutorial Stephan, I love the way you role this all up which you could easily cross-over from blues into a country swing rendition of a timeless classic song. Many Thanks Barnsley Paul
Stefan, I own your DVD and it is so nice to see this on You Tube. You are helping me so much through your wonderful style and teaching. Keep up the good work!
Stefan, I've been buying your lessons on tape/DVD for 20 years-thank you so much for making the music I love so accessible to learn in these excellent lessons. It's great to see them on youtube. Is that guitar a mahogany/spruce combination-sounds beautiful.
Humans can behave reprehensibly, but if there's trouble later at the pearly gates, we can claim to have devised the guitar, and supported some representatives who know what to do with it.
In his RagtimeGuitar Book (Mel Bay) he says he uses D'Addario bronze lights gauge (not phosphor), but that was a long time ago. (He looks much younger on the photos...)
When you play it is a tutorial. Thom Bresh, also. What a nice man. You few traditionalists deserve to be compensated by the damned government. You are environment.
Bills version is the original, but Stef does a great job of interpreting. Pick up a guitar and give this a try. Hard to match play let alone match Bill...Interpretation makes music interesting.

A joy and a privilege to learn from the master as if he's right here! A great tutorial. Thank you.

Nicely done Stefan. 🎶👍
Ok, Mr. Grossman. I'm hooked. I'm not leaving this house until I can play this.
Beautiful , Thankyou Stefan.
An awesome teacher and guitar player , a pleasure to watch and listen to you .
Stefan, I own your DVD and it is so nice to see this on You Tube. You are helping me so much through your wonderful style and teaching. Keep up the good work!
Stefan's instructional DVD's are challenging me more to practice than I've practiced in many years. He is a great instructor
Thank you.
I love you Stefan. I will buy some of your books and DVD's. You are a great teacher and this kind of playing is damn fun.
Awesome Stefan!
Very nice. I'd like to see a version also that includes some of the other fills, turnarounds and single note solos that Big Bill did.
Listen to Gerry Lockrans version on UTUBE.
learning this piece at this very moment thank you very much :)))
Bravissimo !!!
Swing that thing! Thanks for posting.
Fantastic lesson . . . I wish you would sing more - lovely gravelly voice!

listen Gerry Lockrans version for some top class guitar picking
Does anyone know which string gauge does Stefan Grossman use?
In his RagtimeGuitar Book (Mel Bay) he says he uses D'Addario bronze lights gauge (not phosphor), but that was a long time ago. (He looks much younger on the photos...)
Try to look at his forum (The Woodshed). Stefan has answered this question numerous times there.
can anyone find stefan's version on the net in tab? broonzy's version is good, but i like this better.
Both are great.
who won't like this
So suh---weet.

Davy Graham needs to reincarnate. I've heard his playing was indiscernable from Mr. Broonzy's
great teaching, but listen to the mans (big bill broonzy) version for the real nerve!!
