Description
Here's my tutorial for this amazing song by Skip James. Skip James' guitar playing is often noted for its dark, minor-key sound, played in an open D-minor tuning with an intricate fingerpicking technique. James first recorded for Paramount Records in 1931, but these recordings sold poorly, having been released during the Great Depression, and he drifted into obscurity. Thankfully he got rediscovered in the folk revival of the 1950's and 60s.
